Key Grammar Structures

• No me arrepiento de este amor

  ➔ Reflexive Verb + Preposition 'de'

  ➔ 'Arrepentirse' is a reflexive verb (me arrepiento = I regret myself, but it translates to I regret). The 'de' indicates what you regret. 'Este amor' is the object of the preposition.

• Aunque me cueste el corazón

  ➔ Subjunctive mood after 'aunque'

  ➔ 'Aunque' (although) often triggers the subjunctive mood when expressing a hypothetical or uncertain situation. 'Cueste' is the subjunctive form of 'costar'.

• Amar es un milagro y yo te amé

  ➔ Past Simple (Preterite) for a completed action in the past

  ➔ 'Amé' (I loved) is the past simple (preterite) of 'amar'. It signifies a completed action in the past.

• Como nunca jamás lo imaginé

  ➔ Adverbial phrase of emphasis 'nunca jamás'

  ➔ 'Nunca jamás' is a double negative used for emphasis, meaning 'never ever'.

• ¿Quién va a arrancarme de tu piel?

  ➔ Future Periphrastic ('ir a' + infinitive) in a rhetorical question

  ➔ 'Va a arrancarme' is the periphrastic future of 'arrancar' (to tear away). 'Ir a + infinitive' is used to express a future action. Here it's used in a rhetorical question to emphasize the speaker's conviction that no one can separate them.

• Yo siento que la vida se nos va

  ➔ Use of 'se' as an indicator of an impersonal verb

  ➔ In this sentence, 'se nos va' means 'is going away from us', but the 'se' subtly implies a natural process or something that happens without a direct agent. It's not that someone *is taking* our life away, but that life *is fading* (from us).

• Nuestra cama espera abierta

  ➔ Adjective agreement with gender and number (abierta agreeing with cama)

  ➔ 'Abierta' (open) is an adjective that describes 'cama' (bed). Since 'cama' is feminine singular, 'abierta' must also be feminine singular to agree.

• Vamos remontando al cielo

  ➔ Gerundio ('remontando') used to express an action in progress

  ➔ 'Remontando' is the gerund form of 'remontar' (to ascend). When used with 'vamos', it describes an action in progress: 'we are ascending' or 'we are rising'.
