The English translation of the French verb bander is “to tighten” or “to stretch.” It is pronounced “bahn-deh” in its infinitive form.

The word bander comes from the Old French “bandir,” which means “to make a sally” or “to attack.” It ultimately derives from the Latin word “bendere,” meaning “to bind.” In modern French, bander is mostly used in the context of physical actions such as tightening or stretching, but it can also have metaphorical meanings.

In the Futur Proche tense, bander is conjugated with the auxiliary verb “aller” and the infinitive form “bander.” It is used to talk about an action that will happen in the near future.

Here are three examples of bander in the Futur Proche tense:

  1. Je vais bander mes muscles avant d’aller à la salle de sport. (I am going to tighten my muscles before going to the gym.)
  2. Elle va bander ses cheveux pour qu’ils ne lui tombent pas sur le visage. (She is going to tie up her hair so it won’t fall on her face.)
  3. Nous allons bander nos sacs avant de partir en randonnée. (We are going to pack our bags before going on a hike.)

In these examples, bander is used in its literal sense of tightening or tying up. However, it can also be used in a figurative sense, such as “bander les muscles” (to flex one’s muscles) or “bander les yeux” (to blindfold).

Bander – About the French Futur Proche (Near Future) Tense

The French futur proche, also known as the near future tense, is a verb tense used to express actions or events that will happen in the near future. It’s a relatively simple tense to form and is commonly used in everyday conversation in the French language.
NOTE: To take a deep dive into all the French tenses then see my article on Mastering French Tense Conjugation.

Formation

To form the futur proche, you typically use the present tense conjugation of the verb “aller” (to go) and follow it with the infinitive of the main verb:

1. Conjugate “aller” in the present tense according to the subject pronoun:

   – Je vais (I am going)
   – Tu vas (You are going)
   – Il/elle/on va (He/she/one is going)
   – Nous allons (We are going)
   – Vous allez (You are going)
   – Ils/elles vont (They are going)

2. Add the infinitive of the main verb immediately after “aller.” For example:

   – Je vais manger (I am going to eat)
   – Tu vas étudier (You are going to study)
   – Il va partir (He is going to leave)
   – Nous allons danser (We are going to dance)
   – Vous allez voyager (You are going to travel)
   – Ils vont travailler (They are going to work)

Common Everyday Usage

The futur proche is used to talk about actions or events that are expected to happen in the near future. It is often used in casual, everyday conversations to discuss plans, intentions, or predictions. For instance:
– Je vais faire les courses demain. (I am going to do the grocery shopping tomorrow.)
– Ils vont regarder un film ce soir. (They are going to watch a movie tonight.)
– Tu vas rencontrer Sophie à la gare. (You are going to meet Sophie at the train station.)

Interactions with Other Tenses

The futur proche is used to talk about the near future and should not be confused with the futur simple (simple future), which is used to discuss events that will happen further in the future. Here are some interactions with other tenses:

Present Tense

The futur proche is often used to express actions happening in the near future alongside actions in the present tense. For example: “Je travaille demain” (I am working tomorrow).

Past Tense

When narrating events in the past, the futur proche can be used to describe what was about to happen at a specific point in time. For example: “Il est arrivé à l’aéroport, mais son avion allait partir” (He arrived at the airport, but his plane was about to leave).

Conditional Tense

The futur proche can also be combined with the conditional to express future actions that are contingent on certain conditions. For example: “Si j’ai le temps, j’irai au cinéma ce soir” (If I have time, I will go to the cinema tonight).

Summary

The French futur proche is a versatile tense used to describe actions or events that will occur in the near future. It’s commonly used in everyday conversation to discuss plans, intentions, and predictions, and it interacts with other tenses to provide context for different time frames.
