Key Grammar Structures

• Aún no lo hemos hecho, pero falta poquito.

  ➔ Present Perfect Compound & Impersonal Verbs

  ➔ "Hemos hecho" indicates an action completed in the past with relevance to the present. "Falta" is an impersonal verb indicating something is missing or there's little left.

• Te tendría en Christian Dior, Balenciaga o CHANEL

  ➔ Simple Conditional

  ➔ The "Simple Conditional" is used to express hypothetical situations, desires, or polite requests. Here, "tendría" means "I would have/keep you."

• Pero lo que tengo es celos,

  ➔ Neutral Relative Pronoun 'Lo que' & Emphatic Structure

  ➔ "Lo que" functions as "that which" or "what," referring to an abstract idea. The structure "Lo que + verb + es + noun/adjective" is used to emphasize the information being conveyed.

• Quisiera que al chingarte digas mi nombre de pila.

  ➔ Polite use of 'Quisiera' & Present Subjunctive

  ➔ "Quisiera" (imperfect subjunctive of "querer") is a polite way to express a wish or desire, meaning "I would like." It's followed by "que" and a verb in the "present subjunctive" when the wish concerns another subject's action.

• Hacértelo sería un orgullo

  ➔ Infinitive as Subject & Combination of Object Pronouns

  ➔ The infinitive "Hacer" functions as the subject of the sentence, meaning "To do it to you." The pronouns "te" (indirect object pronoun for "you") and "lo" (direct object pronoun for "it") are attached to the infinitive in this specific order.

• Ella no quiere que la vele.

  ➔ Verbs of Will or Influence with Subjunctive

  ➔ Verbs expressing desire, will, or influence (like "querer") followed by "que" require the "subjunctive mood" in the dependent clause when the subject of the main verb is different from the subject of the subordinate verb.

  ➔ Conditional Sentences Type 1

  ➔ "Conditional sentences Type 1" describe real or highly probable situations and their likely outcomes. The structure is typically "Si + present indicative, present indicative / future indicative / imperative." Here, "Si + present indicative, present indicative" is used.

• pero al verte se me pasa.

  ➔ Preposition 'Al' + Infinitive & Pronominal Verb

  ➔ The construction "al" + "infinitive" means "upon" or "when" an action occurs. "Se me pasa" uses a pronominal verb ("pasarse") with an indirect object pronoun ("me") to indicate that something (like jealousy) goes away or dissipates for the speaker.

• Dile a ese cabrón que no se pegue mucho y deje la confianza.

  ➔ Imperatives & Subjunctive in Indirect Commands

  ➔ "Dile" and "deje" are direct "imperative" commands. "Que no se pegue" is an indirect command, where a verb of command (implied by "Dile") is followed by "que" and a verb in the "subjunctive mood" to express what someone is told to do or not to do.
