Key Grammar Structures

• Agárrate a mi poesía

  ➔ Affirmative Imperative with Reflexive Pronoun (Tú form)

  ➔ The verb "agarrarse" means "to hold on" or "to cling". In the imperative ""agárrate"", the reflexive pronoun ""te"" is attached to the end of the verb, indicating that the action is performed by the subject "tú" (you) upon itself. The accent mark is added to maintain the original stress of the verb.

• Quiero estar, quiero estar

  ➔ Verb "Querer" + Infinitive

  ➔ This construction uses the verb ""querer"" (to want) followed by an infinitive verb (""estar"" - to be). It expresses desire, intention, or a wish to perform the action of the infinitive.

• Mi corazón no se regala

  ➔ Passive Voice with "se" (Pasiva Refleja / Impersonal "se")

  ➔ This is an example of the passive voice formed with ""se"" (pasiva refleja). The action (""regala"" - is given away/gifted) is performed on the object ("Mi corazón" - my heart) without specifying the agent. It implies "My heart is not given away (by anyone)". The verb is conjugated in the third person singular, agreeing with "Mi corazón".

• Te quiero más que nada

  ➔ Direct Object Pronoun + Comparative/Superlative Phrase

  ➔ ""Te"" is a direct object pronoun, meaning "you" (informal singular), placed before the conjugated verb ""quiero"" (I want/love). ""Más que nada"" is a comparative phrase meaning "more than anything", functioning idiomatically as a superlative.

• Tú me seduciste

  ➔ Preterite Tense

  ➔ The verb ""seduciste"" is in the preterite tense (pretérito indefinido), indicating a completed action in the past at a specific point in time. ""Tú"" is the subject pronoun, and ""me"" is the direct object pronoun meaning "me".

• Que aqui esta presente

  ➔ Verb "Estar" for Location/State

  ➔ The verb ""esta"" (correctly "está" with accent) is the third person singular conjugation of ""estar"". It is used here to indicate a temporary state or location (""presente"" - present/here). It contrasts with "ser," which is used for permanent characteristics or identities.

• Cuando te acercas a mi

  ➔ Subordinate Clause of Time ("Cuando")

  ➔ ""Cuando"" (when) introduces a subordinate clause of time, indicating the moment or circumstance in which the main action occurs. ""Te acercas"" is a reflexive verb meaning "you approach".

• No hay otra manera

  ➔ Impersonal Verb "Haber" ("hay")

  ➔ ""Hay"" is the impersonal form of the verb ""haber"" (to have/to be) in the present tense. It means "there is" or "there are" and is always used in the third person singular, regardless of the number of the noun it refers to. ""No hay"" means "there isn't/aren't any".

• Debe saber que

  ➔ Modal Verb "Deber" + Infinitive

  ➔ The modal verb ""deber"" (to must/should) followed by an infinitive verb (""saber"" - to know) expresses obligation, necessity, or strong probability. ""Debe saber"" means "must know" or "should know".
