Procederemos

Procederemos is the first-person plural form of the Spanish verb proceder in the simple future tense. It translates to “we will proceed” or “we shall proceed” and is used to indicate that the speaker and others intend to carry out a subsequent action as part of a plan or sequence.

Etymology and grammar: The verb proceder comes from Latin procedere, formed from pro- “forward” and cedere “to go, yield.” In Spanish, proceder is a regular -er verb, and its future tense is formed by adding the endings -é, -ás, -á, -emos, -éis, -án to the infinitive; hence “procederemos.”

Usage: Procederemos is common in formal or official contexts, such as communications from organizations, instructions in manuals, or statements of policy, where a planned course of action is being announced. It can imply commitment and a deliberate progression. In informal speech, speakers might choose alternatives like “vamos a proceder” or “proseguiremos,” depending on tone.

Examples:

- Procederemos a realizar las pruebas mañana. (We will proceed to conduct the tests tomorrow.)

- Procederemos con la siguiente fase una vez recibamos la aprobación. (We will proceed with the next phase once we receive the approval.)
