what are exceptions?

Answer 8

add a grave accent to a short ‘e’ in stem
peser-je pèserai
many verbs ending in eler/eter double the final future ending:
jeter-je jetterai
some verbs lose the i of the ending rir before the future ending
courir-je courrai
je mourrai
for the verbs ending in yer the y becomes i in the future simple e.g
envoyer
employer – j’emploierai, tu emploieras, il emploiera, nous emploierons, vous emploierez, ils emploieront
payer – je payerai/paierai
