Futur Proche (Near Future) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb commander
Introduction to the verb commander
The English translation of the French verb commander is “to command” or “to order.” The infinitive form of commander is pronounced “koh-mahn-day.”
The word commander comes from the Latin word “comandare,” meaning “to entrust.” It has been used in French since the 13th century in various forms, such as commandour, comender, and cemandier. In every day French, commander is most often used in the Futur Proche tense, which is formed by combining the verb “aller” (to go) with the infinitive form of the verb.
Examples of its usage in the Futur Proche tense are:
- Je vais commander une pizza pour le dîner ce soir. (I am going to order a pizza for dinner tonight.)
- Nous allons commander des fleurs pour l’anniversaire de notre mère. (We are going to order flowers for our mother’s birthday.)
- Tu vas commander un dessert pour le repas de ce soir ? (Are you going to order a dessert for tonight’s meal?)
In these examples, the verb commander is used to indicate a future action or plan, and is often followed by a direct object. In English, the Futur Proche tense is translated using the construction “to be going to + infinitive.”
