Usage notes
- Often more formal than andare avanti or continuare, especially in instructions, meetings, bureaucracy, and legal language.
- With infinitive, use procedere a + infinitive: procedere al pagamento, procedere a verificare. Learners often wrongly use per or bare infinitive.
- For movement, it usually takes essere in compound tenses: il lavoro è proceduto bene. In transitive bureaucratic uses, avere appears: abbiamo proceduto al rimborso.
