Futur Proche (Near Future) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb embarquer
Introduction to the verb embarquer
The English translation of the French verb embarquer is “to embark” or “to board.” It is pronounced as “ahm-bahr-kay.”
The word embarquer comes from the Old French word “embarc;” which is derived from the Latin word “imbarcare,” meaning “to put on board.” It was originally used in the context of loading cargo onto a ship, but has since evolved to also mean boarding a vehicle or mode of transportation.
In everyday French, embarquer is often used in the Futur Proche (near future) tense to indicate an immediate or upcoming action. This tense is formed by using the auxiliary verb “aller” in the present tense, followed by the infinitive form of the main verb embarquer.
Here are three simple examples of embarquer in the Futur Proche tense:
- Je vais embarquer dans l’avion dans une heure. (I am going to board the plane in an hour.)
- On va embarquer le matériel dans le camion demain matin. (We are going to load the equipment onto the truck tomorrow morning.)
- Est-ce que vous allez embarquer avec nous dans le train? (Are you going to embark with us on the train?)
In these examples, the verb embarquer is used to express the immediate or upcoming action of boarding or loading onto a mode of transportation. In the Futur Proche tense, it can also be used to indicate future plans or arrangements.
