Partir is a 3rd group verb.
You can know if a verb is a 2^nd group verbs with this: if the present participle is -issant so it’s a 2^nd group verbs.

Choisir → choisissant
Grandir → grandissant
Finir → finissant

When we conjugate a verb in -er in the future tense, we keep the infinitive and add the endings: ai, as, a, ons, ez, ont.
The verb envoyer is an irregular verb, so we write it with a double r.
J’enverrai
Tu enverras
Il/elle enverra
Nous enverrons
Vous enverrez
Ils/elles enverront

G

Ex : Cet homme nettoie la cour.
This man is cleaning the yard.

For the verbs that ends with –oyer, the letter y becomes i before a silent e.
Je nettoie
Tu nettoies
Il nettoie
Nous nettoyons
Vous nettoyez
Ils nettoient

H

Ex : Je courrais si le chien m’avait menacé.

In the future and conditional tenses, the verbs that take a double r are: courir, mourir, pouvoir, voir et envoyer.

Ex : Il peint dans son atelier.
He is painting in his studio.

The verb with the ending -dre: they keep the ending letter d at the 3rd person of the singular.   
Ex : Vendre (to sell) → il vend
Prendre (to take) → il prend

The verb with the ending -indre: they have the ending letter t at the 3rd person of the singular.   
Ex : Craindre (to fear) → il craint
Rejoindre (to join) → il rejoint
