In French, what is the difference in pronunciation between the future and conditional tenses?
For example, avoir: I'm confused specifically on how to pronounce j'aurai and vous aurez versus j'aurais, tu aurais, il/elle/on aurait, and ils/elles auraient ... ps I understand how to pronounce the liasons lol, but just not the stems + suffixes. Merci!merci eternal rose, tu as répondu ma question :) désolé si l'était un peu incertain. mais j'ai autre question aussi: comme on prononce l'infinitif des verbes? Going back to english haha, are the last letters of infinitives silent as well? For example, is acheter pronounced a-che-tay? or a-che-ter? I'm confused as well for -ir and -re verbs too ... if you could give me some examples that would trés bon!

Answer

i didnt actually get ur question ^^' but j'aurai, j'aurais, tu aurais, on aurait, and ils auraient have the same pronounciation... in french, we dont pronounce the "s" or the "t" at the end of word in general ... and in this example, we dont pronounce the "ent" either ... 
Hope i answered ur question?! ^^'

Answer

Hello,
In fact, "j'aurai" (I'll have) and "j'aurais" (I'd have) are not pronounced the same way. The group "ai" in "J'aurai" is pronounced with a closed sound [é] whereas the group "ais" in "J'aurais" is pronounced with an open sound [è]. 
The infinitive of the verbs ending in -er (1st group) is pronounced with a closed sound [é]: the final "r" isn't pronounced. For the verbs in "ir", the final "r" is always pronounced.
