Lesson 74

Doubt, Purpose, and Choosing

Language Transfer Complete Spanish is by Mihalis Eleftheriou. Listen to the original audio first; use these notes for revision.

Elegir = to choose (related to "elect"). E→i: elijo (the e becomes i instead of splitting). Elección = election. Elegimos = we choose (no change when unstressed).

Para que + subjunctive = so that: Hemos cocinado para que coman = We've cooked so that they eat.

Volver = to return (o→ue: vuelvo). Volver a + infinitive = to do again: Vuelve a cerrarse = It closes again.

Lo he hecho para que vuelvas = I've done it so that you come back.
