Key Grammar Structures
-
En las malas yo suelo estar
➔ Suelo + Infinitive (habitual action)
➔ Uses "suelo" followed by the infinitive "estar" to express a habitual action: "I usually am" in bad times. It emphasizes the speaker's tendency to be present during difficult situations.
-
Si estoy mal, pos, yo ando solo
➔ Conditional Clause (Si + Present Subjunctive / Indicative + Main Clause)
➔ This is a conditional sentence. "Si estoy mal" (If I am bad) sets the condition, and "yo ando solo" (I walk alone) is the result. The use of the present indicative "estoy" implies a possible or likely condition.
-
Tú te fuiste rápido a ese porque te piensas que no valoro
➔ Relative Clause (que + Subjunctive/Indicative)
➔ The phrase "que no valoro" is a relative clause modifying the implied noun. It explains why the person left quickly. The use of indicative suggests the speaker believes it to be a fact that they don't value the other person.
-
Problemas me tienen ciego
➔ Tener + Adjective (to have someone/something in a certain state)
➔ "Me tienen ciego" uses "tener" to describe the state the speaker is in due to the problems. It means "problems have me blind", expressing a strong emotional or psychological impact.
-
¿Dónde están los que dicen que estarían cuando no hay nada?
➔ Indirect Question / Relative Clause with Future Conditional (estarían)
➔ This line contains both an indirect question and a relative clause. "¿Dónde están los que dicen...?" is an indirect question. The clause "que estarían cuando no hay nada" uses the conditional tense "estarían" to describe what those people *would* be doing if there was nothing. This implies doubt or unfulfillment of that promise.
-
¿Dónde están los que dicen que por ti tiran puño' y bala'?
➔ Relative Clause (que + Present Indicative) and Idiomatic Expression
➔ "que por ti tiran puño' y bala'" is a relative clause. "Tirar puño' y bala'" is an idiomatic expression meaning they would fight for you, using fists and bullets. The present indicative "tiran" implies a hypothetical situation they supposedly *would* do, but haven't.
-
Te quiere arriba pa que te duela si toca' el suelo
➔ Purpose Clause (para que + Subjunctive), Conditional Clause (si + Present Indicative)
➔ "Para que te duela si toca' el suelo" has a purpose clause introduced by "para que". "Te duela" is in the subjunctive because it expresses the purpose of the action. The "si toca' el suelo" part is a conditional clause, stating what will happen "if" you hit the ground (fall from grace).
-
Yo sí lo perdono, pero no olvido
➔ Use of "sí" for emphasis and Contrast (pero)
➔ The word "sí" is used to emphasize the action of forgiving. Without it, the sentence would simply say "I forgive it". The addition of "sí" stresses the act of forgiveness. The "pero" introduces a contrast, indicating that while forgiving, forgetting is not possible.
