Key Grammar Structures

• ¿Qué horas son?

  ➔ Interrogative pronoun + Verb 'ser' (plural)

  ➔ Use "Qué" to ask for time. We use "son" (plural) because "horas" is plural.

• Te lo dije bien clarito.

  ➔ Direct and Indirect Object Pronouns (Preterite tense)

  ➔ "Te" (indirect) + "lo" (direct) refer to 'you' and 'it/the thing'. "Dije" is the irregular past tense of 'decir'.

• Me gustan los aviones.

  ➔ Verb 'gustar' with plural subject

  ➔ Since "aviones" is plural, the verb must be "gustan". "Me" is the indirect object pronoun.

• ¿Qué voy a hacer?

  ➔ Periphrastic future (Ir + a + infinitive)

  ➔ This construction is used to express immediate intention. "Voy" is the conjugated form of "ir".

• Je ne sais pas

  ➔ Negative construction (French negation)

  ➔ Manu Chao uses "ne ... pas" to negate the verb "sais" (to know).

• Me gusta la montaña

  ➔ Verb 'gustar' with singular subject

  ➔ Since "montaña" is singular, the verb "gusta" is used in its singular form.

• No todo lo que es oro brilla

  ➔ Relative clause with 'lo que'

  ➔ "Lo que" acts as a neuter relative pronoun meaning 'that which' or 'what'.
