Key Grammar Structures
-
Anocheció y la noche fue testigo de como nuestros ojos lloraban lagrimas de amor
➔ Past Simple/Preterite (Anocheció) and use of 'como' expressing manner
➔ "Anocheció" is the preterite (simple past) of "anochecer", meaning 'night fell'. "De como" introduces how the eyes were crying. The emphasis is on the action happening in the past and the manner in which it occurred.
-
A veces las cosas no salen como uno quiere
➔ Subjunctive mood with 'querer' and use of 'como' as 'as/how'
➔ The use of subjunctive after "como uno quiere" implies uncertainty or desire. Here, it expresses that things don't always go as one wishes. "Quiere" is in the subjunctive because it follows "como" in a context of desire.
-
me hice planes de no volverte a ver
➔ Use of 'a' before infinitive 'ver' indicating purpose/intention after 'volverte'
➔ The preposition "a" links the verb "volverte" (to see you again) with the infinitive "ver" (to see), indicating the *purpose* or intention behind making plans. It means: I made plans not to see you again.
-
que cuanto mas te besaba mas ganas tenia de volverte a ver
➔ Correlative Structure: 'Cuanto...mas...mas' expressing increase in proportion
➔ This sentence uses the correlative structure "cuanto...más...más" to show that the more he kissed her, the more he wanted to see her again. It expresses a direct proportional relationship between kissing and wanting to see her.
-
necesito mas de tu manos que al rozar mi piel me dejaron entrever como es el amor por dentro
➔ Relative clause with "que", and the use of "entrever" (to glimpse/ hint at).
➔ The "que" introduces a relative clause describing the hands. "Entrever" suggests that the touch of her hands gave him a glimpse or hint of what love is like inside.
