Key Grammar Structures

• Apunta, dispara

  ➔ Imperative mood

  ➔ These are commands. "Apunta" means "Aim" and "dispara" means "Shoot". The imperative mood is used to give direct orders or instructions.

• Yo pongo el pecho a la bala

  ➔ Present simple tense

  ➔ "Yo pongo" is the first person singular present tense of the verb "poner" (to put, to place). It's used to express a general truth or an action happening now. Literally, "I put my chest to the bullet", meaning "I face the bullet."

• Pero como muerde la almohada

  ➔ Subjunctive mood (implied)

  ➔ While the verb "muerde" is in the indicative, the "como" introduces an element of comparison and exaggeration. The sentence hints at the intensity or manner of the biting of the pillow, as if it were more than just a regular action. There's a sense of an implied subjunctive, particularly if it were rephrased as "Cómo muerda la almohada!"

• Es que esa nena está muy buena y me fascina

  ➔ Emphasis with "es que"

  ➔ "Es que" introduces an explanation or a reason. It's used to emphasize the following statement. Here, it emphasizes why the speaker is so captivated.

• Te quiero encima, nada encima

  ➔ Use of pronouns and ellipsis

  ➔ "Te quiero" uses the direct object pronoun "te" (you). The second "encima" omits the verb, creating a contrast and highlighting the desire for closeness, emphasizing "nothing else".

• Ya rompimos la tarima

  ➔ Preterite (perfect) tense

  ➔ "Rompimos" is the first person plural preterite form of the verb "romper" (to break). It indicates a completed action in the past. It translates to "We broke the stage."

• Después nos volvimo' a ver

  ➔ Preterite tense and reflexive verb

  ➔ "Volvimo'" is a shortened version of "volvimos", which is the first person plural preterite of "volver" (to return) with a reflexive pronoun. "Volverse a ver" means "to see each other again." The preterite indicates a completed action in the past.

• Está perreándome hasta abajo

  ➔ Present continuous tense with a slang verb

  ➔ "Está perreándome" is the present continuous form of the verb "perrear" (to twerk or dance suggestively) with an object pronoun attached. The present continuous describes an ongoing action. "Hasta abajo" means "all the way down", emphasizing the intensity of the dance.
