However, in Spanish, tocar holds this meaning when referring to playing music or instruments. On the other hand, jugar relates to playing games and sports. \n\n\n\nMar\u00eda y Juan tocan la bater\u00eda. Mar\u00eda and Juan play the drums.\n\n\n\nJugamos Monopoly toda la noche.\u00a0 We played Monopoly the whole night. \n\n\n\nTocar vs Jugar: Key Points\n\n\n\n\u2018Tocar\u2019 means \u2018to play\u2019, but it\u2019s only used with music or instruments.\u00a0In other contexts, it\u2019s used to talk about obligations or as the direct translation of \u2018to touch\u2019.\u00a0\u2018Jugar\u2019 refers to playing games, sports, cards, or performing any other activities to entertain yourself.\u00a0It\u2019s the direct translation of \u2018to play\u2019.\u00a0In the present tense, \u2018jugar\u2019 has an O to U stem-change. \u2018Tocar\u2019 has changes in the preterite, subjunctive and imperative.\u00a0\n\n\n\nTocar vs jugar is a pair of tricky verbs that Spanish beginners often confuse. In the guide below, you\u2019ll learn when and how to use these verbs correctly. \n\n\n\nWhen to Use Tocar in Spanish?\n\n\n\nOne of the main uses of the verb tocar is to talk about the instruments and music people play. \n\n\n\n\u00bfCu\u00e1ndo aprendiste a tocar el piano? When did you learn to play the piano?\n\n\n\nLa banda de mi hermano toca jazz.\u00a0 My brother\u2019s band plays jazz.\n\n\n\nLos domingos, Matt y su banda tocan en este restaurante. Matt and his band play in this restaurant on Sundays.\u00a0\n\n\n\nIn daily life Spanish, tocar also means \u2018to be someone\u2019s turn\u2019. As a result, it can be used to talk about duties and obligations, or express that someone is next. \n\n\n\n[Indirect pronoun] + [tocar conjugated] + (infinitive verb)\n\n\n\nNo te toca a ti, me toca a m\u00ed.\u00a0 It\u2019s not your turn, it\u2019s mine.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\u00bfA qui\u00e9n le toca lavar los trastes? Whose turn is it to wash the dishes?\n\n\n\nHoy nos toc\u00f3 comer pollo y ensalada.\u00a0 Today, we had chicken and salad.\u00a0\n\n\n\nFinally, tocar is also used as the direct translation of \u2018to touch\u2019 or \u2018to knock\u2019. \n\n\n\nCuando llegues, toca fuerte.\u00a0 When you arrive, knock loudly.\u00a0\n\n\n\nNo toques la estufa porque est\u00e1 caliente.\u00a0 Don\u2019t touch the stove because it\u2019s hot.\u00a0\n\n\n\nTake Note: When conjugating tocar, there are some stem-changes you should keep in mind. \n\n\n\nWhen to Use Jugar?\n\n\n\nJugar is the direct translation of \u2018to play\u2019. In Spanish, jugar expresses that someone performs an activity with the purpose of amusing or entertaining themselves. Therefore, it\u2019s combined with games, objects, or certain sports. \n\n\n\nMi gato juega con mis calcetines.\u00a0 My cat plays with my socks.\u00a0\n\n\n\nA Diana le gusta jugar con su cabello.\u00a0 Diana likes playing with her hair.\u00a0\n\n\n\nEl beb\u00e9 juega con el piano de su pap\u00e1.\u00a0 The baby plays with his father\u2019s piano.\u00a0\n\n\n\nTus hermanas juegan voleibol y las m\u00edas juegan baloncesto.\u00a0 Your sisters play volleyball and mine play basketball.\u00a0\n\n\n\nNote that in the previous example, we use jugar with an instrument. This doesn\u2019t imply that the baby is producing music, but rather just using the piano as a toy to entertain himself. \n\n\n\nSome of the sports are often combined with jugar are:\n\n\n\nFutbol\/SoccerVoleibolBaseballBasketballGolfWater polo Ping pongHockeyTenisRugby\n\n\n\nTake Note: Jugar is the only verb that has an O to U stem change when conjugated in the present tense.\u00a0\n\n\n\nWhen it comes to sports, In Spanish, you must use practicar instead of jugar to express that you\u2019re training or practicing a sport more seriously. \n\n\n\nAntes practicaba tenis, pero ahora s\u00f3lo juego de vez en cuando.\u00a0 Before, I used to practice tennis, but now I only play once in a while.\u00a0","headline":"Tocar vs Jugar: Key Differences, Practical Examples & More","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Daniela Sanchez","url":"https:\/\/www.tellmeinspanish.com\/about-me\/"},"datePublished":"2024-06-02","mainEntityOfPage":"False","dateModified":"June 2, 2024","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/www.tellmeinspanish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/to-play-in-spanish-tocar-vs-jugar-300x169.jpg","height":169,"width":300},"publisher":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Organization","name":"Tell Me In Spanish","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/www.tellmeinspanish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/tmis_logo_xs-300x188.png","height":600,"width":60}}} </script> <article class="article-card horizontal "> <a href="https://www.tellmeinspanish.com/mexican-spanish/neta-meaning/" rel="nofollow"><div class="image-container" style="background-image: url('https://www.tellmeinspanish.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Spanish-Slang-101_-La-Neta-Meaning-Real-Life-Examples-300x169.jpg')"></div><span class="sr-only">link to Spanish Slang 101: La Neta Meaning + Real-Life Examples</span></a> <div class="copy-container"> <header> <p><a href="https://www.tellmeinspanish.com/mexican-spanish/neta-meaning/">Spanish Slang 101: La Neta Meaning + Real-Life Examples</a></p> </header> <div class="excerpt"> <p>In Mexican Spanish, la neta is an informal expression speakers use to say ‘the truth’ or ‘to be honest’.

Neta, without \u2018la\u2019, means \u2018really\u2019 and emphasizes a statement, or expresses surprise or disbelief.\n\n\n\nLa neta, a m\u00ed no me gust\u00f3 la peli. To be honest, I didn\u2019t like the movie. \n\n\n\nDime la neta, \u00bfmis tenis est\u00e1n muy feos? Tell me the truth. Are my sneakers too ugly?\n\n\n\n\u00bfNeta se enoj\u00f3 porque no la invitamos? Did she really get mad because we didn\u2019t invite her? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow & When to Use La Neta in Spanish Slang\n\n\n\nLa neta is one of the most popular expressions in Mexican slang because it\u2019s used to ask, emphasize or say that something is the truth. \n\n\n\nLa neta, la neta, no quiero ir.  The truth is that I don\u2019t want to go. \n\n\n\nSi te digo la neta, \u00bfno te enojas? If I tell you the truth, you won\u2019t be mad?\n\n\n\nLa mera neta no me cae bien la novia de Javi.  To be really honest, I don\u2019t like Javi\u2019s girlfriend. \n\n\n\n\u00bfVa a ir Sonia? Porque la neta patineta no quiero verla.  Is Sonia going? Because the truth is that I don\u2019t want to see her. \n\n\n\nAs shown in the last two examples, this expression can be intensified with some words like mera or patineta. Adding these terms doesn\u2019t affect la neta meaning, they rather emphasize it.\n\n\n\nTake Note: Because of its nature, la neta is suitable for informal situations. \n\n\n\nWhat Does Neta Mean & When to Use It\n\n\n\nNeta without the definite article \u2018la\u2019 conveys surprise or disbelief. It can also be used to seek confirmation or emphasize a sentence. When it works as an informal interjection, it means \u2018really\u2019, \u2018are you serious\u2019, or similar expressions. \n\n\n\n\u00bfEres la hermana de Juan Pablo? \u00bfNeta? Are you Juan Pablo\u2019s sister? Really?\n\n\n\n\u00bfEs neta que se te olvid\u00f3 comprar los boletos? Did you really forget to buy the tickets?\n\n\n\nNeta no entiendo c\u00f3mo pueden comer tanto.  I really don\u2019t understand how you guys can eat so much. \n\n\n\nOther Ways to Say Neta & La Neta\n\n\n\nHere are other popular and basic Spanish expressions you can use instead of neta and la neta. \n\n\n\nPara ser honesto\/a - To be honestLa verdad - The truth\u00bfEn serio? - Really? \u00bfDe verdad? - Really? Honestamente - Honestly \n\n\n\n\u00bfRenata es tu prima? \u00bfEn serio?Is Renata your cousin? Really?\n\n\n\nPara ser honesta, no quiero ir a esa fiesta.  To be honest, I don\u2019t want to go to that party.\n\n\n\nSi Sonia va, yo no voy. La verdad, no quiero verla.  If Sonia goes, I won\u2019t. The truth is that I don\u2019t want to see her.","headline":"Spanish Slang 101: La Neta Meaning + Real-Life Examples","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Daniela Sanchez","url":"https:\/\/www.tellmeinspanish.com\/about-me\/"},"datePublished":"2024-06-02","mainEntityOfPage":"False","dateModified":"June 2, 2024","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/www.tellmeinspanish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Spanish-Slang-101_-La-Neta-Meaning-Real-Life-Examples-300x169.jpg","height":169,"width":300},"publisher":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Organization","name":"Tell Me In Spanish","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/www.tellmeinspanish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/tmis_logo_xs-300x188.png","height":600,"width":60}}} </script> <article class="article-card horizontal "> <a href="https://www.tellmeinspanish.com/grammar/mi-in-spanish/" rel="nofollow"><div class="image-container" style="background-image: url('https://www.tellmeinspanish.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Mi-in-Spanish-101_-Mi-vs-Mí-vs-Me-vs-Yo-300x169.jpg')"></div><span class="sr-only">link to Mi in Spanish 101: Mi vs Mí vs Me vs Yo – Tips + Examples</span></a> <div class="copy-container"> <header> <p><a href="https://www.tellmeinspanish.com/grammar/mi-in-spanish/">Mi in Spanish 101: Mi vs Mí vs Me vs Yo – Tips + Examples</a></p> </header> <div class="excerpt"> <p>There is a significant difference in the pronouns mi vs mí.

Mi is a possessive adjective that works in front of singular nouns, and it means \u2018my\u2019. M\u00ed, with an accent, is a pronoun that is placed after prepositions in Spanish. These words should not be confused with the object pronoun me. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMi in Spanish: Key Points\n\n\n\n\u2018Yo\u2019, \u2018mi\u2019, \u2018m\u00ed\u2019, and \u2018me\u2019 are different types of Spanish pronouns for the first person singular. However, they all have different functions. Here are some roles to keep in mind:\n\n\n\nAs a possessive adjective, mi (without accent) indicates possession or relationships.\u00a0It\u2019s placed before singular nouns, and has a plural form.\u00a0M\u00ed with an accent is a prepositional pronoun and is placed after most prepositions \u2013para m\u00ed, a m\u00ed, por m\u00ed, etc.\u00a0Me is an object pronoun and communicates that the first person singular is the object of the sentence.\u00a0It can be reflexive if the subject performs the action on itself.\u00a0It works as a direct object pronoun if someone else performs the action on this person.\u00a0Me is an indirect object pronoun when the person is affected or benefited by the action.As a subject pronoun, yo replaces the subject of the sentence \u2013 the person who performs the action.\u00a0\n\n\n\nIn the following sections, you\u2019ll learn the specific situations where you must use each one of these Spanish words. \n\n\n\nMi vs M\u00ed\n\n\n\nMi vs m\u00ed are distinguished by the absence or presence of an accent mark. The accent not only indicates a difference in pronunciation, but also changes these words' meanings. \n\n\n\nMi without an accent is the singular Spanish possessive adjective for \u2018yo\u2019. As a result, it indicates that something belongs to this pronoun. A key characteristic of mi is that it must be placed before a singular noun.\n\n\n\nMi + [singular noun]\n\n\n\nMi mochila est\u00e1 sucia.\u00a0 My backpack is dirty.\u00a0\n\n\n\nEse es mi hermano.\u00a0 That one is my brother.\u00a0\n\n\n\nDej\u00e9 mi cartera en tu carro. I left my wallet in your car.\u00a0\n\n\n\nKatie y Ben son mis amigos.\u00a0 Katie and Ben are my friends.\u00a0\n\n\n\nAs shown in the previous example, mi has a plural form (mis). \n\n\n\nTake Note: When the context is clear and you can omit the belonging or relationship, you can use the possessive adjective m\u00edo instead of mi \u2013 \u201cesa es m\u00eda\u201d. \n\n\n\nM\u00ed with an accent is a prepositional pronoun in Spanish. In other words, this is a pronoun we use instead of \u2018yo\u2019 and that we must place after most prepositions.   \n\n\n\n[Preposition] + m\u00ed\n\n\n\nA m\u00ed me gusta leer.\u00a0 I like reading.\n\n\n\n\u00bfHiciste ese pastel para m\u00ed? \u00a1Qu\u00e9 lindo!\u00a0 Did you make that cake for me? How nice!\u00a0\n\n\n\nGracias a m\u00ed, mis amigas encontraron sus bolsas. Thanks to me, my friends found their bags.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTake Note: Like mi vs m\u00ed, there are other sets of words whose meanings are affected by accent marks. Some examples are si vs s\u00ed, te vs t\u00e9, and el vs \u00e9l. \n\n\n\nWhen to Use Me in Spanish\n\n\n\nIn Spanish, me is an object pronoun. It expresses that the first person singular (yo) is the object of a sentence. Depending on its role, me can be an indirect, direct, or reflexive pronoun. \n\n\n\nAs a reflexive pronoun, me communicates that I\u2019m both the subject and object of the action. In other words, it indicates that I perform the action on myself. For example:\n\n\n\nYo me cepillo el cabello.\u00a0 I brush my hair.\u00a0\n\n\n\nMe despert\u00e9 muy temprano.\u00a0 I woke up very early.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\u00bfMe pongo el vestido que me regalaste? Should I wear the dress you gave me?\n\n\n\nOn the other hand, me, as a direct object pronoun, indicates that the first person singular is the target of the action, the person to whom we do something. \n\n\n\n\u00bfS\u00ed me quieres? Do you love me?\n\n\n\nMi prima me maquilla.\u00a0 My cousin puts makeup on me.\u00a0\n\n\n\nLaura me deja en la oficina todos los d\u00edas.\u00a0 Laura leaves me in the office everyday.\u00a0\n\n\n\nWhen working as a Spanish indirect object pronoun, me communicates that this person is affected or benefited by the action. \n\n\n\n\u00a0Dime qu\u00e9 dijo.\u00a0 Tell me what she said.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\u00bfMe compras esas flores? Can you buy me those flowers?\n\n\n\n\u00bfMe pongo el vestido que me regalaste? Should I wear the dress you gave me?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUsing the Pronoun Yo\n\n\n\nYo is a subject pronoun for the first person singular and indicates who performs the action of a sentence. For example:\n\n\n\nYo soy maestra.\u00a0 I am a teacher.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\u00bfT\u00fa cu\u00e1ndo puedes? Yo puedo el domingo.\u00a0 When can you do it? I can on Sunday.\u00a0\n\n\n\nYo me ba\u00f1o en las ma\u00f1anas despu\u00e9s de correr.\u00a0 I shower in the morning after running.\u00a0\n\n\n\nTake Note: Due to the verb conjugation, subject pronouns in Spanish can be omitted without affecting the meaning of the sentence. This is not the case with \u2018mi\u2019, \u2018m\u00ed\u2019, and \u2018me\u2019, which are mandatory to keep the meaning of a statement. \n\n\n\nDownload Lesson PDF\n\n\n\nWatch the Video Lesson\n\n\n\n\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5kr1GKX1mDQ\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/AIA5cqcNJ2w\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWatch the Spanish Immersion Lesson!Mi, m\u00ed, me, and yo are often confused and can be difficult for beginners to understand.

S\u00ed with an accent means \u2018yes\u2019. On top of affirming or confirming a statement, s\u00ed can also be used to emphasize positive sentences: s\u00ed, s\u00ed voy a ir, and to express a reflexive action. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nS\u00ed and Si in Spanish are crucial for daily communication. So, in this guide, I\u2019ll show you the key uses and differences between these words. \n\n\n\nSi vs S\u00ed: What\u2019s the Difference?\n\n\n\nThe absence and presence of the accent in si and s\u00ed changes the meaning of these words: \n\n\n\nSi la veo, yo le digo.  If I see her, I\u2019ll let her know. \n\n\n\nS\u00ed, yo le digo si la veo.  Yes, I\u2019ll let her know if I see her. \n\n\n\nSi sabes algo, me dices \u00bfs\u00ed? If you know something, let me know, okay? \n\n\n\nThe accent mark also affects the pronunciation of si and s\u00ed.\n\n\n\nS\u00ed with an accent adds emphasis to the vowel \u2018\u00ed\u2019, whereas this sound is not intensified with si. As a Spanish conjugation, si is always followed by a conjugated verb or object pronouns, while s\u00ed can work on its own. \n\n\n\nTake Note: Just like the accent mark changes the meaning of si and s\u00ed, the same happens with the pair of words el vs \u00e9l. \n\n\n\nWhen to use si\n\n\n\nThe most important use of si is to form conditional sentences, also known as Spanish si clauses. Si introduces the condition that must be fulfilled to reach a certain outcome\n\n\n\n[Si] + [conjugated verb] \n\n\n\nSi estudias, vas a pasar tu examen. If you study, you will pass your exam.\n\n\n\n\u00bfQu\u00e9 har\u00edas si ganaras la loter\u00eda? What would you do if you won the lottery?\n\n\n\nSi hubiera podido, te habr\u00eda ayudado.  If I could\u2019ve, I would have helped you.\n\n\n\nH\u00e1blame si cambias de opini\u00f3n.  Call me if you change your mind. \n\n\n\nOn top of conditional statements, si is also used to express uncertainty and compare hypothetical situations: \n\n\n\nNo s\u00e9 si Emma se enoj\u00f3 conmigo.  I don\u2019t know if Emma is mad at me. \n\n\n\n\u00bfSupiste si Brenda renunci\u00f3? Did you hear if Brenda quit? \n\n\n\nLo recuerdo como si hubiera sido ayer. I remember it as if it was yesterday.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nS\u00ed with an accent\n\n\n\nAs the equivalent of \u2018yes\u2019, s\u00ed with an accent affirms or seeks to confirm information: \n\n\n\n[S\u00ed] + [verb conjugated] + [complement]\n\n\n\nS\u00ed, soy mexicano. Yes, I\u2019m Mexican.\n\n\n\nS\u00ed, si quieres, vamos ma\u00f1ana.  Yes, if you want, let\u2019s go tomorrow\n\n\n\nAv\u00edsame cuando llegues, \u00bfs\u00ed? Let me know when you get there, yes? \n\n\n\nIn real life conversations, s\u00ed can also be used to emphasize the information given in a sentence. In this context, s\u00ed is the equivalent of \u2018do\u2019 or \u2018be\u2019: \n\n\n\n[S\u00ed] + [verb conjugated] + [complement]\n\n\n\nCreo que s\u00ed estoy enfermo.\n\n\n\nI think I am sick.\n\n\n\nLaura no quiere ir, pero Tania s\u00ed.\n\n\n\nLaura doesn\u2019t want to go, but Tania does. \n\n\n\n\u00bfS\u00ed encontraste las galletas que te gustan?\n\n\n\nDid you find the cookies that you like?\n\n\n\nWhen combined with prepositions, si forms part of reflexive expressions, working similarly to Spanish reflexive pronouns:\n\n\n\n[Noun] + [verb conjugated] + [preposition] + [s\u00ed]\n\n\n\nLos ni\u00f1os se ayudan entre s\u00ed. Children help each other.\n\n\n\nA Ashley le gusta tomarse fotos de s\u00ed misma. Ashley likes to take photos of herself.\n\n\n\nLos nuevos jugadores tienen mucha confianza en s\u00ed mismos. The new players have a lot of confidence in themselves.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTake Note: There are many slang terms you can use to say \u2018yes\u2019 in Spanish. Using these informal expressions can help you sound more natural. \n\n\n\nSi or S\u00ed: Key Points\n\n\n\nSi vs s\u00ed is a topic that you need to master since both words have crucial applications in Spanish. Here are a few key points to remember:\n\n\n\nSi (no accent)\n\n\n\nIt has a less emphatic pronunciation.It\u2019s used to create conditional sentences. Si (if) introduces the condition that must be fulfilled to reach an outcome. It can also express uncertainty and compare hypothetical situations. \n\n\n\nS\u00ed (with accent)\n\n\n\nIts pronunciation emphasizes the vowel \u2018i\u2019.It means \u2018yes\u2019.It emphasizes the affirmative information given in a sentence. When combined with prepositions, s\u00ed is used in reflexive expressions, indicating actions directed towards oneself.\n\n\n\nDOWNLOAD LESSON PDF","headline":"Si vs S\u00ed: Differences Simplified & Key Uses","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Daniela Sanchez","url":"https:\/\/www.tellmeinspanish.com\/about-me\/"},"datePublished":"2024-06-02","mainEntityOfPage":"False","dateModified":"June 2, 2024","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/www.tellmeinspanish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Si-vs-Si\u0301_-Differences-Simplified-Key-Uses-300x169.jpg","height":169,"width":300},"publisher":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Organization","name":"Tell Me In Spanish","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/www.tellmeinspanish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/tmis_logo_xs-300x188.png","height":600,"width":60}}} </script> <article class="article-card horizontal "> <a href="https://www.tellmeinspanish.com/grammar/contractions-in-spanish/" rel="nofollow"><div class="image-container" style="background-image: url('https://www.tellmeinspanish.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/al-del_-contractions-in-spanish-300x169.jpg')"></div><span class="sr-only">link to Contractions in Spanish: When to Use Del & Al</span></a> <div class="copy-container"> <header> <p><a href="https://www.tellmeinspanish.com/grammar/contractions-in-spanish/">Contractions in Spanish: When to Use Del & Al</a></p> </header> <div class="excerpt"> <p>Del and al are contractions in Spanish that must be used with singular masculine nouns.

Al is the contraction of the preposition a + el, whereas del is the contraction of the preposition de + el. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThese contractions have a few elements in common \u2013 the definite article el and the fact that they can only work with singular masculine nouns. But since they\u2019re formed with unique Spanish prepositions, their applications differ. \n\n\n\nCheck these examples:\n\n\n\nEse libro es del vecino. Ponlo al lado de la tele. That\u2019s the neighbor\u2019s book. Put it next to the TV. \n\n\n\nClara se fue del banco a las cuatro para ir al dentista.Clara left the bank at four to go to the dentist.\n\n\n\n\nSpanish Contractions Key Points\n\n\n\nAl and del are the only two contractions in Spanish, and they\u2019re crucial for communication. Here are some key points to keep in mind:\n\n\n\nBoth al and del contract with the article el. As a result, they work with singular masculine nouns.A + el = al. De + el = del. Al expresses direction, destination, location, time, or introduces the object in a sentence. Del indicates origin and possession. It can also be used in comparative sentences.The prepositions a and de must be used instead of the contractions with:Proper nouns: \u201cde Mexico\u201d or \u201ca El Paso, Texas\u201d. Feminine or plural nouns: \u201ces de los ni\u00f1os\u201d, \u201cvoy a la tienda\u201d. Singular masculine nouns preceded by Spanish determiners other than \u2018el\u2019: \u201ces de mi hijo\u201d. \n\n\n\n\nWhen to Use Del in Spanish\n\n\n\nDel in Spanish (de + el) is used in sentences that express origin, comparisons or possession, as long as these statements are formed with singular masculine nouns: \n\n\n\nDel + [singular masculine noun]\n\n\n\nMi mam\u00e1 es del norte de M\u00e9xico.My mom is from northern Mexico.\n\n\n\nLa hija del profesor es doctora.The professor's daughter is a doctor.\n\n\n\nEsas galletas son del ni\u00f1o de rojo.Those cookies are the kid\u2019s in red. \n\n\n\nSa\u00fal es el m\u00e1s r\u00e1pido del equipo.Sa\u00fal is the fastest in the team. \n\n\n\nNo creo que la leche sirva, es del quince de marzo. I don't think the milk is good; it\u2019s from March fifteen. \n\n\n\nDe vs del \n\n\n\nThe Spanish contraction del is not used with feminine or plural nouns. With these elements, you must use the preposition de and the appropriate article. \n\n\n\nDe + [feminine\/plural article] + [feminine\/plural noun]\n\n\n\nEl hijo de la profesora tiene 5 a\u00f1os.The teacher's son is 5 years old.\n\n\n\nEsas galletas son de los ni\u00f1os.Those cookies are the kids\u2019 cookies.\n\n\n\nWhen it comes to singular masculine nouns, de must also be used instead of del if working with proper Spanish nouns or if a common noun is preceded by other determiners, such as possessive or demonstrative adjectives. \n\n\n\nCheck these examples:\n\n\n\nDe + (determiner) + [noun]\n\n\n\nYo soy de M\u00e9xico, \u00bft\u00fa de d\u00f3nde eres?I\u2019m from Mexico. Where are you from?\n\n\n\nEl celular de mi mam\u00e1 est\u00e1 en la mesa.My mom's cell phone is on the table.\n\n\n\n\u00bfCu\u00e1l es la serie m\u00e1s vista de este mes?What\u2019s the most watched TV show this month?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow & When to Use Al in Spanish\n\n\n\nAl in Spanish is the contraction of a + el, and it\u2019s also used with singular masculine nouns. Because of the nature of the preposition a, these nouns are often used to express: \n\n\n\nDirection\/DestinationLocationTimeDirect and indirect objects\n\n\n\nHere are some examples:\n\n\n\nAl + [singular masculine noun]\n\n\n\nDespidieron al primo de Luis.They fired Luis's cousin.\n\n\n\n\u00bfQuieres ir al cine ma\u00f1ana?Do you want to go to the movies tomorrow?\n\n\n\nDej\u00e9 mis llaves junto al tel\u00e9fono de Tina.I left my keys next to Tina\u2019s phone. \n\n\n\nAl rato voy a llevar al perro al veterinario.Later, I\u2019m going to take the dog to the vet. \n\n\n\nSimilar to del, the contraction al in Spanish must not be used with: \n\n\n\nFeminine or plural nouns preceded by articles.Proper nouns.Singular masculine nouns preceded by other determiners, such as possessives. \n\n\n\nYou can see these rules in the following examples:\n\n\n\nA + (determiner) + [noun]\n\n\n\nVamos a ir a El Paso.We\u2019re going to El Paso.\n\n\n\n\u00bfPuedes llevar a las ni\u00f1as a la tienda?Can you take the girls to the store?\n\n\n\nJuan le regal\u00f3 un dulce a Luis.Juan gave a candy to Luis.  \n\n\n\nVen a este banco y de aqu\u00ed nos vamos al cine.Come to this bank and from here we\u2019ll go to the movies. \n\n\n\nTake Note: Using the preposition a to introduce the object of a sentence is known as personal a in Spanish. If that object is direct, you will not see this structure in English.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDOWNLOAD PDF LESSON","headline":"Contractions in Spanish: When to Use Del & Al","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Daniela Sanchez","url":"https:\/\/www.tellmeinspanish.com\/about-me\/"},"datePublished":"2024-05-06","mainEntityOfPage":"False","dateModified":"May 6, 2024","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/www.tellmeinspanish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/al-del_-contractions-in-spanish-300x169.jpg","height":169,"width":300},"publisher":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Organization","name":"Tell Me In Spanish","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/www.tellmeinspanish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/tmis_logo_xs-300x188.png","height":600,"width":60}}} </script> <article class="article-card horizontal "> <a href="https://www.tellmeinspanish.com/mexican-spanish/chido-meaning/" rel="nofollow"><div class="image-container" style="background-image: url('https://www.tellmeinspanish.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Mexican-Slang-Words-101-Chido-Meaning-Examples-300x169.jpg')"></div><span class="sr-only">link to Mexican Slang Words 101: Chido Meaning + Examples</span></a> <div class="copy-container"> <header> <p><a href="https://www.tellmeinspanish.com/mexican-spanish/chido-meaning/">Mexican Slang Words 101: Chido Meaning + Examples</a></p> </header> <div class="excerpt"> <p>In Mexican slang Spanish, chido is an adjective that describes that something or someone is cool, nice, pretty or good.

Did you like it?\n\n\n\nChido is one of the most common Mexican slang words and, as you\u2019ll see in more detail in the coming sections, it can be applied in different situations. \n\n\n\nHow & When to Use Chido \n\n\n\nThere are four main situations where chido can be used:\n\n\n\nDescribing someone\u2019s personalityDescribing or emphasizing quality or appearance Reacting to a situationThanking\n\n\n\nIn Mexican Spanish, chido can work as an informal adjective to describe people\u2019s personality. In this context, chido means \u2018cool\u2019, \u2018nice\u2019, or \u2018great\u2019, and must mark gender and number:\n\n\n\nSer + (adverb) + chido\n\n\n\nMis amigos son muy chidos.My friends are very cool.\n\n\n\nLa neta, tu ex no era chida. Nunca me cay\u00f3 bien.To be honest, your ex was not cool. I never liked her. \n\n\n\nLas chicas nuevas son bien chidas, \u00bfya las conoces?The new girls are very nice. Do you already know them?\n\n\n\nTake Note: When describing personality, chido works with the verb ser. \n\n\n\nWe Mexican speakers also use chido to express that an object has good qualities or a cool appearance. \n\n\n\n\u00a1Qu\u00e9 chido est\u00e1 tu carro! Your car is so cool!\n\n\n\nLa fiesta a la que fui estuvo muy chidaThe party I went to was very cool.\n\n\n\nEste libro no est\u00e1 tan chido como el primero.This book is not as good as the first one.\n\n\n\nThe expression \u00a1qu\u00e9 chido!

How cool!\n\n\n\nA less popular meaning of chido among Spanish learners is as an informal way to say thank you or to agree with a situation. \n\n\n\nSpanishEnglishPerson 1: Ya te mand\u00e9 tu dinero.Person 1: I already sent you your money.Person 2: Chido. Ya me lleg\u00f3.Person 2: Thanks. I already got it. \n\n\n\nSpanishEnglishPerson 1: Entonces, ma\u00f1ana paso por ti.Person 1: So, I\u2019ll pick you up tomorrow. Person 2: Chido. Te veo ma\u00f1ana temprano.Person 2: Great.

El without an accent is a definite article (the) and more often it\u2019s placed before concrete singular masculine nouns. \u00c9l with an accent is a pronoun for the 3rd person singular: it replaces a male subject or object. Depending on the sentence, \u00e9l means \u2018he\u2019 or \u2018him\u2019. \n\n\n\nEl tel\u00e9fono azul es de \u00e9l.The blue phone is for him.El hospital est\u00e1 a dos cuadras.The hospital is two blocks away.\u00c9l es el pap\u00e1 de ese ni\u00f1o. He is that boy\u2019s father. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEl vs \u00e9l are terms with specific roles and, as such, they work with different elements and constructions. Since they\u2019re both crucial, in the following sections, you\u2019ll learn their differences by learning when and how to use each term. \n\n\n\n\n\nEl vs \u00c9l: Key Points\n\n\n\nEl vs \u00e9l is a set of crucial words that you must master. Here are the primary aspects you need to remember: \n\n\n\nThe meaning of el vs \u00e9l changes based on the presence or absence of the accent mark. El without an accent is a definite article (the) and conveys specificity. It\u2019s placed before singular masculine nouns \u2013el perro, el ni\u00f1o, el cami\u00f3n. El + adjective\/adverb identifies and describes a noun that\u2019s been omitted \u2013el rojo. \u00c9l with an accent is a pronoun and, as such, it replaces a noun from the sentence. Depending on its role in the sentence, it can be a subject or a prepositional pronoun. \n\n\n\n\n\nHow & When to Use El in Spanish\n\n\n\nIn Spanish, el without an accent is a definite article. It\u2019s placed before singular masculine nouns to indicate that such a thing, person, place, or concept is specific. \n\n\n\nFor example:\n\n\n\nEl ni\u00f1o est\u00e1 buscando a su perro.The boy is looking for his dog.El perro que est\u00e1 en el patio es m\u00edo.The dog that is in the yard is mine.Voy a ver a Mateo el mes que viene.I\u2019m going to see Mateo next month.El banco est\u00e1 al lado del teatro.The bank is next to the theater. \n\n\n\nAs you can see in the last examples, when combined with the prepositions \u2018a\u2019 and \u2018de\u2019, el is part of the Spanish contractions al and del. \n\n\n\nSince days of the week in Spanish are masculine, they\u2019re preceded by el when using these words as time expressions: \n\n\n\nDonna llega el mi\u00e9rcoles.Donna arrives on Wednesday.El viernes tengo una cita con el doctor.On Friday I have an appointment with the doctor.\u00bfPuedes el lunes? Si no, estoy libre los martes. Can you do it on Monday? If not, I\u2019m free on Tuesdays. \n\n\n\nTake Note: Both el and la mean \u2018the\u2019, but in Spanish, they\u2019re applied depending on the noun\u2019s gender. El works with masculine nouns, whereas la is used for feminine nouns. \n\n\n\nWhen the context is clear and the noun can be omitted, el can be combined with adverbs and adjectives that help you identify and describe the noun. \n\n\n\nA m\u00ed me gusta el rojo.I like the red one.Voy a comprar el m\u00e1s barato.I\u2019m going to buy the cheapest one. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWatch the El vs \u00c9l Video Lesson\n\n\n\n\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=DOdgKpCXgH0\n\n\n\n\nWhen Should You Use \u00c9l\n\n\n\n\u00c9l with an accent is a Spanish pronoun, meaning that it replaces a noun in a sentence. Depending on what it replaces and elements it works with, \u00e9l can be a subject or prepositional pronoun. \n\n\n\nAs a subject pronoun, \u00e9l substitutes a male subject: the person or thing that performs the action or is in a certain state. \n\n\n\n\u00c9l est\u00e1 bien. Se mud\u00f3 a Jap\u00f3n. He is fine. He moved to Japan. \n\n\n\nJuan no va a venir. \u00c9l me dijo.Juan is not coming. He told me. \n\n\n\nNatalie prepar\u00f3 la cena y \u00e9l el postre. Natalie cooked dinner and he prepared dessert. \n\n\n\nWhen placed after a preposition, \u00e9l is considered a prepositional pronoun:\n\n\n\nEl juguete es de \u00e9l. The toy is his.\n\n\n\nA \u00e9l no le gustan los perros. He doesn\u2019t like dogs. \n\n\n\nLas galletas no son para ti, son para \u00e9l.The cookies are not for you, they\u2019re for him. \n\n\n\nNote that, unlike el, \u00e9l with an accent doesn\u2019t contract when combined with \u2018a\u2019 and \u2018de\u2019. Also be aware that its translation may vary depending on the structures used. \n\n\n\nTake Note: For the most part, Spanish prepositional pronouns are like subject pronouns. But there are some exceptions that you need to keep in mind. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDOWNLOAD THE LESSON PDF","headline":"El vs \u00c9l: Key Differences in Spanish","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Daniela Sanchez","url":"https:\/\/www.tellmeinspanish.com\/about-me\/"},"datePublished":"2024-05-01","mainEntityOfPage":"False","dateModified":"May 1, 2024","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/www.tellmeinspanish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/El-vs-E\u0301l_-Key-Differences-in-Spanish-300x169.jpg","height":169,"width":300},"publisher":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Organization","name":"Tell Me In Spanish","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/www.tellmeinspanish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/tmis_logo_xs-300x188.png","height":600,"width":60}}} </script> <article class="article-card horizontal "> <a href="https://www.tellmeinspanish.com/vocab/ay-vs-ahi-vs-hay/" rel="nofollow"><div class="image-container" style="background-image: url('https://www.tellmeinspanish.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Ay-Ahí-Hay-How-to-Use-Each-Correctly-300x169.jpg')"></div><span class="sr-only">link to Ay, Ahí, Hay: What’s the Difference</span></a> <div class="copy-container"> <header> <p><a href="https://www.tellmeinspanish.com/vocab/ay-vs-ahi-vs-hay/">Ay, Ahí, Hay: What’s the Difference</a></p> </header> <div class="excerpt"> <p>Ay is an interjection and expresses different emotions, such as surprise, frustration, or pain.

On the other hand, ah\u00ed (there) is an adverb that conveys location as in \u2018est\u00e1 ah\u00ed\u2019. Finally, hay expresses existence or impersonal obligation, and it means \u2018there is\u2019 or \u2018there are\u2019.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAy, Ah\u00ed, Hay: Key Points\n\n\n\nAy, ah\u00ed, and hay are different words with distinct uses and pronunciation.Ah\u00ed in Spanish is an adverb that indicates that someone or something\u2019s located relatively close to the speaker. It means \u2018there\u2019 or \u2018over there\u2019. All\u00ed also means \u2018there\u2019 or \u2018over there\u2019, but expresses a bigger distance from the speaker and listener.Hay is an impersonal form of the verb haber. It expresses existence and it means \u2018there is\u2019 or \u2018there are\u2019. Hay que + infinitive expresses obligation. As in interjection, ay can stand on its own since it only expresses emotions or reactions towards something. \n\n\n\n\nWhen to Use Ah\u00ed in Spanish\n\n\n\nAh\u00ed is an adverb of place in Spanish. As such, it indicates that a person or object is located in a place close to the person we\u2019re speaking to. In this context, ah\u00ed means \u2018there\u2019 or \u2018over there\u2019. \n\n\n\nTus llaves est\u00e1n ah\u00ed en la mesa. Your keys are there on the table.Si quieres, nos vemos ah\u00ed. If you want, we can meet there. \u00bfEse pastel de ah\u00ed es tuyo?Is that cake over there yours?\u00bfViven por el parque? Yo tambi\u00e9n vivo por ah\u00ed. Do you guys live near the park? I also live around there. \n\n\n\nOn top of expressing location, in Spanish, ah\u00ed can also be used as a time expression for the past, being close in meaning to \u2018then\u2019, \u2018in that moment\u2019, or \u2018at that point\u2019. \n\n\n\nFue ah\u00ed cuando Arturo se mud\u00f3 con Claudia. It was then when Arturo moved in with Claudia.\u00bfAh\u00ed ya te hab\u00edas casado o todav\u00eda no?Had you already gotten married by then or not yet?\n\n\n\nTake Note: When pronouncing ah\u00ed, the stress of the pronunciation falls into the letter i. In other words, this is the vowel that must be pronounced more emphatically. \n\n\n\nAh\u00ed or All\u00ed\n\n\n\nAh\u00ed and all\u00ed are both adverbs of place but they have some nuances in meaning. All\u00ed also indicates where things or people are located, but it conveys that their location is far from the speaker and listener. \n\n\n\nLa chava que est\u00e1 all\u00ed es Lorena. The girl that is over there is Lorena.\n\n\n\n\u00bfLe das las flores? S\u00ed, esas de all\u00ed.Can you give her the flowers? Yes, those ones over there. \n\n\n\nEl concierto es en el teatro. \u00bfSabes c\u00f3mo llegar all\u00ed?The concert is in the theater. Do you know how to get there?\n\n\n\nEven though the translation doesn\u2019t reflect it, in Spanish, ah\u00ed conveys less distance than all\u00ed and it also focuses on the speaker\u2019s perspective. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTake Note: Because they convey spatial distance, adverbs such as ah\u00ed and all\u00ed are often paired with Spanish demonstratives to provide additional information. \n\n\n\nWhen & How to Use Hay\n\n\n\nHay in Spanish is the impersonal form of haber, meaning that it only has this conjugation for plural and singular nouns. Hay expresses the existence or presence of something in a certain place. \n\n\n\nHay + [indefinite determiner] + [noun]\n\n\n\nCreo que ah\u00ed hay un rat\u00f3n. I think there is a mouse there. No s\u00e9 cu\u00e1ntas galletas hay. I don\u2019t know how many cookies there are. \u00bfPor qu\u00e9 hay tanta gente en la calle?Why are there so many people on the street?\n\n\n\nUnlike ay and ah\u00ed that don\u2019t change, hay can be conjugated in all Spanish tenses to convey existence over time. \n\n\n\nIn Spanish, hay is also used to express impersonal obligation. To do so, you must use the structure hay que + infinitive.\n\n\n\nHay que + [infinitive verb]\n\n\n\nHay que invitar a Ben.Let\u2019s invite Ben. \u00bfYa no hay leche? Hay que comprar m\u00e1s.There is no more milk? We need to buy more.Si no hay galletas, hay que preparar m\u00e1s. If there are no more cookies, we need to make more. \n\n\n\nTake Note: Impersonal obligation means that you\u2019re not directing the duty to someone in particular, but you\u2019re rather speaking in general. To express obligation for someone specific, you must use the verb tener. This is one of the main differences between haber and tener. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUsing Ay in Spanish\n\n\n\nAs a Spanish exclamatory word, ay is used to react or respond to a statement by conveying emotions such as surprise, frustration, happiness, etc. Depending on the context, ay is close in meaning to \u2018ouch\u2019, \u2018oh\u2019, \u2018oh my\u2019, \u2018damn\u2019, etc. \n\n\n\n\u00a1Ay! Se me olvid\u00f3 la cartera. Damn! I forgot my wallet. \u00a1Ay, \u00e1ndale! Acomp\u00e1\u00f1ame al dentista.Oh, c\u2019mon! Take me to the dentist. \u00a1Ay! Creo que hay un rat\u00f3n ah\u00ed, abajo de la mesa.Oh! I think there\u2019s a mouse there, under the table. \n\n\n\nTake Note: Ay is pronounced exactly the same as hay. A key differentiator between these words is that ay can stand on its own and make sense, whereas hay needs to be followed by nouns in order to make sense.\u00a0\n\n\n\nDownload Lesson's Notes","headline":"Ay, Ah\u00ed, Hay: What\u2019s the Difference","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Daniela Sanchez","url":"https:\/\/www.tellmeinspanish.com\/about-me\/"},"datePublished":"2024-05-01","mainEntityOfPage":"False","dateModified":"May 1, 2024","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/www.tellmeinspanish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Ay-Ahi\u0301-Hay-How-to-Use-Each-Correctly-300x169.jpg","height":169,"width":300},"publisher":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Organization","name":"Tell Me In Spanish","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/www.tellmeinspanish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/tmis_logo_xs-300x188.png","height":600,"width":60}}} </script> <article class="article-card horizontal "> <a href="https://www.tellmeinspanish.com/vocab/verbs-like-gustar-in-spanish/" rel="nofollow"><div class="image-container" style="background-image: url('https://www.tellmeinspanish.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Verbs-Like-Gustar-18-Must-Know-Verbs-Featured-300x169.jpg')"></div><span class="sr-only">link to Verbs Like Gustar in Spanish: Conjugations + Must-Know List</span></a> <div class="copy-container"> <header> <p><a href="https://www.tellmeinspanish.com/vocab/verbs-like-gustar-in-spanish/">Verbs Like Gustar in Spanish: Conjugations + Must-Know List</a></p> </header> <div class="excerpt"> <p>Gustar and verbs like gustar convey the feelings and emotions that the subject provokes on someone or something.

Their key differentiator is that they inverse the sentence order. Unlike most sentences, verbs like gustar in Spanish start with the object and end with the subject. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBecause the subjects of verbs like gustar affect someone, they must use Spanish indirect object pronouns to express who the person experiencing the feeling is. \n\n\n\nList of Verbs Like Gustar\n\n\n\nAburrir: To boreAgradar: To likeApetecer: To feel likeApretar: To be too tightCaer bien: To likeCostar trabajo: To struggleDar asco: To disgust Dar gusto: To gladDar miedo: To scareDar pena: To be embarrassed Dar risa: To make laughDivertir: To amuseDoler: To hurtEncantar: To love \/ To likeFaltar: To missFascinar: To fascinate \/ To loveHartar: To annoyImportar: To care aboutImpresionar: To impressInteresar: To interestMolestar: To bother Ofender: To offendPreocupar: To worryQuedar: To fit \/ To have something left Quedar bien\/mal: To look good\/bad on someone\n\n\n\nThese are some of the most common verbs that behave like gustar, and here are some examples so you can start getting familiar with their conjugation. \n\n\n\nMe fascina conocer gente nueva. I love meeting new people. \n\n\n\nA ti te duelen las rodillas. Your knees hurt. \n\n\n\n\u00bfCrees que a Iv\u00e1n le interese esta pel\u00edcula?Do you think Ivan may be interested in this movie?\n\n\n\nPara ser honesta, no nos apetece hacer nada. To be honest, we don\u2019t feel like doing anything. \n\n\n\nHablar contigo me da much\u00edsimo gusto. Talking to you makes me really happy. \n\n\n\nTake Note: Depending on the Spanish dialect, some of these verbs may work with either indirect or direct object pronouns. This only affects the elements used rather than the meaning of the sentence. For example, \u201cla aburre la pol\u00edtica\u201d or \u201cle aburre la pol\u00edtica\u201d. \n\n\n\nHow to Use & Conjugate Verbs Like Gustar in Spanish\n\n\n\nVerbs like gustar are conjugated like any other Spanish verb \u2013 based on the subject who performs the action. With these verbs, the subject is the activity or things provoking a feeling on someone else. \n\n\n\nCheck these examples: \n\n\n\nMe molesta el ruido. The noise bothers me. \n\n\n\nA Laura le aprietan los zapatos. The shoes are too tight on Laura. \n\n\n\nIn example #1, the verb molestar is conjugated for the third-person singular (\u00e9l\/ella\/usted) because el ruido (the subject) is singular. But, in example #2, the conjugation is plural because los zapatos is a plural subject. \n\n\n\nThese singular and plural conjugations are the most common conjugations for verbs like gustar. Conjugate in singular form when talking about a singular subject (a noun, or a verb in infinitive form): \n\n\n\nEl chico nuevo me cae bien.I like the guy.\n\n\n\nA Kelly le preocupa llegar tarde. Kelly is worried about being late. \n\n\n\nConjugate in plural form when using plural nouns: \n\n\n\nAl ni\u00f1o le costaban trabajo las matem\u00e1ticas. The kid used to struggle with math. \n\n\n\nTengo dos gatitos, \u00bfno te interesan?I have two kitties, are you interested in them? \n\n\n\nVerbs like gustar can be conjugated across different tenses, but they will still maintain the same conjugation rules. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTake Note: Notice that the English sentences look very different from the sentences we form with gustar and verbs like gustar. So, don\u2019t be surprised if the translations don\u2019t seem to match. \n\n\n\nWhat pronouns to use\n\n\n\nOn top of using a reverse order (object, verb, subject), one of the main differentiators of verbs like gustar are the pronouns they work with. With these verbs, indirect object pronouns are used to indicate who is the person experiencing a feeling. \n\n\n\nCheck the following example and notice that the only element that changes are the pronouns, allowing you to describe the feelings of different people:\n\n\n\nNo me interesa la pol\u00edtica, pero a mis hermanos s\u00ed les interesa mucho. \u00bfA ti te interesa?I am not interested in politics, but my siblings are. Are you interested in politics?\n\n\n\nIn addition to indirect object pronouns, the structure a + noun\/prepositional pronoun is used to clarify, emphasize, or introduce the object. \n\n\n\nA + [noun\/prepositional pronoun]\n\n\n\nA Miriam no le cae bien Jonathan. Miriam doesn\u2019t like Jonathan. \n\n\n\n\u00bfA ustedes les apetece tomarse unos d\u00edas?Do you guys feel like taking a few days off?\n\n\n\nA mis hermanos les da asco la sangre.My brothers are disgusted by blood. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTake Note: Caer bien and gustar can be used to say \u201cI like you\u201d in Spanish. Although the translation doesn\u2019t show the difference, there is a significant nuance in meaning. \n\n\n\nGustar and Verbs Like Gustar Key Points\n\n\n\nVerbs like gustar are pivotal for Spanish communication since they allow you to express the feeling something causes on you or another person. Here are some key points to remember:\n\n\n\nVerbs like gustar use an OVS order.

It intensifies the qualities described by an adjective or another adverb. Mucho is the equivalent of \u2018a lot\u2019 or \u2018very much\u2019, and it conveys the intensity or degree of an action. Unlike muy, mucho can also express the amount of something. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKey Points: Muy vs Mucho\n\n\n\nBecause they may share the same translation, muy vs mucho is a topic that confuses many students. Here are some key points to remember: \n\n\n\n\n\nMuy:\n\n\n\nIt\u2019s a Spanish adverb that intensifies the qualities described by an adjective or another adverb.How something is: Es un perro muy bonito.How an action is done: Sandy habla muy r\u00e1pido. It\u2019s placed before an adjective or adverb and doesn\u2019t have plural or feminine forms. Muy means \u2018very\u2019 and cannot be combined with \u2018mucho\u2019. \n\n\n\n\n\nMucho:\n\n\n\nIt relates to quantities. As an adverb, mucho indicates the degree or intensity of an action (como mucho). In this context, it means \u2018a lot\u2019 or \u2018much\u2019 and maintains a single form. When combined with nouns, mucho acts as a determiner to express the quantity of something. As a determiner, it must agree with the noun\u2019s gender and number (mucho, muchos, mucha, muchas). It means \u2018much\u2019, \u2018many\u2019, \u2018a lot\u2019 or \u2018a lot of\u2019. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this article, you\u2019ll learn when to use muy or mucho, and I\u2019ll provide you with real-life examples to show you their applications. \n\n\n\nMuy vs Mucho: What\u2019s the Difference? \n\n\n\nThe key difference between mucho vs muy lies in their usage.\n\n\n\n\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/vzRpdW2sDjw\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/0Z4pKHjeY3Q\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWatch the Spanish Immersion Lesson!At Tell Me In Spanish, I record all my lessons in English and Spanish immersion. Watch the immersion lesson on the differences between muy and mucho in Spanish.\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen to use muy\n\n\n\nIn Spanish, muy is an adverb that intensifies the qualities expressed by an adjective or another adverb. In other words, it highlights how something or someone is, or how an action is done. \n\n\n\nCheck these examples and see the characteristics that muy is emphasizing: \n\n\n\n[Subject] + [verb conjugated] + muy + [adjective\/adverb]\n\n\n\nEl internet est\u00e1 muy lento. The internet is very slow. \n\n\n\nVanessa e Ivonne son muy altas. Vanessa and Ivonne are very tall.\n\n\n\nMis hermanos comen muy r\u00e1pido. My brothers eat very fast.\n\n\n\nPierre habla espa\u00f1ol muy bien. Pierre speaks Spanish very well.\n\n\n\nTen cuidado, la sopa est\u00e1 muy caliente. Be careful, the soap is very hot. \n\n\n\nTake Note: Muy is a Spanish adverb, and as such, it doesn't work with nouns\u2014only with adjectives or other adverbs. As a result, it maintains a single form and does not change based on gender or number. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen to use mucho in Spanish\n\n\n\nMucho is a word that relates to quantities. As an adverb, it expresses the degree or intensity of an action: \n\n\n\n[Verb conjugated] + mucho\n\n\n\nLa quiero mucho.  I love her very much. \n\n\n\n\u00bfEsa c\u00e1mara te cost\u00f3 mucho? Did that camera cost you much?\n\n\n\n\u00a1Tu hermano come mucho y muy r\u00e1pido! Your brother eats a lot and very fast!\n\n\n\nWhen working with nouns, mucho acts as a Spanish determiner, indicating the quantity of something. Because it\u2019s providing information about nouns, in this context, mucho has feminine and plural forms. \n\n\n\n[Verb conjugated] + [mucho*] + [noun]\n\n\n\nNo tengo mucho tiempo. I don\u2019t have much time. \n\n\n\nCompr\u00e9 muchos paquetes de galletas. I bought many packages of cookies.\n\n\n\nSusana tiene muchas camisas rosas. Susana has many pink shirts. \n\n\n\nHablar en p\u00fablico me da mucha verg\u00fcenza. Speaking in public makes me very embarrassed. \n\n\n\nCheck the last example. Notice that in Spanish we use the word mucha because we\u2019re measuring a feminine noun (verg\u00fcenza). However, in English, we use \u2018very\u2019 to emphasize an adjective (embarrassed). \n\n\n\nThis distinction is particularly common when using the verb dar to express emotions. \n\n\n\nTake Note: In Spanish, using \u2018muy mucho\u2019 is incorrect because muy is used to intensify qualities, not quantities.To express very much, you can simply say \u2018mucho\u2019 or use the superlative form much\u00edsimo. \n\n\n\nTe amo much\u00edsimo. I love you very much.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo put these words into practice, you can take this muy vs mucho quiz.

Son, in this article, you\u2019ll learn the differences and uses of these verbs. \n\n\n\nTener vs Haber: What\u2019s the Difference?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn Spanish, tener is used to express possession and obligations when it translates to \u2018to have\u2019. Haber conveys existence, impersonal obligation, and it\u2019s mainly used as an auxiliary verb. So, depending on the context, can be translated as \u2018to have\u2019 or \u2018there is\/there are\u2019. \n\n\n\nHay mucha comida en la mesa.There\u2019s a lot of food on the table.\n\n\n\n\u00bfHan visto a Sophie? Hay que invitarla a la fiesta. Have you seen Sophie? Let\u2019s invite her to the party. \n\n\n\nNo tenemos mucha comida, tenemos que comprar m\u00e1s. We don\u2019t have much food. We have to buy more. \n\n\n\nTo help you further understand the haber vs tener dilemma, in the following sections, we\u2019ll discuss the applications of each verb and I\u2019ll provide you with more examples. \n\n\n\nWhen to Use Haber in Spanish?\n\n\n\nThere are three main ways to use the verb haber in Spanish:\n\n\n\nExpress existenceTo talk about necessities or dutiesAs an auxiliary verb\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nExpressing existence with haber\n\n\n\nIn Spanish, haber expresses the existence or presence of something in a place, regardless of whether that thing is plural or singular. To indicate this meaning, we must use the impersonal form hay. \n\n\n\nHere are some examples: \n\n\n\nHay + [quantifier] + [noun]\n\n\n\nHoy no hay tanto tr\u00e1fico. Today, there\u2019s not a lot of traffic. \n\n\n\n\u00bfSabes si hay m\u00e1s leche?Do you know if there is more milk?\n\n\n\nEn el centro, hay muchos museos y tiendas. There are many museums and stores downtown. \n\n\n\nHay is in the present indicative form, which means that you must change it to refer to different tenses.  \n\n\n\nFui al s\u00faper, pero no hab\u00eda leche. \n\n\n\nI went to the grocery store, but there was no milk. \n\n\n\nHaber as an auxiliary verb\n\n\n\nOne of the primary uses of haber is to form compound tenses, such as the present and past perfect. To conjugate these tenses, you must conjugate haber to match the tense you\u2019re using and the past participle of the main verb: \n\n\n\n[Haber conjugated] + [past participle]\n\n\n\n\u00bfYa hab\u00edas visto esa pel\u00edcula?Have you already seen that movie? \n\n\n\nCarlos no ha terminado su tarea. Carlos hasn\u2019t finished his homework yet. \n\n\n\nTania y yo hemos ido a M\u00e9xico varias veces.Tania and I have gone to Mexico many times.\n\n\n\nExpress impersonal obligation\n\n\n\nOn top of expressing existence, the impersonal form hay is also used to express necessities or duties. This is known as impersonal obligations because we don\u2019t conjugate to address someone in particular: \n\n\n\nHay que + [infinitive verb]\n\n\n\nHay que comprar los boletos ma\u00f1ana.We need to buy the tickets tomorrow. \n\n\n\nOigan, hay que decirle a Claudia de la fiesta.Hey, we need to tell Claudia about the party.\n\n\n\n\u00bfQu\u00e9 vas a hacer ma\u00f1ana? Hay que ver una pel\u00edcula.What are you going to do tomorrow? We should watch a movie.\n\n\n\nWhen to Use Tener\n\n\n\nEven though, it can also be translated as \u2018to have\u2019, with this meaning, the verb tener is used to: \n\n\n\nExpress obligationIndicate possession\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nExpressing possession\n\n\n\nWhen expressing possession, it\u2019s common to use quantifiers or numbers to express the amount of your or someone else\u2019s belongings: \n\n\n\nTengo dos boletos para ir a Colombia.I have two tickets to go to Colombia.\n\n\n\nMariana tiene un perro y tres gatos.Mariana has one dog and three cats. \n\n\n\n\u00bfTienes un borrador que me prestes?Do you have an eraser that I can borrow?\n\n\n\nTake Note: Tener is used to say someone\u2019s age and also to form key idiomatic expressions. \n\n\n\nUsing \u2018tener\u2019 to express obligation\n\n\n\nSimilar to haber, tener is also used to express obligation. However, tener must be conjugated and express who is the person responsible for fulfilling that duty: \n\n\n\nTener que + [infinitive verb] \n\n\n\n\u00bfCu\u00e1ndo tenemos que entregar el proyecto?When do we have to deliver the project? \n\n\n\nYo tengo que hablar m\u00e1s espa\u00f1ol con mis amigos.I have to speak more Spanish with my friends.\n\n\n\nMauricio tiene que pagar su boleto o no podr\u00e1 viajar.Mauricio has to pay his ticket or else he won\u2019t be able to travel. \n\n\n\nA main distinction in the haber vs tener topic is conveying obligation. Remember that duties we express with hay que are not directed to someone specific, whereas with tener we must conjugate to indicate who is obligated to fulfill the task: \n\n\n\nHay que estudiar m\u00e1s. We must study more. \n\n\n\nTengo que estudiar m\u00e1s. I have to study more. \n\n\n\nTake Note: Keep in mind that the verb tener in Spanish has other applications that are not translated as \u2018to have\u2019. \n\n\n\nHaber vs Tener Key Points \n\n\n\nBecause they can share the same translation, the verbs haber and tener can be easily confused. Here are some key differences you need to keep in mind: \n\n\n\nHaber is used as an auxiliary verb to form compound tenses (no he ido). Its impersonal form hay expresses the existence of something. In this context, haber means \u2018there is\u2019 or \u2018there are\u2019. Hay also conveys impersonal obligation. In other words, it indicates duties without addressing someone in particular. As the direct translation of \u2018to have\u2019, tener expresses possession. Tener also conveys obligation, but unlike haber, it does indicate who must fulfill a task.\n\n\n\nRemember, tener has additional applications. That said, now you should be able to see the difference between haber and tener. \u00a1Buena suerte!\n\n\n\nDOWNLOAD LESSON PDF\n\n\n\nWatch the Haber vs Tener Video Lesson\n\n\n\n\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/-IIbF7mxTD8\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/t7PkrdQPcSw\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWatch the Spanish Immersion Lesson!Haber and Tener both mean 'to have' in Spanish, but are often confused and can be difficult for beginners to understand.

Conversely, gustan is used for plural nouns, for example, as in nos gustan los libros de terror.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBeyond this distinction, there are additional rules for using gustar in Spanish that make this verb challenging for both beginner and advanced learners. In the following sections, you\u2019ll learn to master this verb.\n\n\n\nHow to Use Gustar in Spanish \/ How Does Gustar Work in Spanish\n\n\n\nIn Spanish, gustar expresses that an activity or thing causes feelings of liking or disliking in a person. As a result, this activity or thing becomes the subject of the sentence, and gustar is conjugated based on it.\u00a0\n\n\n\nNo me gustan las manzanas.\u00a0I don\u2019t like apples.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\u00bfTe gusta el caf\u00e9?Do you like coffee?\n\n\n\nUse these examples to understand the gusta vs gustan distinction. \n\n\n\nIn example #1, las manzanas causes a feeling of liking. As a plural subject, it needs a plural conjugation. In contrast, example #2 features a singular subject, 'el caf\u00e9' (the coffee), so the conjugation is singular \n\n\n\nSentences with gustar arrange their elements a bit differently (OVS): the subject of the sentence comes after the verb, rather than before, unlike the usual order.\u00a0\n\n\n\nYou can visually see this distinction in this graphic:\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBut notice that, despite their inverse order, \u201cnormal verbs\u201d and verbs like gustar are both conjugated based on the subject. \n\n\n\nTake Note: Grammatically, these are the rules for using gustar. Yet, native speakers might also say \u2018.las manzanas me gustan\u2019. As a Spanish teacher and native speaker, I recommend getting familiar with both structures.\n\n\n\nWatch the Lesson\n\n\n\n\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=InCegc1kal4\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/DqEJh9QkhfE\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWatch the Spanish Immersion Lesson!You can also watch the immersion video to learn how to conjugate and use gustar while practicing your listening comprehension skills.\n\n\n\n\n\nGusta vs Gustan: The Different Forms of Gustar\n\n\n\nWhen discussing likes and dislikes, the most common forms of gustar we use are singular and plural (gusta vs gustan). These conjugations differ based on the number of things or activities being discussed. \n\n\n\nUse the singular form gusta for one activity or thing. This conjugation works with an infinitive verb or a singular noun. \n\n\n\n[Indirect object pronoun] + gusta + (determiner) + \u00a0[noun\/infinitive verb]\n\n\n\nNo me gusta el chocolate blanco.\u00a0I don\u2019t like white chocolate.\u00a0\n\n\n\nA Juan le gustaba tu hermana.\u00a0Juan liked your sister.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\u00bfQu\u00e9 te gusta hacer? A nosotros nos gusta viajar.What do you like to do? We like to travel.\n\n\n\nNotice that when the subject is a noun, we must use Spanish determiners, such as definite articles or possessive adjectives. \n\n\n\nGustan, the plural form, is used to refer to multiple things:\u00a0\n\n\n\n[Indirect object pronoun] + gustan + [plural det.] + [plural noun]\n\n\n\nA Juan le gustaron las galletas de chocolate.Juan liked the chocolate cookies.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\u00bfCrees que a Jessica le gusten estas flores?Do you think Jessica would like these flowers?\n\n\n\nAs you can see in the examples above, the rules for using gustar apply consistently across all Spanish tenses. \n\n\n\nTake Note: Saying me gustas or t\u00fa me gustas (I like you) isn\u2019t incorrect, as gustar is correctly conjugated for the subject (you). However, this phrase implies physical or romantic attraction. Use me caes bien or me agradas to express non-romantic appreciation.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\n\nGustar pronouns\n\n\n\nSpanish indirect object pronouns,used with gustar, are:\n\n\n\nMe Te NosLeNosOsLes\n\n\n\nThey indicate who is the person experiencing the feeling of liking or disliking something.\u00a0\n\n\n\nAs the indirect object of the sentence, they do not influence the verb conjugation, but they cannot be omitted:\u00a0\n\n\n\nMe gusta la comida china.\u00a0I like Chinese food.\u00a0\n\n\n\nNos gusta la comida china.We like Chinese food.\u00a0\n\n\n\nPrepositional pronouns and a + noun also work with gustar. These elements clarify, emphasize, or introduce the person experiencing the feeling:\n\n\n\nA m\u00ed no me gusta el t\u00e9.\u00a0I don\u2019t like coffee.\u00a0\n\n\n\nA Molly y Tim les gustan los gatos.\u00a0Molly and Tim like cats.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTake Note: There are many verbs like gustar that follow these patterns and are essential for communication. \n\n\n\nKey Points: Gusta vs Gustan\n\n\n\nGusta vs gustan is a challenging topic because these constructions work differently from English. Here are some key points to keep in mind:\n\n\n\nGusta is for single activities or things.

These Spanish subjunctive triggers are essential and useful for identifying when you need to use the subjunctive mood. So, in this guide, I\u2019ve compiled a list of common verbs and phrases you should know.\u00a0\n\n\n\nHere is a summary of what you\u2019ll find in this guide:\n\n\n\nVerbs that Trigger the Subjunctive in SpanishWords and Subjunctive PhrasesWords that trigger the subjunctiveKey PointsRelated ResourcesDownloadable PDF\n\n\n\nI\u2019ve also made sure to include simple examples using this vocabulary so you can check how to apply each one of these subjunctive triggers. \n\n\n\nLet\u2019s do this! \n\n\n\nVerbs that Trigger Subjunctive in Spanish\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBecause of its applications, the verbs that trigger the subjunctive are Spanish verbs that express hopes, desires, emotions, requests, recommendations, and uncertainty. \n\n\n\nThe most common verb triggers for the subjunctive are: \n\n\n\nAconsejar que: To advise thatAlegrar que*: To be glad that Dar gusto que*: To be glad thatDar miedo que*: To be afraid of\/that Decir que: To say thatDesear que: To wish thatDudar que: To doubt thatEncantar que*: To love thatEsperar que: To hope that Gustar que*: To like thatInteresar que*: To be interested inMolestar que:  It bothersNecesitar que: To need thatNo creer que: To not think thatPedir que: To ask thatPermitir que: To allow thatPreocupar que*: To worry that \/ To be worried Prohibir que: To forbid thatQuerer que: To want thatRecomendar que: To recommend thatSentir que: To feel thatSorprender que*: It surprisesSugerir que: To suggest that\n\n\n\nThe terms followed by an asterisk (*) are verbs of emotions and require Spanish indirect object pronouns to mention who is the person experiencing that feeling. \n\n\n\nNotice that verbs that trigger the subjunctive are followed by the word que, term that introduces the clause in subjunctive form. Here are some examples: \n\n\n\n[Verb trigger] + que + [verb in subjunctive]\n\n\n\nLes sugiero que hablen con la directora. I suggest you speak with the director. \n\n\n\nMe preocupa que Chris se vaya a lastimar. I am worried that Chris is going to hurt himself.  \n\n\n\nDice Paola que dejes de preguntar por ella. Paola says you stop asking for her. \n\n\n\nMauricio nos pidi\u00f3 que no dij\u00e9ramos nada. Mauricio asked us not to say anything.\n\n\n\nTe molesta que yo tome tu celular sin permiso. It bothers you that I take your phone without permission. \n\n\n\nTake Note: Verbs that trigger the subjunctive in Spanish are used in sentences with two subjects and verbs. \n\n\n\nSpanish Subjunctive Phrases & Words\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn addition to the list of verbs above, certain Spanish impersonal expressions are also subjunctive triggers. Most of these phrases are formed with es + adjective. \n\n\n\nHere are some of the most common phrases that trigger the subjunctive in Spanish:\n\n\n\nEs absurdo que: It's absurd thatEs bueno que: It\u2019s good thatEs dif\u00edcil que: It\u2019s difficult that Es extra\u00f1o que: It\u2019s strange thatEs fant\u00e1stico que: It\u2019s fantastic thatEs horrible que: It\u2019s horrible thatEs importante que: It\u2019s important thatEs imposible que: It\u2019s impossible thatEs imprescindible que: It\u2019s essential thatEs incre\u00edble que: It\u2019s incredible thatEs interesante que: It\u2019s interesting thatEs l\u00f3gico que: It\u2019s logical thatEs malo que: It\u2019s bad thatEs mejor que: It\u2019s better thatEs natural que: It\u2019s natural thatEs necesario que: It\u2019s necessary thatEs normal que: It\u2019s normal thatEs preferible que: It\u2019s better thatEs probable que: It\u2019s probable thatEs rid\u00edculo que: It\u2019s ridiculous that Es suficiente que: It's enough thatEs terrible que: It\u2019s terrible thatEs una l\u00e1stima que: It\u2019s a shame thatEs urgente que: It\u2019s urgent thatPuede que: It\u2019s possible that \/ It might \n\n\n\nThese expressions can be used in negative form and you can also conjugate them in different tenses. Here are some examples using these expressions: \n\n\n\nEs probable que mis amigas no vengan. It\u2019s likely that my friends aren\u2019t coming. \n\n\n\nTranquila, es normal que te sientas triste.Easy. It\u2019s normal that you feel sad. \n\n\n\nNo es necesario que traiga su identificaci\u00f3n. It\u2019s not necessary for you to bring your ID. \n\n\n\nNi\u00f1os, es importante que me digan que pas\u00f3. Kids, it\u2019s important that you tell me what happened. \n\n\n\nTake Note: There are some impersonal expressions that are used with the Spanish indicative mood. But notice that those phrases express certainty and truth (es obvio, es cierto, es verdad). \n\n\n\nWords that trigger the subjunctive\n\n\n\nSpanish adverbs and conjunctions that convey probability, uncertainty, hope, or refer to hypothetical scenarios are also triggers for the Spanish subjunctive mood. \n\n\n\nA fin de que: So thatA no ser que: UnlessA pesar de que: AlthoughAunque: Even thoughComo si: As ifCon la condici\u00f3n de que: On the condition thatCon tal de que: As long asCuando: WhenDe ah\u00ed que: Hence \/ ThereforeDespu\u00e9s de que: AfterEn caso de que: In caseEn cuanto: As soon asHasta que: UntilPara que: So thatPosiblemente: Possibly \/ Perhaps Probablemente: Probably \/ Likely Sin que: WithoutQuiz\u00e1: Perhaps \/ MaybeTan pronto como: As soon asTanto como: As much as Tal vez: MaybeOjal\u00e1: I hope \/ Hopefully \n\n\n\nHere are some sentences using some of these subjunctive triggers: \n\n\n\n[Conjugated verb] + [trigger] + [verb in subjunctive] \n\n\n\nH\u00e1blame cuando llegues. Call me when you get there. \n\n\n\nNos vamos en cuanto deje de llover. We\u2019re leaving as soon as it stops raining. \n\n\n\nTe voy a esperar hasta que termines. I\u2019m going to wait for you until you finish. \n\n\n\nTal vez ma\u00f1ana no vaya a trabajar. Maybe I won\u2019t go to work. \n\n\n\n\u00bfPodemos hablar cuando tengas tiempo?\n\n\n\nCan we talk when you have time?\n\n\n\nTake Note: The word cuando can also be used with indicative tenses. However, those sentences refer to habitual actions or events that have already happened. Cuando + subjunctive is a time marker for future and hypothetical events that have not occurred yet, and we\u2019re not completely sure they will happen. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKey Points\n\n\n\nMany verbs and phrases set off the subjunctive mood in Spanish. Here are some important points you need to know:\u00a0\n\n\n\nVerbs, words, and phrases that convey doubt, desires, hopes, demands, suggestions, uncertainty, and probability are subjunctive triggers. Examples of common verbs that trigger the Spanish subjunctive are esperar, querer, pedir, and aconsejar. Spanish verbs of emotion express the feelings someone\u2019s actions or behavior causes in a person. Verb triggers for the subjunctive are used in sentences with two subjects and two verbs. Many expressions with es + adjective are examples of impersonal phrases with subjunctive. Impersonal phrases that imply certainty or factual information are used with the indicative mood. \n\n\n\nSpanish Subjunctive Related Resources\n\n\n\nEven though knowing common Spanish subjunctive triggers can signal that a sentence requires the subjunctive, you should still learn how and when to use this mood. Also, make sure you review indirect object pronouns since many verbs of emotion use these pronouns.\u00a0\n\n\n\nAs a tip, you should remember that the word ojal\u00e1 is one of the most well-known subjunctive triggers. \n\n\n\nDownload the Subjunctive Triggers Spanish PDF\n\n\n\nAs you\u2019ve seen, there are many verbs, phrases, expressions, and words that trigger the subjunctive mood in Spanish.

These are some of the things the imperfect subjunctive Spanish tense allows you to convey. \n\n\n\nIn this guide, you\u2019ll find all the key information to form and use this subjunctive tense. Here is an overview of what we\u2019ll cover: \n\n\n\nHow to Conjugate the Spanish Imperfect SubjunctiveIrregular verbsWhen to use the Past SubjunctiveKey PointsWhat to Do Next? Practice QuizDownloadable PDF\n\n\n\nThe past subjunctive may seem intimidating. But, as you\u2019re about to see, you will leverage some Spanish topics you already know. So, let\u2019s get started!\n\n\n\nTake Note: Just like you study the present indicative before learning any of the past tenses in Spanish, you must have a good understanding of the present subjunctive before diving into the Spanish imperfect subjunctive tense. \n\n\n\nHow to Form the Spanish Imperfect Subjunctive\n\n\n\nThe conjugations of the imperfect subjunctive, also known as the Spanish past subjunctive, are derived from the third-person plural preterite forms (ellos, ellas, ustedes). \n\n\n\nThese are steps to conjugate the imperfect subjunctive in Spanish: \n\n\n\nTake the third-person plural preterite form of the verb you want to conjugate. Remove the ending \u2018-ron\u2019.  Add the appropriate past subjunctive ending. \n\n\n\nSince the imperfect subjunctive is derived from the 3rd person plural preterite form, any irregularities or stem changes in the Spanish preterite tense will also exist in the past subjunctive conjugation. Simply put, an irregular or stem-changing verb in the past preterite will maintain the same irregularities and stem changes in the Spanish imperfect subjunctive. \n\n\n\nHere is a conjugation chart with the imperfect subjunctive endings, which are used for all verbs:\n\n\n\n\nPersonPast subjunctive endingsYo-ra \/-seT\u00fa-ras \/-ses\u00c9l \/ Ella Usted-ra \/-seNosotros-ramos \/-semosVosotros-rais \/-seisEllos \/ EllasUstedes- ran \/-sen\n\n\n\n\nThe Spanish past subjunctive has two endings (-ra and -se). Although they\u2019re interchangeable, -ra endings are used in Latin American Spanish, whereas -se endings are more common in Spain (Castilian). \n\n\n\nAdditionally, all the conjugations for the pronoun \u2018nosotros\u2019 in the imperfect subjunctive must include an accent mark on the vowel that precedes the imperfect subjunctive ending. \n\n\n\nNow that you understand the theory, let\u2019s put it into practice. Take the verbs pagar, tener and vestirse as examples: \n\n\n\n\n#1 Start with the 3rd person plural preterite form#2 Remove -ron#3 Add the past subjunctive ending(Ellos) pagaronpagaYo pagara(Ellos) tuvierontuvieT\u00fa tuvieras(Ellos) se vistieronvistieNosotros nos visti\u00e9ramos\n\n\n\n\nTake Note: Don\u2019t forget to choose the appropriate reflexive pronoun when working with reflexive verbs. Remember that these rules are also applied to all Spanish pronominal verbs. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImperfect subjunctive irregular verbs\n\n\n\nAs mentioned above, the conjugation of the imperfect subjunctive in Spanish is heavily based on the pret\u00e9rito. Therefore, the irregular verbs in the past subjunctive are the same irregular verbs found in the past preterite. \n\n\n\nHere is a quick reminder of these verbs: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRemember, you must replace the past indicative ending with the past subjunctive ending. \n\n\n\nCheck these sentences: \n\n\n\nTe ped\u00ed que fueras a la tienda. I asked you to go to the store. \n\n\n\nNo quisi\u00e9ramos molestarla. We don\u2019t want to bother you. \n\n\n\nSi tuviera m\u00e1s tiempo, aprender\u00eda a cocinar. If I had more time, I would learn to cook. \n\n\n\nWhen to Use the Imperfect Subjunctive Spanish Tense\n\n\n\nIn Spanish, the imperfect subjunctive tense is used to: \n\n\n\nMake polite requestsRefer to past advice, wishes, doubts, and demandsTalk about situations unlikely to happen in the present \n\n\n\nLet\u2019s check each one of these applications. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nExpress politeness \n\n\n\nThe Spanish past subjunctive is often used to politely and formally request something. In this context, the verbs querer and poder are frequently used. \n\n\n\nQuisiera pedirle un favor. I would like to ask you for a favor. \n\n\n\nBen, \u00bfquisieras ir conmigo al baile?Ben, would you like to go to the ball with me?\n\n\n\n\u00bfPudieran quedarse quietos un momento?Could you stay still for a minute? \n\n\n\nTake Note: The conditional simple can also be used to express politeness in Spanish. In this context, both the past subjunctive and conditional are translated into English as \u2018would\u2019. \n\n\n\nTalk about past demands, hopes, doubts, and advice\n\n\n\nThe Spanish past subjunctive allows you to express past wishes, emotions, requests, suggestions, and uncertainty you had about something. Here are some sentences: \n\n\n\n[Verb in past] + que + [past subjunctive]\n\n\n\nNo cre\u00eda que fueras a venir. I didn\u2019t think you were going to come. \n\n\n\nLes ped\u00ed que tuvieran cuidado. I asked you to be careful. \n\n\n\nNo sab\u00eda que hablaras dos idiomas. I didn\u2019t know you spoke two languages. \n\n\n\nTim y Luke esperaban que pudi\u00e9ramos ayudarlos. Tim and Luke hoped that we could help them. \n\n\n\nNotice that verbs that express wishes, doubts, and emotions (subjunctive triggers) are conjugated in a past indicative tense, either the preterite or imperfect. The reason for this is that the trigger refers to a previous action or moment in time, and the subjunctive mood reflects that by using its past form. \n\n\n\nTake Note: As a quick reminder, subjunctive triggers are phrases and verbs that express hope, uncertainty, requests, and feelings. Examples of these triggers are esperar que, pedir que, ojal\u00e1, no creer que, decir que, etc.\u00a0\n\n\n\nExpress conditions and situations unlikely to happen\n\n\n\nThe imperfect subjunctive in Spanish is combined with si clauses to express conditions and hypothetical results that are unlikely to happen in the present. Here is how you form this meaning: \n\n\n\nSi + [imperfect subjunctive] + [conditional simple]\n\n\n\nSi fueras un animal, \u00bfque ser\u00edas?If you were an animal, what would you be?\n\n\n\nTodo ser\u00eda diferente si pudiera hablar con ella. Everything would be different if I could speak with her. \n\n\n\nSi supi\u00e9ramos la respuesta, no necesitar\u00edamos tu ayuda. If we knew the answer, we wouldn\u2019t be asking for your help. \n\n\n\nLike in English, in Spanish, the order of si clauses can be modified. Notice that all of these examples refer to things that are improbable. As a result, the past subjunctive form is closely related to fantasizing about how things would be.  \n\n\n\nSince some wishes have a remote possibility of happening, you can also use the past subjunctive to talk about them: \n\n\n\nOjal\u00e1 no hiciera tanto color. We wish it wasn\u2019t so hot. \n\n\n\nQuisiera ser millonaria. I would like to be a millionaire. \n\n\n\nGiven that these wishes are not tied to a condition, you don\u2019t need to use a si clause. \n\n\n\nKey Points\n\n\n\nAs you\u2019ve learned, the past subjunctive in Spanish is essential for more advanced and rich conversations. Here is a summary of this tense: \n\n\n\nThe Spanish imperfect subjunctive conjugations use the stem from the third-person plural form of the preterite tense. To form this tense, you must replace the past indicative termination -ron with the corresponding imperfect subjunctive conjugation. Irregular verbs in the past preterite are also irregular in this subjunctive tense. In Spanish, the imperfect subjunctive tense refers to past doubts, wishes, advice, and suggestions someone had. It also expresses conditions and wishes that are unlikely to happen. \n\n\n\nSpanish Past Subjunctive Additional Resources\n\n\n\nTo fully understand and master the past subjunctive in Spanish, you should know the preterite conjugations like the back of your hand. Also, knowing what the subjunctive mood is used for can help you better understand the applications of this past form.\u00a0\n\n\n\nPractice Quiz: Past Subjunctive \n\n\n\nYou can take our imperfect subjunctive Spanish practice quiz to test your understanding of this tense.\n\n\n\nDownload the Imperfect Subjunctive Spanish Guide PDF\n\n\n\nSpanish tenses in the subjunctive mood are some of the most difficult for English speakers to learn and can take time to master.

In simple words, they express how people feel or think about the information they deliver. The subjunctive and indicative are two of the three verb moods in Spanish. \n\n\n\nThe main difference between the indicative and subjunctive is the type of perception or attitude they convey. \n\n\n\nLet me break this down for you. \n\n\n\nThe indicative mood in Spanish is used when the speaker presents information as a fact. Simply put, the indicative expresses certainty and talks about things believed to be true. So, in short, this mood relates to reality. \n\n\n\nOn the contrary, the Spanish subjunctive communicates uncertainty, wishes, possibilities, emotions, suggestions, and demands. In summary, the subjunctive relates to hypothetical situations and subjectivity. \n\n\n\nHere are some examples using the same verbs (ser, ir, and tener) in indicative and subjunctive forms: \n\n\n\n\nIndicativeSubjunctiveTuve un d\u00eda excelente. I had an excellent day. Espero que tengas un excelente d\u00eda. I hope you have an excellent day. Ella es la hermana de Diego. That is Diego\u2019s sister. \u00bfCrees que ella sea la hermana de Diego?Do you think that is Diego's sister?Ma\u00f1ana vamos al dentista.Tomorrow, we will go to the dentist. Quiero que vayamos al dentista ma\u00f1ana. I want us to go to the dentist tomorrow. \n\n\n\n\nIf you pay close attention, you'll realize that each mood's message is different. Take pair #3 as an example. \n\n\n\nThe sentence in indicative form indicates with certainty my plans for tomorrow. This is a concrete plan that will happen in the future. On the flip side, its subjunctive counterpart states my wishes. \n\n\n\nAnd this is key. \n\n\n\nBecause no matter how much I want us to go to the dentist, it doesn't mean this action will necessarily happen. You may not want to go, or he may not be available. This is just a hope, which means the actual action is still unreal.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSubjunctive vs Indicative Spanish Endings\n\n\n\nWhen it comes to the indicative vs subjunctive Spanish moods, they also have different tenses and distinctive conjugations. These tenses allow us to convey the time when the action happens or when the speaker has a wish, doubt, etc. \n\n\n\nHere is a breakdown of the Spanish tenses for these moods.\n\n\n\nIndicative tenses\n\n\n\nPresentPast preteritePast imperfect Future simple Conditional \n\n\n\nIn addition to the simple tenses, the indicative also has progressive and compound forms, such as the pluperfect and the present progressive.\n\n\n\nSubjunctive tenses\n\n\n\nPresent subjunctivePresent perfect subjunctiveImperfect subjunctivePast perfect subjunctive\n\n\n\nAs established before, the conjugation endings you use for the indicative are different from those we need to form the Spanish subjunctive. \n\n\n\nHere is a conjugation chart with the endings for -AR verbs comparing the present and past tenses for the subjunctive and indicative. \n\n\n\n\nPersonPresent Indicative Present SubjunctivePreterite IndicativePast SubjunctiveYoHabloHableHabl\u00e9HablaraT\u00faHablasHablesHablasteHablaras\u00c9l \/ Ella UstedHablaHableHabl\u00f3HablaraNosotrosHablamosHablemosHablamosHabl\u00e1ramosVosotrosHabl\u00e1isHabl\u00e9isHablasteis HablaraisEllos \/ EllasUstedesHablanHablenHablaronHablaran\n\n\n\n\nThe subjunctive conjugations are easier than you think since they\u2019re heavily based on their indicative equivalent. In other words, to form the Spanish present subjunctive, you\u2019ll rely on the present indicative, and the past subjunctive conjugation is based on the preterite forms.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\n\nTake Note: Don\u2019t confuse moods with Spanish tenses. A tense refers to the time when something happens, whereas moods express how the speaker perceives the information. As a result, a mood can be conjugated in different tenses. \n\n\n\nBonus: Indicative vs Subjunctive vs Infinitive Verbs in Spanish\n\n\n\nNow that you understand how these verb moods work, you should also check when to use Spanish infinitives instead of a verb in the subjunctive mood. \n\n\n\nIn Spanish, most subjunctive sentences have two subjects and two verbs. For example: \n\n\n\nYo quiero que t\u00fa hables con ella. I want you to speak with her.\n\n\n\nThese types of sentences allow you to express what the speaker wants, doubts, recommends, or demands from another person. However, you must use an infinitive verb if that hope, uncertainty, or suggestions circles back to the same subject: \n\n\n\nYo quiero hablar con ella. I want to speak with her. \n\n\n\nSpanish infinitive verbs can also be used after a conjugated indicative verb: \n\n\n\nVine a ver c\u00f3mo est\u00e1s. I came to see how you\u2019re doing. \n\n\n\nKey Points\n\n\n\nThe subjunctive and the indicative are essential Spanish moods. Knowing how and when to use them can help you express your ideas more clearly. Here are some important key points to keep in mind. \n\n\n\nSpanish moods convey how the speaker feels or sees the information.\u00a0The indicative mood in Spanish refers to information perceived as real. As a result, it conveys certainty.\u00a0Use the Spanish indicative to describe your habits, memories, plans, and people.The Spanish subjunctive mood is used to express demands, advice, wishes, emotions, and doubts about the action someone else does.\u00a0Spanish moods can be conjugated in different tenses to explain when an action took place.\u00a0The main indicative tenses are present, preterite, imperfect, future, and conditional.\u00a0On the other hand, the subjunctive tenses are present, present perfect, imperfect, and past perfect.\u00a0The difference between the indicative and the subjunctive in Spanish is whether the speaker refers to real actions or not.\u00a0\n\n\n\nSubjunctive vs Indicative Additional Spanish Resources\n\n\n\nThe Spanish imperative is the third mood and we use it to give commands. You need to understand how it works and how to form it to understand verb moods fully. Also, take the time to study the subjunctive and indicative moods and their different tenses. \n\n\n\nKnowing some common Spanish subjunctive triggers is a simple way to train yourself to identify situations requiring subjunctive.

So, in this guide, you\u2019ll find the top words, verbs, questions, and expressions you need to know to get on with ease in this context. \n\n\n\nHere is an overview of what we\u2019ll cover: \n\n\n\nHow to Ask for Directions in SpanishVocab for Giving DirectionsVerbsUseful wordsNouns for the city Key PointsDive DeeperDownloadable PDF\n\n\n\nLet\u2019s do this! \n\n\n\nHow to Ask for Directions in Spanish\n\n\n\nThe most common questions to ask for directions in Spanish are: \n\n\n\n\u00bfD\u00f3nde est\u00e1\u2026? - Where is the\u2026?\u00bfDonde se encuentra\u2026? - Where is the\u2026located?\u00bfHay alg\u00fan\u2026?* - Is there a\u2026?\u00bfHay alguna\u2026? - Is there a\u2026?\u00bfC\u00f3mo puedo llegar a\u2026? - How can I get to\u2026?\u00bfC\u00f3mo llego a\u2026? - How do I get to the\u2026?\u00bfPor d\u00f3nde est\u00e1\u2026? Which way is the\u2026?Estoy buscando\u2026 - I\u2019m looking for\u2026\n\n\n\nLike in English, you must complete these Spanish expressions by adding the name of the place to which you want to go. \n\n\n\n[Direction expression] + [article] + [place]\n\n\n\n\u00bfD\u00f3nde est\u00e1 el museo?Where is the museum?\n\n\n\n\u00bfPor d\u00f3nde est\u00e1 el parque?Which way is the park?\n\n\n\n\u00bfC\u00f3mo llego a la estaci\u00f3n de tren?How do I get to the train station?\n\n\n\n\u00bfHay alguna farmacia por aqu\u00ed?Is there a pharmacy around here?\n\n\n\nThe Spanish word hay is used to inquire about the existence of a place in a particular area, such as a town, neighborhood, or city. \n\n\n\nNote that the previous questions are too straightforward. To soften these phrases and be more polite, you can combine them with the following expressions:\n\n\n\nBuenos d\u00edas: Good morningBuenas noches: Good night Buenas tardes: Good afternoon \/ Good eveningDisculpe \/ Disculpa: Excuse mePerd\u00f3n: Sorry \/ Excuse me\u00bfPodr\u00eda decirme\u2026?: Could you tell me\u2026?\n\n\n\nDisculpe, \u00bfd\u00f3nde hay un cajero?Excuse me, where is an ATM? \n\n\n\nBuenos d\u00edas, \u00bfpodr\u00eda decirme d\u00f3nde se encuentra la parada?Good morning, can you tell me where the bus stop is? \n\n\n\nTake Note: In Spanish, a + el is contracted (al) to ease the pronunciation. So, instead of saying \u2018a el parque\u2019, you must say \u2018al parque\u2019. \n\n\n\nVocabulary for Giving Directions in Spanish\n\n\n\nNow that you know the most common ways to ask for directions in Spanish, here are some basic verbs and words you or someone else can use to give directions: \n\n\n\nBasic verbs to give directions in Spanish\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCaminar: To walkCruzar: To crossDar vuelta \/ Doblar \/ Girar: To turnEstar: To beHay: There is \/ There areIr: To goLlegar: To arrive \/ To reachPasar: To passSeguir \/ Continuar: To continue \/ To go onTomar: To takeTopar con: To reach\n\n\n\nPhrases, prepositions and adverbs of place: \n\n\n\nA una cuadra: One block awayA la derecha: RightA la izquierda: LeftA mano derecha: On the rightA mano derecha: On the leftAl lado: Next toCerca de: Nearby \/ Close toDerecho: StraightDetr\u00e1s de: Behind of En: In \/ OnEn direcci\u00f3n a: Toward \/ Towards Enfrente de: Across from \/ In front ofEntre: Between Hasta: Until \/ Down toLa siguiente: NextPor aqu\u00ed: Around herePrimera: First\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nParts of the city in Spanish\n\n\n\nLa avenida: AvenueEl aeropuerto: Airport El banco: BankLa biblioteca: LibraryLa calle: StreetEl cajero: ATMLa cuadra: BlockLa escuela: SchoolLa estaci\u00f3n de tren: Train station El hotel: HotelLa glorieta \/ La rotonda: Roundabout La manzana: BlockEl museo: Museum La iglesia: ChurchLa oficina: OfficeLa parada: StopLa plaza: SquareEl parque: ParkEl restaurante: RestaurantLa salida: ExitLa tienda: Store \/ Shop\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHere are some examples combining this vocabulary:\n\n\n\nEl cajero est\u00e1 al lado de la farmacia. The ATM is next to the pharmacy. \n\n\n\nCamine dos cuadras y d\u00e9 vuelta a la derecha.Walk two blocks and turn right. \n\n\n\nSiga derecho hasta llegar al parque. Go straight until you reach the park. \n\n\n\nLa biblioteca est\u00e1 cruzando la calle, en medio del banco y la iglesia. The library is across the street, between the bank and the avenue. \n\n\n\nKey Points\n\n\n\nAsking and giving directions in Spanish is an essential skill that you may need when visiting a Spanish-speaking country. Here are some key points you should remember: \n\n\n\nThe verb estar in Spanish is used to express location.\u00a0Use the impersonal word \u2018hay\u2019 to ask or indicate the existence of something in a particular location.\u00a0\u00bfD\u00f3nde est\u00e1? is the most common way to ask for something\u2019s location.\u00a0\u2018Caminar\u2019, \u2018seguir\u2019, \u2018cruzar\u2019, and \u2018dar vuelta\u2019 are some of the most common verbs to give directions.\u00a0Spanish prepositions of place and adverbs allow you to express more precisely where something is.\u00a0Use greetings in Spanish to pose questions more politely.\u00a0Contract \u2018a + el\u2019 into \u2018al\u2019 to smooth the pronunciation which means \u2018to the\u2019 or \u2018at the\u2019.\u00a0\n\n\n\nNext Steps: Additional Resources for Spanish Directions\n\n\n\nNow that you have a basic understanding of how to ask and give directions, learning some prepositions of place in Spanish and adverbs can help you describe more precisely where places and things are located.\u00a0\n\n\n\nAdditionally, check how to form regular imperatives since these are the conjugations we use when giving directions in Spanish. Since it allows you to express where things are, you should check how to use estar and how to conjugate this verb. \n\n\n\nIf you\u2019re a tourist, there are different Spanish for travelers resources that can help you learn the vocabulary you need to communicate in common situations. I recommend checking out my list of the top 91 Spanish travel phrases and words for tourists. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDownload PDF","headline":"Spanish Basics: Vocabulary for Directions in Spanish","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Daniela Sanchez","url":"https:\/\/www.tellmeinspanish.com\/about-me\/"},"datePublished":"2023-07-18","mainEntityOfPage":"False","dateModified":"August 12, 2023","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/www.tellmeinspanish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Spanish-Basics-Vocabulary-for-Directions-in-Spanish-Featured-300x169.jpg","height":169,"width":300},"publisher":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Organization","name":"Tell Me In Spanish","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/www.tellmeinspanish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/tmis_logo_xs-300x188.png","height":600,"width":60}}} </script> <article class="article-card horizontal "> <a href="https://www.tellmeinspanish.com/vocab/spanish-questions/" rel="nofollow"><div class="image-container" style="background-image: url('https://www.tellmeinspanish.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/100-Common-Spanish-Questions-for-Everyday-Situations-Featured-300x169.jpg')"></div><span class="sr-only">link to 100 Common Spanish Questions for Everyday Situations</span></a> <div class="copy-container"> <header> <p><a href="https://www.tellmeinspanish.com/vocab/spanish-questions/">100 Common Spanish Questions for Everyday Situations</a></p> </header> <div class="excerpt"> <p>Knowing basic Spanish questions is an essential skill for effective communication.

Here is an overview of what we\u2019ll cover: \n\n\n\nList of Words for Food in SpanishFruitsVegetablesMeats & SeafoodDairy & Other ProductsPhrases to Talk About Food Food Idioms in SpanishNext StepsDownloadable PDF\n\n\n\nLet\u2019s get down to business! \n\n\n\nList of Spanish Words for Food - La Comida\n\n\n\nBelow is the most common Spanish food vocabulary. For the most part, these words are used across all Spanish-speaking countries. I\u2019ve made sure to include dialectal variations when applicable. \n\n\n\nIn such cases, the term used in Spain will appear first, followed by the food word used in Latin America. \n\n\n\nFruits - Las Frutas\n\n\n\nEl aguacate: AvocadoEl ar\u00e1ndano: BlueberryLa banana \/ El pl\u00e1tano: BananaLa ciruela: PlumEl coco: CoconutEl durazno \/ El melocot\u00f3n: PeachLa frambuesa: RaspberryLa fresa: StrawberryLa guinda \/ La cereza: CherryLa granada: PomegranateEl higo: FigEl kiwi: KiwiEl lim\u00f3n: LemonLa mandarina: MandarinEl mango: MangoLa manzana: AppleEl mel\u00f3n: MelonLa naranja: OrangeLa papaya: PapayaLa pera: PearLa pi\u00f1a: PineappleEl pomelo \/ La toronja: Grapefruit La sand\u00eda: WatermelonLa uva: Grape\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00bfQui\u00e9n quiere una naranja?Who wants an orange?\n\n\n\nNecesito m\u00e1s aguacate. I need more avocado. \n\n\n\nEl mango sabe un poco \u00e1cido.The mango tastes a bit sour. \n\n\n\nA Stephanie no le gustan las manzanas. Stephanie doesn\u2019t like apples. \n\n\n\nTake Note: Spanish food words are nouns. As a result, they have gender and plural forms. Fruit terms follow the standard rules for gender where feminine words end with an a and masculine terms with an o, u, e or i. \n\n\n\nVegetables - Las Verduras\n\n\n\nEl apio: CeleryLa berenjena: EggplantEl betabel: BeetrootEl br\u00f3coli: Broccoli La calabaza: Squash \/ Pumpkin La cebolla: OnionEl champi\u00f1\u00f3n: MushroomLa col: CabbageLa colifor: CauliflowerLa espinaca: Spinach El guisante \/ El ch\u00edcharo: PeaLa lechuga: LettuceEl ma\u00edz: CornLa papa: PotatoEl pepino: CucumberEl pepinillo: Pickle El pimiento: PepperEl r\u00e1bano: RadishEl tomate*: Tomato La zanahoria: Carrot\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n*In Mexican Spanish, tomate refers to green tomatoes, whereas jitomate is the word for red tomato. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLimpia las papas, por favor. Clean the potatoes, please. \n\n\n\nLa tortilla est\u00e1 hecha de ma\u00edz.Tortilla is made of corn. \n\n\n\nNecesitas comer m\u00e1s lechuga. You need to eat more lettuce. \n\n\n\nTake Note: In Spanish, verduras and vegetales are the words we use to say \u2018vegetables\u2019. \n\n\n\nMeats & Seafood - La Carne y Los Mariscos\n\n\n\nEl at\u00fan: TunaEl camar\u00f3n: ShrimpEl cangrejo: CrabLa carne: MeatEl cerdo: Pork El jam\u00f3n: HamLa langosta: LobsterEl langostino: PrawnLos mariscos: SeafoodLa res: BeefEl pescado: FishEl pollo: ChickenEl pulpo: Octopus La salchicha: Sausage El salm\u00f3n: SalmonLa trucha: Trout\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00bfTe gusta el pescado? Do you like fish?\n\n\n\nTim es al\u00e9rgico al camar\u00f3n. Tim is allergic to shrimp. \n\n\n\nMi hermana no come carne de res. My sister doesn\u2019t eat beef. \n\n\n\nIn Spanish, it\u2019s common to use the structure carne de to talk about the type of meat. We do this to avoid confusing a Spanish food term with the name of the animal. Here is an example:  \n\n\n\nMe encanta la carne de cerdo. I love pork. \n\n\n\nSpanish dairy products & others - Productos L\u00e1cteos y otras comidas\n\n\n\nEl aceite: OilEl az\u00facar: SugarLa canela: Cinnamon La crema: CreamLa harina: FlourEl huevo: EggLa leche: MilkLa mantequilla: ButterEl pan: BreadLa pimienta: Peper El queso: CheeseLa sal: Salt El yogur: Yogurt\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNo le pongas tanta sal a la comida. Don\u2019t put so much salt on the food. \n\n\n\nVoy a preparar huevos con jam\u00f3n. I\u2019m going to prepare eggs with ham. \n\n\n\n\u00bfQuieres mantequilla para tu pan?Do you want butter for your bread?\n\n\n\nTake Note: Foods for nouns can be countable or uncountable, meaning you\u2019ll have to use different words and structures to measure them. \n\n\n\nAdditional Spanish Food Vocabulary\n\n\n\nNow that you know the most common Spanish words for food, here is some additional vocabulary that will allow you to talk about food.
