Key Grammar Structures
-
Pues, la verdad, no hay otra cosa que yo pueda hacer
➔ Subjunctive mood (''pueda hacer'') after ''no hay''
➔ The subjunctive is used here because ''no hay otra cosa'' expresses doubt or uncertainty. It emphasizes the lack of alternatives. ''Pueda hacer'' is the subjunctive form of ''poder'' (to be able to) in the first person singular.
-
¿Seguirás pensando? ¿Que puedes jugar a pedir sin nada dar?
➔ ''Que'' introducing a subordinate clause expressing the content of ''pensando''
➔ The conjunction ''que'' introduces a subordinate clause that clarifies what the subject is thinking about. It's common to use ''que'' to link a verb of thinking or believing to the content of that thought or belief. The phrase ''sin nada dar'' means 'without giving anything'.
-
Pues, ahora no estaré esperando
➔ Future progressive/continuous tense (''estaré esperando'')
➔ The future progressive (''estaré esperando'') emphasizes that the speaker will *not* be in the process of waiting in the future. It expresses a decision to cease an action that was ongoing or expected.
-
Si no quieres regresar, ¿Por qué vuelves buscarme, una vez más?
➔ Conditional clause (''Si no quieres regresar'') and its consequence expressed in a question.
➔ This sentence uses a conditional clause (''Si no quieres regresar'', 'If you don't want to come back') to set up a hypothetical situation. The consequence of that situation is then presented as a question (''¿Por qué vuelves buscarme, una vez más?'', 'Why do you come back to look for me, once again?'). This structure highlights the speaker's confusion and frustration.
-
No me pidas que te dé una última noche
➔ Subjunctive mood (''dé'') after the request ''No me pidas que...''
➔ When expressing a request, command, or suggestion using ''pedir que'' (to ask that), the verb in the subordinate clause must be in the subjunctive mood. ''Dé'' is the subjunctive form of ''dar'' (to give).
-
Alejarte para luego exigir Que te quiera como si nada
➔ ''Como si'' + subjunctive (''quisiera'') expressing a hypothetical situation contrary to fact.
➔ The phrase ''como si'' (as if) introduces a clause that describes a hypothetical situation that is not true in reality. When ''como si'' is used, the verb in the clause that follows is always in the subjunctive mood. In this case, ''quisiera'' is the imperfect subjunctive of ''querer'' (to want/love). It implies that the speaker *doesn't* feel as if nothing has happened.
