How to Say "proceed" in Spanish
The Spanish word for “proceed” is “continúe” — A2 level. This is a very common word in everyday Spanish.
Examples
Por favor, continúe con la presentación.
Please, continue with the presentation.
Espero que mi hijo continúe estudiando en esa universidad.
I hope that my son continues studying at that university.
No creo que yo continúe aquí por mucho tiempo.
I don't think that I will continue here for a long time.
The Formal Command
When you need to give a polite instruction to someone you address as 'Usted' (formal you), you use the 'él/ella/usted' form of the present subjunctive. 'Continúe' is the formal way to say 'Continue!'
The Stress Mark
The accent mark on the 'u' (ú) in 'continúe' is very important! It tells you where to put the stress when you speak (con-ti-NUE-e), ensuring the sound is correct.
Using the wrong command form
Mistake: “Using 'continúa' when speaking formally (Usted).”
Correction: Use 'continúe' for formal situations (Mr. Smith, continue) and 'continúa' for informal ones (friend, continue).
