Introduction to the verb procurer
The English translation of the French verb procurer is “to provide” or “to obtain.” It is pronounced as “pro-koo-reh.”
The word “procurer” comes from the Latin word “procurare,” meaning “to take care of” or “to manage.” In everyday French, it is most often used in the Subjonctif Présent tense, which expresses a possibility or a hypothetical situation.
Three examples of its usage in this tense are:
- Il faut que je me procure un nouveau passeport avant mon voyage. (I need to get a new passport before my trip.)
- Je cherche un moyen de me procurer des billets pour le concert de demain soir. (I’m looking for a way to get tickets for tomorrow night’s concert.)
- Il est important que tu te procures de bonnes chaussures de randonnée pour la montagne. (It’s important that you get good hiking boots for the mountain.)
In these examples, “procurer” is used to express the need or desire to obtain something. In the Subjonctif Présent tense, it is often used with expressions such as “il faut que” (it’s necessary that) or “il est important que” (it’s important that).
