Abstract. The aim of the study is to identify the main speech acts in which future tense forms function in French and Tatar languages. The article reveals the pragmatic potential of future tense forms. It is shown that in both languages, future tense forms are actively involved in the realization of speech acts. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the fact that, for the first time, speech acts in which future tense grammatical forms typically function have been identified, and their characteristics in Tatar and French have been determined. As a result of the study, five most typical speech acts were identified: promise, prediction, command, threat, and prospective praise. In Tatar, the definite future form dominates in the realization of speech acts of promise and threat; this form also prevails in expressing prediction and command, while in the act of praise, they are equally represented. In French, the simple future predominates in the realization of speech acts of promise, prediction, and threat; in the speech act of command, the immediate future is more involved, while in the act of praise, they are equally represented. In French, negative future tense forms are more frequently used, whereas in Tatar, they are observed only when expressing an act of threat. In Tatar, future tense forms are more actively involved in the realization of speech acts of prediction, threat, and promise than in French.
