Key Grammar Structures
-
AY SE ESTÁ ACABANDO MI TIEMPO A TU LAO
➔ Impersonal/Reflexive 'se' + Present Progressive
➔ The "se" here is used to form an impersonal construction, indicating that "time is running out" generally, without specifying a clear agent. Combined with "estar + gerundio," it forms the present progressive, emphasizing an ongoing action. "Lao" is a colloquial shortening of "lado."
-
ME AFERRARÉ AL PASAO
➔ Simple Future Tense + Reflexive Verb
➔ "Me aferraré" is the future tense of the reflexive verb "aferrarse" (to cling to/hold onto). The "me" indicates the action is performed by and affects the subject. The simple future expresses an action that will happen. "Pasao" is a colloquial shortening of "pasado."
-
OJALÁ QUE EL RELOJ SE QUEDE PARAO
➔ 'Ojalá que' + Subjunctive Mood
➔ "Ojalá que" is an expression used to convey strong hope or desire, equivalent to "I wish that..." or "Hopefully...". It always requires the verb that follows to be in the subjunctive mood ("se quede"), indicating uncertainty, desire, or possibility rather than a factual statement. "Parao" is a colloquial shortening of "parado."
-
COMIÉNDOTE
➔ Gerund + Object Pronoun
➔ "Comiéndote" is formed by the gerund of the verb "comer" (eating) and the direct object pronoun "te" (you), attached at the end. Gerunds describe an ongoing action, and attaching pronouns is common in Spanish, especially in informal contexts or when the gerund is not part of a compound tense like "estar + gerundio."
-
MI CORAZÓN TE LO LLEVAS GUARDADO
➔ Double Object Pronouns
➔ This sentence uses both an indirect object pronoun "te" (to you/for you) and a direct object pronoun "lo" (it, referring to "mi corazón"). When both direct and indirect object pronouns appear before a conjugated verb, the indirect pronoun ("te") comes before the direct pronoun ("lo"). "Guardado" means kept/stored.
-
HOY VOY A SACARLE, DARTE DOS
➔ Periphrastic Future ('Ir a + Infinitive')
➔ The construction "ir a + infinitive" ("voy a sacar", "voy a dar") is a common way to express future actions in Spanish, often implying a planned or immediate future. It's equivalent to "going to [do something]" in English. Object pronouns ("le", "te") can be attached to the infinitive.
-
Y ESTAMOS ENCERRADOS ENTRE BOTELLAS EN PALOMINO
➔ 'Estar' + Past Participle (for state/condition)
➔ "Estamos encerrados" uses the verb "estar" (to be) followed by the past participle "encerrados" (locked up/enclosed). This construction describes a state or condition resulting from a past action, rather than the action itself (which would use "ser" + past participle for the passive voice). The participle agrees in gender and number with the subject ("nosotros" implied, hence "encerrados").
-
NO SABEMOS CUÁNDO SE REPITA
➔ Subjunctive after 'cuando' (for future/uncertainty)
➔ When "cuando" (when) refers to a future or uncertain event, the verb in the dependent clause must be in the subjunctive mood ("se repita"). If "cuando" refers to a habitual or past action, the indicative mood would be used. The "se" here is impersonal or reflexive, indicating "when it repeats itself" or "when it is repeated."
-
DÉJAME HACERTE UN PAR DE COSITAS
➔ Imperative + Object Pronoun + Infinitive
➔ "Déjame" is the imperative form of "dejar" (to let/allow), with the indirect object pronoun "me" (me) attached. This is followed by an infinitive "hacerte" (to do to you), where "te" is the direct object pronoun attached to the infinitive. This structure means "let me do something to you."
