Qual é a diferença entre acquire e procure ?Podes indicar apenas respostas exemplo.
- Inglês (RU)
Both acquire and procure mean pretty much the same thing (to obtain).
Acquire can also have the nuance of "buy".
Procure is not as common as acquire.
I've never said procure lol.

Adding on to the answer:
Acquire is usually used to show possessiveness that is permanent whereas procure can be used to denote brief ownership.
Example:
"We procured some seats for the super ball."
Side note: Procure carries the nuance of being harder to obtain or something that is obtained with great effort.
However, in general, procure isn't used all that much as @Afroman already said. The only time I've used it is when I'm writing an essay or something formal.

I know this is two years old but I still came something across I wanna add here.
I read the word procurement department. This department is responsible for committing purchase orders. So therefore procure must have the connotation of purchasing.
