ensure

The verb ensure has several meanings recognized by the Royal Spanish Academy (RAE) in your dictionary. The action is linked, in different ways, to the security: the insurance condition (that which minimizes the danger, lacks risk or is accurate).

The first meaning mentioned by the RAE alludes to act that serves so that an object or an individual remains well attached or gains stability. Depending on the context, there are numerous mechanisms and resources that serve this purpose.

The safety of children in a car

Securing something through an expression

Another use of the notion of insuring is linked to the expression that is done without hesitation or hint of doubt. Whoever assures something, in this way, says it with conviction and granting certainties about what is stated.

Suppose a man says to another: "Can you assure me that you will deliver the order before Friday?". Faced with this question, the interlocutor responds: "Yes, I assure you. Do not worry". As can be seen in this dialogue, one person asks another to assure him of a certain issue (the delivery of an order). By ensuring such action in its response, the recipient of the request makes a commitment.

Let's look at another example. The mayor of a city can affirm to the media: "I'm going to make sure that each neighbor has a plate of food on their table". With this assertion, the communal chief certifies that he will see that no one in his district passes hungry.

Of course, these assertions are just words; that is, they do not have a direct effect on what is expressed. Returning to the hypothetical situations raised, it is possible that the order is not finally delivered before the deadline and that there are citizens who still do not have the resources to buy food.
