Futur Proche (Near Future) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb braquer
Introduction to the verb braquer
Braquer means “to aim” or “to point (a weapon)”. It is pronounced as “bra-keh”.
The word braquer comes from the Old French verb “braquier” which meant “to turn, to twist”. It originated from the Frankish word “braka” meaning “vise, clamp”.
In everyday French, braquer is often used in the Futur Proche tense (near future tense) to talk about actions that will happen soon. Here are 3 simple examples:
- Je vais braquer mon appareil photo sur les oiseaux. (I am going to aim my camera at the birds.)
- Tu vas braquer ta voiture vers la droite pour éviter la collision. (You are going to steer your car to the right to avoid the collision.)
- Ils vont braquer leur projecteur sur la scène pour éclairer les acteurs. (They are going to point their spotlight on the stage to illuminate the actors.)
Note: The Futur Proche tense is formed by using the verb “aller” (to go) in the present tense followed by the infinitive form of the main verb (braquer).
