Introduction to the verb chevaucher
The English translation of the French verb chevaucher is “to ride” or “to straddle”. It is pronounced “she-voh-shay”.
The etymology of chevaucher can be traced back to the Latin word “caballicare”, meaning “to ride on horseback”. In Old French, it was spelled as “chevauchier” and was used primarily in the context of horseback riding. Over time, it evolved to also mean “to ride” in general.
In everyday French, chevaucher is most often used in the Futur Proche tense, which is formed by using the present tense of the verb “aller” (to go) followed by the infinitive form of the main verb. In this tense, chevaucher indicates a future action that is about to happen or is very likely to happen.

- Nous allons chevaucher à cheval dans les montagnes ce weekend. (We are going to go horseback riding in the mountains this weekend.)
