Qu\u00e9 inquires about definitions, time, explanations, or identifies something. It\u2019s the direct translation of \u2018what\u2019. Cu\u00e1l means \u2018what\u2019 when used to ask for personal information and also inquires about preferences (which). Unlike qu\u00e9, cu\u00e1l has a plural form.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\u00bfQu\u00e9 te dijo Jean? What did Jean tell you?\n\n\n\n\u00bfCu\u00e1l helado quieres? Which ice cream do you want?\n\n\n\n\u00bfCu\u00e1les son los mejores restaurantes y qu\u00e9 tipo de comida venden? Which are the best restaurants and what type of food do they sell?\u00a0\n\n\n\nIn the following sections, you\u2019ll find more detailed information about when and how to use cu\u00e1l and qu\u00e9.\n\n\n\nCu\u00e1l vs Qu\u00e9: Key Points\n\n\n\n\u2018Qu\u00e9\u2019 is the direct translation of \u2018what\u2019 and asks about meanings, definitions, explanations, or time.\u00a0It can also be used to identify things or places. In this context, it may be translated as \u2018which\u2019.\u00a0\u2018Qu\u00e9\u2019 only has a singular form and it can work with nouns and verbs.\u00a0In affirmative sentences, qu\u00e9 can be used with adjectives or adverbs to emphasize qualities or react to a situation.\u00a0Cu\u00e1l means \u2018what\u2019 when used to ask about personal information, such as name, address, email, phone number, etc.\u00a0It means \u2018which\u2019 when asking for people\u2019s preferences from a group of things.\u00a0It implies a choice between two or more options.\u00a0Cu\u00e1l works with nouns and, as such, it has a plural form.\u00a0\n\n\n\nWhen to Use Cu\u00e1l in Spanish\n\n\n\nCu\u00e1l is the Spanish question word we use to ask people to choose something from a group of things \u2013preferences. \n\n\n\n\u00bfCu\u00e1l + (noun) + [conjugated verb]?\n\n\n\n\u00bfCu\u00e1l vestido te llevaste? Which dress did you take?\n\n\n\nMayra, \u00bfcu\u00e1l de estas blusas te gusta?\u00a0 Mayra, which of these blouses do you like?\u00a0\n\n\n\nLas dos sopas se ven ricas, \u00bfcu\u00e1l me recomiendas? The two soups look delicious, which one do you recommend?\n\n\n\nCu\u00e1l also identifies things from a larger group:\n\n\n\n\u00bfCu\u00e1l + [ser conjugated] + [noun]\n\n\n\nGiovanna, \u00bfcu\u00e1l es tu mochila?\u00a0 Giovanna, which one is your backpack?\n\n\n\nDisculpa, \u00bfsabes cu\u00e1l es el sal\u00f3n de espa\u00f1ol? Excuse me, do you know which is the Spanish classroom?\u00a0\n\n\n\nIncorrect \n\n\n\n\u00bfQu\u00e9 es tu color favorito? What\u2019s your favorite color?\n\n\n\nCorrect\n\n\n\n\u00bfCu\u00e1l es tu color favorito? What\u2019s your favorite color?\n\n\n\nOn top of asking for choices and personal preferences, in Spanish, cu\u00e1l also asks for personal information, such as:\n\n\n\nNamePhone numberAddressEmail \/ AccountsPasswords \n\n\n\nIn this context, cu\u00e1l is always translated as \u2018what\u2019:\n\n\n\nNaomi, \u00bfcu\u00e1l es tu apellido? Naomi, what\u2019s your last name?\n\n\n\n\u00bfSabes cu\u00e1l es el n\u00famero de la pizzer\u00eda? Do you know what the pizzeria\u2019s number is?\n\n\n\nSi quieres, puedo pasar por ti. \u00bfCu\u00e1l es tu direcci\u00f3n? If you want, I can pick you up. What\u2019s your address?\u00a0\n\n\n\nHow and When to Use Qu\u00e9\n\n\n\nUnlike cu\u00e1l, where we expect a choice or personal information, qu\u00e9 inquires broader information. The main function of this question word is to ask for explanations, facts, definitions, and time. \n\n\n\nBecause it asks for a wider range of information, qu\u00e9 works with nouns and conjugated verbs. \n\n\n\n\u00bfA qu\u00e9 hora empez\u00f3 el partido? What time did the game start?\u00a0\n\n\n\n\u00bfQu\u00e9 van a hacer ma\u00f1ana? What are you guys going to do tomorrow?\n\n\n\n\u00bfQu\u00e9 son las enchiladas y con qu\u00e9 se comen? What are enchiladas and what do you eat them with?\n\n\n\nQu\u00e9 also identifies things from a larger group, but it doesn\u2019t imply that a choice needs to be made:\n\n\n\n\u00bfQu\u00e9 pel\u00edcula vieron? What movie did you guys watch?\u00a0\n\n\n\nOye, y \u00bfqu\u00e9 libros est\u00e1s leyendo?\u00a0 Hey, and what books are you reading?\n\n\n\n\u00bfQu\u00e9 tipo de pizza quieres ordenar? What type of pizza do you want to order?\u00a0\n\n\n\nTake Note: Even though qu\u00e9 doesn\u2019t have a plural form, it does work with plural nouns.\n\n\n\nWatch the Cu\u00e1l vs Qu\u00e9 Video Lesson\n\n\n\n\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/r13fQi31lls\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/lM9Kn5X6Dh8\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWatch the Spanish Immersion Lesson!Qu\u00e9 vs cu\u00e1l is a topic that often confuses many Spanish learners.

Irse conveys and emphasizes that someone is leaving a place. Dejar expresses that someone leaves something or someone else in a place. Finally, salir indicates when a means of transportation leaves. It also means \u2018to exit\u2019, \u2018to get out\u2019, or \u2018go out\u2019. \n\n\n\nMe voy a las ocho para llegar temprano. I leave at eight to arrive early. \n\n\n\nEl tren sale cada diez minutos. The train leaves every ten minutes. \n\n\n\nDaniel siempre deja su cartera en la mesa. Daniel always leaves his wallet on the table. \n\n\n\nSalir vs Dejar vs Irse Key Points\n\n\n\nIn Spanish, \u2018to leave\u2019 has three different translations (dejar, salir, irse).\u00a0Dejar means \u2018to leave\u2019, but it refers to leaving someone or something in a place.\u00a0When referring to places, it implies that a person abandoned or left a location behind.\u00a0This information needs to be explicitly stated.\u00a0Dejar + infinitive indicates that a person stops doing an activity.\u00a0Irse emphasizes that a person leaves or departs from a place. It can stand on its own.\u00a0Salir can be used to express that a person exits buildings, cars, rooms, or any confined space.\u00a0Use the preposition \u2018de\u2019 to express where you\u2019re exiting from.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/1HkeAjjb-1g\n\n\n\n\nWhen to Use Salir vs Dejar vs Irse\n\n\n\nIn Spanish, the verb \u2018to leave\u2019 has three equivalents: salir, dejar, and irse. However, each one of these verbs has different functions. \n\n\n\nWhen to use dejar\n\n\n\nDejar means \u2018to leave\u2019, but with this meaning, this verb can only be used to convey that someone leaves something or someone in a place:\n\n\n\n[Dejar conjugated] + [noun]\n\n\n\nDej\u00e9 mis llaves en la mesa. I left my keys on the table.\n\n\n\nDejo a los ni\u00f1os a las nueve. I leave the children at nine. \n\n\n\n\u00bfD\u00f3nde quieres que deje tu bolsa? Where do you want me to leave your bag?\n\n\n\nDejar can also refer to leaving a place, but it conveys that someone is abandoning such a location for good. \n\n\n\nMiriam dej\u00f3 su pueblo para mudarse a la ciudad. Miriam left her town to move to the city. \n\n\n\nTake Note: In this context, the verb dejar is followed by a direct object, which means that you must use personal a if that object is a person or specific animal. Additionally, you can use dejar de + infinitive to express that someone stops doing an activity. \n\n\n\n\u00a1Deja de jugar con la comida! Stop playing with the food!\n\n\n\nHow and when to use irse\n\n\n\nOn the other hand, irse is used only to express and emphasize that someone or something leaves from a place. It can work alone in a sentence or you can include additional information, such as the hour or the place you leave. \n\n\n\n\u00a1Ya me voy! Nos vemos ma\u00f1ana. I am leaving! See you tomorrow. \n\n\n\nEl cami\u00f3n se va a las cinco y media. The bus leaves at five thirty. \n\n\n\nManuel y yo nos fuimos de la oficina a las diez. Manuel and I left the office at ten. \n\n\n\nTake Note: A key difference between salir vs dejar vs irse is that irse is a pronominal verb in Spanish, which means that it works with reflexive pronouns. \n\n\n\nWhen to use salir\n\n\n\nIn the context of \u2018leaving\u2019, salir communicates that someone or something departs or exits a place. It\u2019s close in meaning to \u2018to come out\u2019, \u2018to get out\u2019, \u2018to go out\u2019, and \u2018to depart\u2019. \n\n\n\n\u00a1S\u00e1lganse del cuarto de su hermana! Get out of your sister\u2019s room!\n\n\n\nAnne sali\u00f3 a tomar un poco de aire. Anne went out to get some fresh air. \n\n\n\nNuestro avi\u00f3n sale a las diez de la ma\u00f1ana. Our plane leaves at ten in the morning.\n\n\n\nOn top of this meaning, salir also means \u2018to go out\u2019. \n\n\n\nMaggie sali\u00f3 con sus amigas. Maggie went out with her friends. \n\n\n\nHoy no quiero salir, quiero descansar. I don\u2019t want to go out today, I want to rest. \n\n\n\nTake Note: When talking about leaving a place, native speakers also use the reflexive form salirse to add emphasis. This form is often used interchangeably with irse. \n\n\n\nMe sal\u00ed de la oficina a las diez. I left the office at ten. \n\n\n\n\u00bfPor qu\u00e9 te saliste sin permiso? Why did you leave without permission?\n\n\n\nDifference Between Salir and Dejar\n\n\n\nAlthough they can both be used to talk about leaving a place, salir and dejar have significant nuances in meaning. Dejar implies that someone goes away permanently, whereas salir just expresses that someone exits a place. \n\n\n\nDej\u00e9 ese trabajo porque era muy estresante. I left that job because it was very stressful. \n\n\n\nSal\u00ed temprano del trabajo para ir al doctor.

In this guide, you\u2019ll find the vocabulary and phrases you need not only to order food in Spanish, but also to communicate effectively at the restaurant.\n\n\n\nPhrases to Order Food in Spanish\n\n\n\nPara m\u00ed, va a ser\u2026 - For me, it\u2019s going to be\u00bfMe puedes\/podr\u00edas traer\u2026? - Can\/Could you bring me\u2026?Quisiera\u2026 - I would like\u2026Voy a querer\u2026 - I\u2019ll have\u2026\u00bfQu\u00e9 platillo me recomiendas? - What dish would you recommend to me?\n\n\n\nAlthough there are many ways to order food in Spanish, these are the most common phrases for this context. Let\u2019s look at some notes so you can correctly use these phrases. \n\n\n\nPara m\u00ed va a ser refers to a singular dish or beverage. \n\n\n\nPara m\u00ed, va a ser un jugo de naranja. For me, it\u2019s going to be orange juice. \n\n\n\nThis means you must adjust the verb if referring to a plural noun (van). Also, you can use different prepositional pronouns in Spanish to order for others: \n\n\n\nPara ellos, van a ser dos caf\u00e9s. For them, it\u2019s going to be two coffees. \n\n\n\nTo order food in Spanish more casually, you can say:\n\n\n\nYo voy a querer dos burritos. I\u2019ll have two burritos. \n\n\n\n\u00bfMe puedes traer una orden de hot cakes? Can you bring me an order of pancakes? \n\n\n\nThe formal counterparts are quisiera and \u00bfme podr\u00edas\u2026?\n\n\n\nQuisiera ordenar la ensalada de frutas. I\u2019d like to order the fruit salad.\n\n\n\n\u00bfMe podr\u00edas traer la sopa del d\u00eda? Could you bring me the soup of the day?\n\n\n\nThis last expression can be customized by changing the indirect object pronoun. \n\n\n\nTake Note: Like in English, in Spanish, \u00bfme puedes traer\u2026? and its formal variation can be used to ask the waiter to bring anything, including glasses, napkins, or cutlery. \n\n\n\nAsking for recommendations and ingredients\n\n\n\n\u00bfQu\u00e9 platillo me recomiendas? can work on its own as a cue to order something. However, if you have specific requests for the recommendation, you should use the following formula. Be aware that, in real-life situations, the order of the elements may change:\n\n\n\n\u00bfQu\u00e9 + [noun] + [indirect pronoun] + recomiendas + que + [present subjunctive]?\n\n\n\n\u00bfQu\u00e9 platillo me recomiendas que no tenga carne? What dish would you recommend without meat?\n\n\n\n\u00bfQu\u00e9 sopa que lleve pollo nos recomiendas? What soup that has chicken do you recommend?\n\n\n\nIn Spanish, the verb llevar is used to inquire about the ingredients in a dish. \n\n\n\n\u00bfQu\u00e9 lleva la paella? What\u2019s in the paella?\n\n\n\n\u00bfLas enchiladas llevan carne? Do the enchiladas contain meat? \n\n\n\nEl jugo de naranja no lleva az\u00facar. The orange juice doesn\u2019t contain sugar. \n\n\n\nTake Note: Depending on the formality of the situation, you may need to choose between using formal or informal you with the restaurant personnel. \n\n\n\nCorrecting your order\n\n\n\nNow that you know how to order food in Spanish, here are some phrases you can use to point out mistakes in your order. Note that to make these expressions more polite, you can use the word disculpa (excuse me). \n\n\n\n[Indirect pronoun] + [pedir in preterite] + [dish\/drink]\n\n\n\nDisculpa, te ped\u00ed la ensalada sin queso. Excuse me, I ordered the salad without cheese. \n\n\n\nLe pedimos dos caf\u00e9s y un t\u00e9. We ordered two coffees and a cup of tea. \n\n\n\nThe second option you have is:\n\n\n\n[Dish\/drink] + [ser in imperfect tense] + con\/sin + [ingredients]\n\n\n\nLa hamburguesa era sin catsup. The burger was without ketchup. \n\n\n\nDisculpa, las limonadas eran con agua mineral.\u00a0 Excuse me, the lemonades were with mineral water. \n\n\n\n\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=t8V2Gw8MyiM\n\n\n\n\nHow to Ask for the Bill in Spanish\n\n\n\n\u00bfMe puedes traer la cuenta, por favor? \u00bfMe das la cuenta, por favor? \u00bfTe encargo la cuenta, por favor? \u00bfTe puedo pedir la cuenta, por favor?\n\n\n\nThe previous expressions are the most standard ways to ask for the bill in Spanish. If you\u2019re in a more casual setting, you can also say:\n\n\n\n\u00bfCu\u00e1nto va a ser? - How much is it going to be?\u00bfCu\u00e1nto es? - How much is it?\u00bfCu\u00e1nto te\/le debo? - How much do I owe you?\n\n\n\nHow to Take an Order\n\n\n\nSo far, you\u2019ve learned how to order food and how to correct your order if there\u2019s a mistake. Here are some expressions the waiter may use to take your order in Spanish: \n\n\n\n\u00bfEst\u00e1 listo para ordenar? - Are you ready to order?\u00bfQu\u00e9 desea ordenar? - What would you like to order?\u00bfNecesita unos minutos m\u00e1s? - Do you need a few more minutes?\u00bfQu\u00e9 ser\u00eda para usted? - What would you have?\u00bfDesea ordenar las bebidas primero? - Would you like to order the drinks first?\u00bfQu\u00e9 va a ser para tomar? - What would you like to drink?\u00bfSu bebida ser\u00eda con agua mineral o natural? - Do you want your drink with mineral or natural water?\u00bfDesea acompa\u00f1ar su platillo con algo m\u00e1s? - Would you like to add something else to your meal?\u00bfLe puedo retirar la carta? - Can I take the menu? \u00bfEst\u00e1 todo bien? - Is everything okay?\u00bfLe puedo ofrecer algo m\u00e1s? - Can I offer you something else?\u00bfDesea un postre? - Would you like to order a dessert?\u00bfLe gustar\u00eda ver el men\u00fa de postres? - Would you like to see the dessert menu?\n\n\n\nKey Vocabulary for Ordering Food in Spanish\n\n\n\nHere are some words you may find useful in the restaurant context. \n\n\n\nAperitivo: AppetizerAz\u00facar: SugarBa\u00f1o: Toilet Caf\u00e9: Coffee Con: WithCuchara: Spoon Cuchillo: Knife Cuenta: BillHielo: IceMantel: TableclothMen\u00fa \/ Carta: MenuMesa: TableMesero: WaiterMesera: WaitressOrden: OrderPara dos: For twoPara llevar: To go\/To takePlato: PlatePostre: DessertPropina: TipRefresco: Soft drinkSal: SaltSalero: Salt-shakerServilleta: NapkinSin: Without Taza: CupTenedor: ForkTerraza: Terrace Vaso: GlassVino: Wine\n\n\n\n\u00bfQu\u00e9 aperitivo nos recomiendas?

Ser conveys information related to inherent qualities, which are characteristics associated with an object or person\u2019s identity. Some of the information ser conveys includes:\n\n\n\nIdentifying people or thingsTime and dateLocation of eventsDescriptions OriginProfession Relationships and possessionsPassive voice\n\n\n\nSus pap\u00e1s son doctores.\u00a0 His parents are doctors.\u00a0\n\n\n\nYo soy Daniela y ella es mi mam\u00e1.\u00a0 I am Daniela and she is my mom.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\u00bfDe qu\u00e9 parte de Espa\u00f1a eres? What part of Spain are you from?\u00a0\n\n\n\nWhen to Use Ser Key Points\n\n\n\nSer means \u2018to be\u2019, but it refers to inherent qualities. Characteristics a person was born with or an object created.It\u2019s paired with adjectives of physical appearance, personality, or nationality.\u00a0It only indicates the location of events. The location of people, places, and things is conveyed by estar.\u00a0\u2018Ser de + noun\u2019 is the formula to express origin or the material of something.The passive voice with ser focuses on the direct object of the sentence, rather than the subject. Use the structure \u2018ser + past participle\u2019 to form it.\u00a0\n\n\n\nIn this guide, you\u2019ll learn the different ways to use ser in real-life situations. \n\n\n\n1. Using Ser for an Event\u2019s Location\n\n\n\nIn Spanish, the location of an event is expressed with ser since this information and the type of event are inherent information. These are traits the event was created with.\u00a0\n\n\n\nLa boda de Ana fue en Canc\u00fan.\u00a0 Ana\u2019s wedding was in Cancun.\u00a0\n\n\n\nMi graduaci\u00f3n va a ser en el auditorio.\u00a0 My graduation is going to be in the Auditorium.\u00a0\n\n\n\nLa fiesta ser\u00e1 en el sal\u00f3n que est\u00e1 en el parque.\u00a0 The party will be in the salon that\u2019s in the park.\u00a0\n\n\n\nExamples of nouns that you can combine with ser are:\n\n\n\nBautizo: Baptism Boda: WeddingCita: Date \/ AppointmentConcierto: ConcertExamen: ExamFiesta: PartyGraduaci\u00f3n: GraduationObra: Play \n\n\n\n2. Identifying People, Places & Things\n\n\n\nIn daily-life conversations, ser allows you to identify someone or something. This includes introducing people or pointing at things. \n\n\n\nEsta es Alice, mi vecina.\u00a0 This is Alice, my neighbor.\n\n\n\nYo soy la due\u00f1a de la casa, \u00bfusted qui\u00e9n es? I am the owner of the house, who are you?\n\n\n\n\u00bfAqu\u00ed es la escuela de espa\u00f1ol? \u00bfO es enfrente? Is the Spanish school here? Or is it across the street?\n\n\n\nThe situation exposed in example #3 often confuses learners. At first sight, it seems that we\u2019re expressing the school\u2019s location. However, we\u2019re actually identifying the school from a group of buildings.\u00a0\n\n\n\nTake Note: As a tip, you can only express the location of places we know. If the place is unknown to you or the other person, you may need to use ser to identify or the impersonal form hay to express existence. \n\n\n\nIdentifying also relates to expressing possession or talking about relationships. \n\n\n\nEsos son mis perros.\u00a0Those are my dogs.\u00a0\n\n\n\nLa hija de la maestra es mi vecina.\u00a0The teacher\u2019s daughter is my neighbor.\u00a0\n\n\n\n3. Describing Something or Someone\n\n\n\nOne of the most common applications of ser in Spanish is to describe things and people. Specifically, it describes their personality and physical traits, such as: \n\n\n\nSize or heightColor (hair, eyes, skin, etc)ShapeTexture \n\n\n\n[Ser conjugated] + [adjective]\n\n\n\nAurora es delgada y alta. Aurora is thin and tall.\n\n\n\nSus ojos son caf\u00e9s y grandes. Her eyes are brown and big.\u00a0\n\n\n\nLa mesa es cuadrada y r\u00fastica.\u00a0 The table is square and rustic.\u00a0\n\n\n\nNuestra vecina es muy buena con los ni\u00f1os.\u00a0 Our neighbor is very good with kids.\u00a0\n\n\n\nTake Note: The verb estar also describes people or objects, but focuses on slightly different information. You can check a more detailed explanation in my guide on ser vs estar. \n\n\n\n4. Talking About a Place\u2019s Weather\n\n\n\nAlthough there are many verbs to talk about the weather in Spanish, ser is exclusively used to express how the climate of a place usually is. \n\n\n\nC\u00e1lido: WarmCaluroso: HotFr\u00edo: ColdTropical: TropicalLluvioso: RainyH\u00famedo: HumidTemplado: MildSeco: Dry\n\n\n\nEsta ciudad es muy c\u00e1lida y h\u00fameda.\u00a0 This city is very warm and humid.\u00a0\n\n\n\nAqu\u00ed, las noches son muy fr\u00edas y secas.\u00a0 Here, nights are cold and dry.\u00a0\n\n\n\nEl clima en M\u00e9xico es muy caluroso. Algunas zonas son muy lluviosas.\u00a0 In Mexico, the weather is very hot. Some areas are quite rainy.\u00a0\n\n\n\n5. Ser + De: Expressing Origin & Material\n\n\n\nThe verb ser is combined with the preposition de to express a person or object\u2019s origin: \n\n\n\n[Ser conjugated] + de + (determiner) + [noun]\n\n\n\n\u00bfEres del sur de la ciudad?\u00a0 Are you from the south of the city?\n\n\n\nEsas manzanas son de nuestro huerto.\u00a0 Those apples are from our orchard.\n\n\n\nAndrew y M\u00f3nica son de Francia. \u00bfUstedes de d\u00f3nde son? Andrew and Monica are from France. Where are you from?\n\n\n\nTake Note: You can express nationality using this structure, or you could also use an adjective of nationality. \n\n\n\nSer + de is also used to describe the material of something:\n\n\n\nSus zapatos son de cuero.\u00a0 Her shoes are leather.\u00a0\n\n\n\nQuiero un vestido que sea de seda.\u00a0 I want a silk dress.\u00a0\n\n\n\nLa pel\u00edcula que queremos ver es de terror.\u00a0 The movie we want to see is a horror film.\n\n\n\n\u00bfDe qu\u00e9 era la pizza que ordenamos? \u00bfEra de pepperoni? What was the pizza we ordered? Was it pepperoni?\n\n\n\nTake Note: When referring to possession, the structure ser + de allows you to clarify or introduce the owner of something for the first time.\n\n\n\nEsas llaves no son tuyas, son de Lauren.\u00a0 Those keys are not yours, they are Lauren\u2019s.\u00a0\n\n\n\n6. Talking about Profession or Long-Term Occupations\n\n\n\nA person\u2019s profession or trades are part of his or her identity. As a result, this information is also delivered with the verb ser. \n\n\n\n[Ser conjugated] + [noun]\n\n\n\nMi hermanito quiere ser astronauta.\u00a0 My baby brother wants to be an astronaut.\u00a0\n\n\n\nRa\u00fal es futbolista y su esposa es pintora.\u00a0 Raul is a soccer player and his wife is a painter.\u00a0\n\n\n\nMarina y Carla son meseras en ese restaurante.\u00a0 Marina and Carla are waitresses in that restaurant.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\n\n7. Expressing Affiliations\n\n\n\nIn daily-life situations, native Spanish speakers also use ser to express religious or political affiliations since this information conveys who a person is.\u00a0\n\n\n\nMis pap\u00e1s son cat\u00f3licos. My parents are catholic.\n\n\n\nEsos candidatos son socialistas.\u00a0 Those candidates are socialist.\u00a0\n\n\n\nChris no es cristiano, creo que es ateo.\u00a0 Chris is not Christian, I think he is atheist.\u00a0\n\n\n\n8. Saying or Asking for the Price\n\n\n\nIn the context of buying and paying for things, ser is used to ask for the total price of something:\u00a0\n\n\n\n\u00bfCu\u00e1nto es?\u00a0 How much is it?\n\n\n\nFueron doscientos pesos de los boletos.\u00a0 It was two hundred pesos for the tickets.\u00a0\n\n\n\nVan a ser cincuenta d\u00f3lares por los dos.\u00a0 It\u2019s going to be fifty dollars for the two of you.\u00a0\n\n\n\nYou can also use the formal question \u00bfcu\u00e1l es el precio de\u2026? to inquire about the price of something.\u00a0\n\n\n\nDisculpe, \u00bfcu\u00e1l es el precio de las flores? Excuse me, what is the price of the flowers?\n\n\n\n9. Forming the Passive Voice\n\n\n\nIn Spanish, ser is one of the key elements to form the passive voice, which is used to emphasize the direct object in a sentence. \n\n\n\n[Ser conjugated] + [past participle]\n\n\n\nEl libro fue publicado en 1990.\u00a0 The book was published in 1990.\u00a0\n\n\n\nEsa pintura ser\u00e1 vendida al mejor postor.\u00a0 That painting will be sold to the best bidder.\n\n\n\nTodas las aplicaciones son revisadas cuidadosamente.\u00a0 All the applications are carefully reviewed.\u00a0\n\n\n\nTake Note: In this context, the Spanish past participles work as adjectives. As a result, they must agree with the noun in gender and number.

Me too.\n\n\n\nYo tambi\u00e9n vi esa pel\u00edcula y a m\u00ed tambi\u00e9n me gust\u00f3.\u00a0 I also watched that movie and I liked it too.\n\n\n\nYo Tambi\u00e9n vs A m\u00ed Tambi\u00e9n: Key Points\n\n\n\nBoth yo tambi\u00e9n and a m\u00ed tambi\u00e9n show agreement with an affirmative statement.\u00a0They mean \u2018me too\u2019 or \u2018I also\u2019.The difference between them is the type of verb they respond to.\u00a0\u2018Yo tambi\u00e9n\u2019 conveys positive agreement with most verbs where the speaker is the subject.\u00a0\u2018A m\u00ed tambi\u00e9n\u2019 is the response for verbs like \u2018gustar\u2019 (interesar, encantar, agradar, etc) or when the person is the indirect object in the sentence.\u00a0\u2018Tampoco\u2019 means \u2018neither\u2019 and expresses agreement with negative statements.\u00a0Use \u2018subject\/prepositional pronoun + s\u00ed\u2019 to express disagreement with a negative statement.Use \u2018subject\/prepositional pronoun + no\u2019 to express disagreement with an affirmative statement.To express agreement or disagreement for others, you must adjust the pronouns accordingly.\u00a0\n\n\n\nWhen to Use Yo Tambi\u00e9n\n\n\n\nIn Spanish, yo tambi\u00e9n conveys agreement with an affirmative statement. However, it can only be used with verbs where the people involved in the conversation perform the action.\n\n\n\nSpanishEnglishPersona 1: Ma\u00f1ana tengo que trabajar.Person 1: I have to work tomorrow.T\u00fa: Yo tambi\u00e9n.\u00a0You: Me too!\n\n\n\n\u00a1Qu\u00e9 bueno que est\u00e1s bien! Yo tambi\u00e9n estoy bien.\u00a0 I\u2019m glad you are okay! I\u2019m well too.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\u00bfTe levantas a las cinco de la ma\u00f1ana? \u00a1Yo tambi\u00e9n!\u00a0 Do you wake up at five in the morning? Me too!\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\n\nYo tambi\u00e9n vivo cerca del parque.\u00a0 I live near the park too.\n\n\n\nTake Note: In simple terms, yo tambi\u00e9n is used to respond to most verbs.\u00a0\n\n\n\nNote that you can adjust this structure to express agreement for others. To do so, you simply need to replace yo with a name, noun, or Spanish subject pronoun. \n\n\n\nHans habla espa\u00f1ol y ellos tambi\u00e9n.\u00a0 Hans speaks Spanish and they do too.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\u00bfVan a ir al cine? Nosotros tambi\u00e9n queremos ir. Are you guys going to the movies? We want to go too.\u00a0\n\n\n\nWhen to Use A M\u00ed Tambi\u00e9n in Spanish\n\n\n\nSimilar to yo tambi\u00e9n, a m\u00ed tambi\u00e9n also expresses agreement with a positive statement. However, the main difference is that a m\u00ed tambi\u00e9n can only respond to statements where you are the indirect object of the sentence, including verbs like gustar.\u00a0\n\n\n\nA m\u00ed tambi\u00e9n me encantan las flores.\u00a0 I also like flowers.\u00a0\n\n\n\nA Lorena le interesa la pintura. A m\u00ed tambi\u00e9n.\u00a0 Lorena is interested in painting. Me too.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\u00bfTe hablaron de la oficina? A m\u00ed tambi\u00e9n, \u00bfsabes qu\u00e9 pas\u00f3? Did the office call you? They called me too. Do you know what happened?\n\n\n\nTake Note: M\u00ed is a prepositional pronoun in Spanish. These are pronouns we place after prepositions, such as a. \n\n\n\nWhen to Use Tambi\u00e9n and Tampoco\n\n\n\nAs shown in the previous sections, tambi\u00e9n conveys agreement with positive statements. On the other hand, tampoco (neither) shows agreement with a negative sentence. \n\n\n\n\u00bfNo quieres ir a trabajar? Yo tampoco.\u00a0 You don\u2019t want to go to work? Me neither.\u00a0\n\n\n\nA Lalo no le gustan los gatos. A m\u00ed tampoco.\u00a0 Lalo doesn\u2019t like cats. Me neither.\n\n\n\nLaura no come carne. T\u00fa tampoco, \u00bfverdad? Laura doesn\u2019t eat meat. Neither do you, right?\u00a0\n\n\n\nA nosotros no nos interesan los deportes y a ellas tampoco.\u00a0 We\u2019re not interested in sports and neither are they.\u00a0\n\n\n\nExpress disagreement in Spanish\n\n\n\nWhen combined with subject and prepositional pronouns, the words s\u00ed and no are used to express disagreement. In this context, s\u00ed disagrees with a negative statement:\n\n\n\n\u00bfNo te gustan los gatos? \u00a1A nosotros s\u00ed! \u00a1Nos encantan! You don\u2019t like cats? We do! We love them!\n\n\n\nMi mam\u00e1 no trabaja los s\u00e1bados, pero yo s\u00ed.\u00a0 My mom doesn\u2019t work on Saturdays, but I do.\u00a0\n\n\n\nNo disagrees with an affirmative statement:\n\n\n\nJulieta habla tres idiomas. Yo no, yo hablo dos.\u00a0 Julieta speaks three languages. I don\u2019t, I speak two.\u00a0\n\n\n\nA mi hermano le dieron un carro nuevo. A m\u00ed no me dieron nada.\u00a0 They gave my brother a new car. They didn\u2019t give me anything.\u00a0\n\n\n\nTake Note: With words to express agreement and disagreement, we use subject pronouns when somebody performs the action. However, we must use prepositional pronouns if the person is the indirect object in the sentence.

However, in Spanish, volver implies that a person returns to a place or repeats an action. Regresar also expresses that someone returns somewhere, but, unlike volver, it also relates to returning something.\u00a0\n\n\n\nCuando regres\u00e9 a mi casa volv\u00ed a ver la pel\u00edcula.\u00a0 When I came back to my house I saw the movie again.\u00a0\n\n\n\nVolvimos a la tienda a regresar unos zapatos.\u00a0 We went back to the store to return some shoes.\u00a0\n\n\n\nVolver vs Regresar Key Points\n\n\n\n\u2018Volver\u2019 and \u2018regresar\u2019 are synonyms when talking about returning to a place.\u00a0With this meaning, both verbs work with the preposition \u2018a\u2019 and nouns.\u00a0\u2018Regresar\u2019 also refers to returning something to someone.\u00a0Use volver + a + infinitive to express that an action is being repeated.\u00a0This structure is translated as \u2018again\u2019.\u00a0\u2018Volver\u2019 is not an irregular verb, but rather a stem-changing verb (O to UE).\u00a0Although it\u2019s a derivative of \u2018volver\u2019, \u2018devolver\u2019 mainly refers to returning an object.\u00a0\n\n\n\nUnderstanding volver vs regresar is key for communication since they\u2019re two of the most common Spanish verbs you must know. Below, you\u2019ll learn exactly how and when to use them. \n\n\n\nWhen to Use Volver in Spanish\n\n\n\nIn Spanish, the verb volver communicates that a person is returning to a certain place. To specify the location someone is returning to, we must use the structure volver + a + noun. \n\n\n\n[Volver conjugated] a + [determiner] + [noun]\n\n\n\nAshley vuelve ma\u00f1ana a la oficina.\u00a0 Ashley comes back tomorrow to the office.\n\n\n\nNunca volver\u00eda a ese restaurante.\u00a0 I\u2019d never return to that restaurant.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\u00bfTe vas ma\u00f1ana? Y, \u00bfcu\u00e1ndo vuelves? You\u2019re leaving tomorrow? And when will you come again?\n\n\n\nAs you can see in example #3, the preposition a is not required if the place is omitted.\n\n\n\nRefer to repeating actions\n\n\n\nOne of the most important applications of volver is to express that someone performs an action again. \n\n\n\n[Volver conjugated] a + [infinitive verb]\n\n\n\n\u00bfCu\u00e1ndo vuelves a venir? When do you come again?\n\n\n\nVoy a volver a marcar en cinco minutos.\u00a0 I\u2019m calling again in five minutes.\u00a0\n\n\n\nNo s\u00e9 cu\u00e1ndo volver\u00e9 a verla.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know when I\u2019ll see her again.\u00a0\n\n\n\nAlthough they look similar, devolver and volver are not synonyms. Unlike volver, the verb devolver is used to talk about returning something to a place or another person. \n\n\n\nJuan nunca me devolvi\u00f3 mi dinero.\u00a0 Juan never returned my money.\u00a0\n\n\n\nTengo hasta el viernes para devolver estos zapatos.\u00a0 I have until Friday to return these shoes.\u00a0\n\n\n\nTake Note: Even though they have different uses, these verbs share similar conjugation patterns. The conjugations of volver and devolver involve an O to UE stem change in the present tense. \n\n\n\nWhen to Use Regresar in Spanish?\n\n\n\nJust like volver, regresar is also used to indicate that a person returns to a location:\n\n\n\n[Regresar conjugated] + a + [place]\n\n\n\n\u00bfCu\u00e1ndo regresas a M\u00e9xico? When are you coming back to Mexico?\n\n\n\nAdriana regres\u00f3 al banco por sus papeles. Adriana returned to the bank for her papers.\n\n\n\n\u00bfNo te gustar\u00eda regresar a la escuela? You wouldn\u2019t like to return to school?\n\n\n\nWhen combined with the preposition de, \u2018regresar\u2019 communicates that a person is returning from an activity or place:\n\n\n\n[Regresar conjugated] + de + [infinitive\/noun]\n\n\n\n\u00bfA qu\u00e9 hora regresan de trabajar?\u00a0 What time do you return from work?\n\n\n\nLuc\u00eda regresa de la oficina a las cinco.\u00a0 Lucia returns from the office at five.\u00a0\n\n\n\nA key differentiator between volver and regresar is that the latter is used to talk about returning something:\n\n\n\n\u00a1Regr\u00e9same la camisa que te prest\u00e9! Give me back the shirt that I lent you!\u00a0\n\n\n\nMa\u00f1ana te regreso tu dinero. I\u2019ll return your money tomorrow.\u00a0\n\n\n\nTiene veinte d\u00edas para regresar su compra.\u00a0 You have twenty days to return your purchase.","headline":"Volver vs Regresar: Quick Differences + Real 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\/06\/Volver-vs-Regresar-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> <nav class="pagination-wrapper" aria-label="article pagination"> <span aria-current="page" class="page-numbers current"><span class="screen-reader-text">Page </span>1</span> <a class="page-numbers" href="?page_num=2"><span class="screen-reader-text">Page </span>2</a> <a class="page-numbers" href="?page_num=3"><span class="screen-reader-text">Page </span>3</a> <span class="page-numbers dots">…</span> <a class="page-numbers" href="?page_num=17"><span class="screen-reader-text">Page </span>17</a> <a class="next page-numbers" href="?page_num=2">NEXT »</a></nav> </section> </main><!-- #main --> <aside id="secondary" class="widget-area"> <div class="about-wrapper"> <h2 class="widget-title">About the Author</h2> <div data-bg="https://www.tellmeinspanish.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/12419275_10153370688196472_3193377539784491038_o-e1559946207118.jpg" class="about-image rocket-lazyload" style=""></div> <p class="about-copy">¡Hola!
