Key Grammar Structures

  • Ella se ha cansao de tirar la toalla

    ➔ Present Perfect of 'cansar' with 'de' + infinitive.

    ➔ Expresses that she has gotten tired of throwing in the towel. The phrase "se ha cansao" is a colloquial shortening of "se ha cansado". "De tirar la toalla" means 'of giving up'.

  • Hoy vas a descubrir que el mundo es solo para ti

    ➔ Future simple with 'ir a' + infinitive ('vas a descubrir'). Use of 'que' introducing a subordinate clause.

    ➔ This expresses a future action (you are going to discover). The 'que' introduces a noun clause acting as the object of 'descubrir'.

  • Que nadie puede hacerte daño, nadie puede hacerte daño

    ➔ Use of 'nadie' (nobody) as subject. Modal verb 'poder' (can) + infinitive 'hacer'.

    ➔ 'Nadie' is a negative pronoun and requires a negative understanding. The modal verb 'poder' indicates the ability to do something.

  • Hoy vas a comprender que el miedo se puede romper con un solo portazo

    ➔ Passive voice with 'se' + verb ('se puede romper'). 'Con' + noun indicating means.

    ➔ The 'se' construction indicates that the fear can be broken (it is being broken). 'Con un solo portazo' specifies the means by which the fear is broken (with a single slam of the door).

  • Hoy vas a hacer reír porque tus ojos se han cansado de ser llanto

    ➔ 'Hacer' + infinitive ('hacer reír') expressing causation. Present Perfect of 'cansar' with 'de' + infinitive.

    ➔ 'Vas a hacer reír' means 'you are going to make laugh' (cause to laugh). The second part means 'because your eyes have tired of being crying'.

  • Hoy vas a ser la mujer que te dé la gana de ser

    ➔ Subjunctive mood ('dé') in a relative clause dependent on an indefinite antecedent ('la mujer').

    ➔ Because 'la mujer' is being defined by what the woman wants to be, and it is not a known, specific woman, the subjunctive is used. 'Te dé la gana' means 'you feel like'.

  • Hoy te vas a querer como nadie te ha sabi'o querer

    ➔ Future simple with 'ir a' + infinitive ('vas a querer'). Present Perfect of 'saber' ('ha sabi'o'), colloquial shortening of 'ha sabido'.

    ➔ This expresses a future action (you are going to love yourself). The 'como nadie te ha sabi'o querer' means like nobody has known how to love you. The 'sabi'o' is a colloquial way to say 'sabido'.

  • Hoy vas a mirar pa'lante, que pa'trás ya te dolió bastante

    ➔ Future Simple with 'ir a' + infinitive ('vas a mirar'). Use of colloquial abbreviations ('pa'lante', 'pa'trás'). Preterite indefinite 'dolió'.

    ➔ 'Vas a mirar pa'lante' means 'You are going to look forward'. 'Pa'lante' and 'pa'trás' are colloquial shortenings of 'para adelante' and 'para atrás'. 'Ya te dolió bastante' means it hurt you enough already.
