Key Grammar Structures
-
¡Hoy vamos a preparar un aperitivo que yo creo que no necesita ni presentación!
➔ Future tense (ir a + infinitive); Subjunctive mood (necesita)
➔ "Vamos a preparar" indicates a near future action. "No necesita" uses the subjunctive because it's part of a "que" clause expressing an opinion or belief ("yo creo que"). Although indicative is often used after "creer", the negative "no creo que" typically requires the subjunctive.
-
lo que vamos a hacer con él es cortarlo en tiras de alrededor de 2cm de grosor
➔ Relative pronoun "lo que"; Periphrastic future (ir a + infinitive)
➔ "Lo que" functions as a relative pronoun referring to a general idea or action. "Vamos a hacer" is again the periphrastic future, indicating a plan or intention.
-
que queden con un tamaño similar al dedo índice
➔ Subjunctive mood (queden) in a relative clause expressing a characteristic.
➔ The use of "queden" (subjunctive) is because the relative clause ("que queden con un tamaño similar al dedo índice") describes a desired or hypothetical characteristic of the cheese strips. The subjunctive is often used in relative clauses that define or qualify something in a non-specific way.
-
una vez preparado el queso vamos a poner huevo en un plato hondo
➔ Past participle as an adjective (preparado)
➔ "Preparado" is the past participle of "preparar" and functions as an adjective modifying "el queso". It describes the state of the cheese.
-
y con un tenedor le damos "zapatilla" durante unos segundos y lo batimos bien
➔ Indirect Object Pronoun (le)
➔ "Le damos zapatilla" translates to "we give it a beating". "Le" is an indirect object pronoun referring to "el huevo" (the egg). It indicates to whom or for whom the action is performed.
-
después y uno a uno vamos a mojar bien de huevo los palitos de queso
➔ Order of words, "mojar bien DE huevo" means in egg very well
➔ The normal structure would be in english "dip well the cheese sticks in the egg" , you can use DE if you say "Well of egg", but this is an option in Spanish
-
con ésto de pasarlo dos veces por huevo y por pan rallado tendremos una capa exterior super crujiente
➔ Future simple (tendremos) expressing a consequence; "Con ésto de" indicating a reason or condition.
➔ "Tendremos" indicates the result of the repeated coating process. "Con ésto de" introduces the reason why that result will happen.
