Hi Lewis,
The futur proche is constructed by the conjuaged form of "aller" + infinitive:
Je vais célébrer. -- I am going to celebrate.
Ils vont célébrer. -- They are going to celebrate.
-- Chris.

Ok, I see the problem now. I used 'iront' which is futur presént, and completely forgot about the three A1 lessons on futur proche. Thanks.

Correction of conjugated verb
The test question: My mates are not going to celebrate the new year.
HINT: Use Le Futur Proche
I wrote: Mes potes n'iront pas célébrer la nouvelle année.
Correct answer: Mes potes ne vont pas célébrer la nouvelle année.
If 'vont' is Le Présent and 'iront' is Le Futur, then why would my answer be incorrect?
This question relates to:
French lesson "Position of negation with two verbs (conjugated + infinitive)"
