Key Grammar Structures

• Me perdí caminando por Madrid

  ➔ Preterite tense (Perdí) and gerund (caminando)

  ➔ "Me perdí" uses the preterite to express a completed action in the past. "Caminando" functions as an adverb describing how the speaker got lost.

• Confundí, viviendo en lo superficial

  ➔ Preterite tense (Confundí) and gerund (viviendo)

  ➔ Again, "Confundí" uses preterite. "Viviendo" is used as a gerund modifying the verb, providing context about the speaker's state.

• Y luego vi una luz brillante

  ➔ Preterite tense (Vi)

  ➔ "Vi" is the simple past tense, describing a single completed action.

• Que desde lejos me dijo: "ven"

  ➔ Preterite tense (Dijo) and imperative (ven)

  ➔ "Dijo" is past tense. "Ven" is an imperative, a command or request.

• Eran tus ojos como diamantes

  ➔ Imperfect tense (Eran) and simile (como diamantes)

  ➔ "Eran" describes a state in the past using imperfect tense. "Como diamantes" creates a simile to describe the eyes.

• Cada segundo me enamoro más si a mi lado estás

  ➔ Present tense (enamoro, estás) and conditional clause (si...estás)

  ➔ "Enamoro" and "estás" are both present tense. "Si a mi lado estás" is a conditional clause indicating that the speaker's love increases if the other person is by their side.

• Solo así, perdiendo todo comprendí

  ➔ Gerund (perdiendo) and preterite (comprendí)

  ➔ "Perdiendo" functions as a gerund, describing the way the speaker came to understand something. "Comprendí" is in the preterite, a completed action.

• Que no tenía valor sin ti

  ➔ Imperfect tense (tenía) and prepositional phrase (sin ti)

  ➔ "Tenía" uses imperfect to describe a state or condition in the past. "Sin ti" is a prepositional phrase indicating the condition under which something lacked value.
