Key Grammar Structures

• Cierra tus ojos, que todo va a estar bien.

  ➔ subordinating conjunction "que" introducing a result clause

  ➔ The word "que" links the command to a future reassurance: "que todo va a estar bien".

• Cierra tus ojos que todo va a estar bien.

  ➔ future periphrasis "ir + a + infinitive" (va a estar)

  ➔ The construction "va a estar" expresses a near‑future state: "todo va a estar bien" (everything will be fine).

• Ciérralos, duérmete.

  ➔ imperative with enclitic direct‑object pronouns (‑los, ‑te)

  ➔ "Ciérralos" attaches the direct‑object pronoun "los" to the verb "cierra"; "duérmete" attaches "te" to "duérme".

• Piénsalo, mija, tú estás bien.

  ➔ imperative with enclitic pronoun "lo"; vocative expression "mija"; emphatic subject pronoun "tú"

  ➔ In "Piénsalo", the pronoun "lo" is attached to the verb "piensa"; "mija" is an affectionate address; "tú" stresses that the listener is okay.

• Tú estás bien.

  ➔ emphatic personal pronoun "tú" used for contrast or reassurance

  ➔ The pronoun "tú" is placed before the verb to stress that "you" are fine.

• todo va a estar bien.

  ➔ indefinite pronoun "todo" as subject; future periphrasis "va a estar"

  ➔ The word "todo" means “everything”; the whole clause "todo va a estar bien" predicts a positive future.

• Ciérralos

  ➔ "Ciérralos" means “close them”; the pronoun "los" is attached to the verb "cierra".
