Key Grammar Structures
-
Miro tus ojos y no eres feliz
➔ Use of "ser" vs. "estar" with adjectives.
➔ "Feliz" uses "ser" because it describes a general characteristic. If it was a temporary state, "estar" would be used. "No eres feliz" means "You are not happy" in general.
-
No tiene caso continuar así
➔ Impersonal expression "No tiene caso + infinitive".
➔ "No tiene caso" means "it's no use", "it's pointless" or "there's no point". Here it is followed by the infinitive verb "continuar".
-
Si no me amas, es mejor partir
➔ Conditional sentences type 1: "Si" + present indicative, future indicative/imperative.
➔ This is a first conditional. The "si" clause expresses a possible condition in the present, and the main clause expresses a likely outcome in the future. While "es mejor partir" uses the subjunctive by implication (it *would be* better), it's a common construction in this context.
-
Desde hace tiempo ya nada es igual
➔ Expression "Desde hace + time period" to indicate duration.
➔ "Desde hace tiempo" means "for some time" or "for a while". It indicates how long something has been happening or has been the case.
-
Y ante mi Dios te podría jurar
➔ Conditional simple tense (podría + infinitive).
➔ "Podría jurar" means "I could swear". It expresses a possibility or a polite suggestion/offer. In this context, it strengthens the statement.
-
Cuánto te quise y te quiero, todavía
➔ Use of "cuánto" to express quantity/intensity.
➔ "Cuánto" is used to emphasize the amount of love: "How much I loved you and still love you".
-
Me iré sin marcha atrás porque sería fatal
➔ Conditional simple tense (sería + adjective)
➔ "Sería fatal" means "it would be fatal". It expresses a hypothetical consequence in the future if he were to go back.
-
Lo dijiste una vez, me lo hiciste creer
➔ Use of double object pronouns.
➔ "Me lo hiciste creer" uses two object pronouns: "me" (indirect object) and "lo" (direct object, referring to what she said). The indirect object comes before the direct object.
-
Me resignaré a olvidarte
➔ Use of reflexive verb + "a" + infinitive.
➔ "Resignarse a" means "to resign oneself to" or "to accept". The reflexive pronoun "me" indicates that the subject is resigning *himself* to something. Here, he is resigning himself to forgetting her.
