Ngữ pháp:

• Que ya tu vida no esté negra

  ➔ Subjunctive mood after *que* expressing a wish/desire.

  ➔ The subjunctive mood is used because the speaker is expressing a desire for the other person's life to no longer be dark. "Esté" is the subjunctive form of "estar".

• De lo que te di, él fue el que ganó

  ➔ Relative clause with a definite article (*el que*) to emphasize the subject.

  ➔ *El que* emphasizes that *he* was the one who won. It's not just anyone, but specifically him.

• Puede que le pese

  ➔ Subjunctive mood after *puede que* expressing uncertainty or possibility.

  ➔ The phrase *puede que* always requires the subjunctive mood. *Pese* is the subjunctive form of *pesar*.

• Pero no la besa como yo la besé

  ➔ Comparison using *como* with past tense (Pretérito Indefinido/Simple Past) to describe a past action.

  ➔ This sentence compares how the current boyfriend kisses her to how the speaker used to kiss her in the past. *Besé* is the Pretérito Indefinido of *besar*.

• Con él ella no se humedece

  ➔ Use of the reflexive pronoun *se* with an intransitive verb to indicate a state or condition.

  ➔ The verb *humedecerse* means 'to become wet' or 'to moisten'. The reflexive pronoun *se* indicates that she isn't experiencing that state (sexual arousal) with him.

• Conmigo es que ella pertenece

  ➔ Cleft sentence with *es que* for emphasis.

  ➔ Using *es que* highlights the phrase *conmigo*, emphasizing that she belongs with *him* and not the current boyfriend.

• Pa' que conmigo regrese

  ➔ Subjunctive mood after *para que* expressing purpose or intention.

  ➔ The phrase *pa' que* (short for *para que*) requires the subjunctive mood because it expresses the speaker's intended result. *Regrese* is the subjunctive form of *regresar*.
