Key Grammar Structures

• Me queda bien cuando me mienten

  ➔ Reflexive verb "quedar" + adverb "bien" + "cuando" clause

  ➔ "Quedar bien" means "to suit me" or "to look good on me". "Cuando me mienten" means "when they lie to me." This is using the conditional to express a sense of something being okay or suitable in a certain circumstance. The implication is that even when lied to, the speaker is unfazed.

• Se me hace más fácil afrontar esa vida

  ➔ Impersonal construction "se me hace" + adjective "fácil" + infinitive "afrontar"

  ➔ "Se me hace más fácil" translates to "It becomes easier for me." This is an impersonal construction. "Afrontar esa vida" means "to face that life." This structure focuses on the feeling or the effect on the speaker rather than attributing the action to a specific subject.

• Porque no toleran vernos tan arriba

  ➔ "Porque" clause indicating reason, verb "tolerar" + infinitive "vernos" + adverb "tan" + adjective "arriba"

  ➔ "Porque" introduces the reason: "Because". "No toleran" means "they don't tolerate". "Vernos tan arriba" means "seeing us so high (up)". "Tan" is used to intensify the adjective "arriba."

• ¿Que quién me creo que soy?

  ➔ Indirect question using "que" + interrogative pronoun "quién" + reflexive verb "creerse"

  ➔ This is an indirect question. Literally, it translates to: "Who do I believe that I am?". "Creerse" (to believe oneself to be) is used reflexively here.

• Cada liga tiene su Jordan, es obvio que yo soy el de la mía

  ➔ Possessive adjective "su", impersonal "es obvio que" + subordinate clause with "que", use of "el de" + possessive pronoun "mía" to replace a noun

  ➔ "Cada liga tiene su Jordan" - "Each league has its Jordan." "Es obvio que yo soy el de la mía" - "It's obvious that I am the one of mine (league)". Here, "el de la mía" replaces "el Jordan de mi liga." This demonstrates a more advanced understanding of pronoun usage for brevity and stylistic effect.

• ¿Que cómo me van a bajar?

  ➔ Indirect question using "que" + adverb "cómo" + verb phrase "van a bajar" (future tense)

  ➔ Indirect question: "How are they going to bring me down?". The use of "ir a + infinitive" expresses future tense.
