3. Grammer
1. Tiempos verbales: Pretérito perfecto compuesto
Sentence: ¿Han tenido alguna oferta en televisores recientemente?
Translation: Have you had any deals on televisions recently?
Explanation: The "Pretérito Perfecto Compuesto" in the sentence is "han tenido," which indicates an action that
occurred in the past but has relevance or connection to the present, such as asking if there have been any recent
offers on TVs.
2. Verbos: Verbos copulativos
Sentence: Sí, la promoción actual es bastante atractiva.
Translation: Yes, the current promotion is quite attractive.
Explanation: The copulative verb in the sentence "Sí, la promoción actual es bastante atractiva." is "es," which links
the subject "la promoción actual" to its attribute "bastante atractiva," describing its state.
3. Tiempos verbales: Pretérito imperfecto
Sentence: Antes buscaba un modelo que ya no venden.
Translation: I used to look for a model that they no longer sell.
Explanation: The verb "buscaba" is in Pretérito Imperfecto, indicating a repeated or habitual action in the past with
no specific endpoint.
4. Tiempos verbales: Pretérito anterior
Sentence: Apenas hubieron terminado de venderlo, cuando comenzó la nueva promoción.
Translation: No sooner had they finished selling it, than the new promotion began.
Explanation: The Pretérito anterior in the sentence is "hubieron terminado," which describes an action that
happened immediately before another past action, emphasizing the sequence in past events (here, finishing selling
right before the new promotion starts).
5. Tiempos verbales: Presente
Sentence: ¿Tienen algo similar en existencia?
Translation: Do you have something similar in stock?
Explanation: The "Tiempos verbales: Presente" in the sentence "¿Tienen algo similar en existencia?" is "Tienen"
(they have), and it is used here to inquire about the current availability of something similar in stock.
6. Tiempos verbales: Pretérito imperfecto de subjuntivo
Sentence: Ojalá tuviéramos en stock algo tan bueno como aquel modelo.
Translation: If only we had something as good as that model in stock.
Explanation: The "Pretérito Imperfecto de Subjuntivo" verb in the sentence is "tuviéramos," which is used to express
a wish about a situation that is not currently true (in this case, wishing to have something in stock).
7. Verbos: Verbos regulares
Sentence: Entiendo, quizás miro lo que tienen ahora.
Translation: I understand, maybe I'll look at what they have now.
Explanation: In the sentence "Entiendo, quizás miro lo que tienen ahora," the regular verb is "miro" (I look/watch).
It is a regular verb because it follows the standard pattern for conjugating verbs in Spanish, without any alterations
to the root.
8. Verbos: Verbos irregulares
Sentence: Esperemos que encuentres algo que te guste.
Translation: Let's hope you find something you like.
Explanation: The irregular verb in the sentence is **"encuentres"** (que encuentres), which comes from

**"encontrar"**, meaning "to find."
9. Pronombres relativos: el que, la que, los que, las que
Sentence: Gracias, estaré on the lookout por alguna oferta futura que me convenza.
Translation: Thank you, I'll be on the lookout for any future offer that convinces me.
Explanation: In the sentence, "que" is the pronombre relativo (relative pronoun), used to link the clause "me
convenza" to the noun "oferta futura," essentially meaning "which convinces me" or "that convinces me."
10. Pronombres relativos: lo cual
Sentence: Eso sería excelente, lo cual nos encantaría mucho.
Translation: That would be excellent, which we would love very much.
Explanation: The relative pronoun in the sentence is "lo cual," and it refers back to a whole idea or situation
mentioned previously, in this case, "Eso sería excelente," meaning "That would be excellent."
11. Pronombres relativos: lo que
Sentence: Bien, dejenme echarle un vistazo a lo que ofrecen actualmente entonces.
Translation: Alright, let me take a look at what you are currently offering then.
Explanation: In the sentence, "lo que" translates to "what" and it is used specifically to refer to "what they are
currently offering."
12. Tiempos verbales: Pretérito pluscuamperfecto
Sentence: Por supuesto, cualquiera cosa que necesites, estoy aquí para ayudarte.
Translation: Of course, anything you need, I'm here to help you.
Explanation: The sentence "Por supuesto, cualquiera cosa que necesites, estoy aquí para ayudarte." does not
contain any verb in the Pretérito Pluscuamperfecto tense. The Pretérito Pluscuamperfecto is used to talk about an
action that happened before another past action, typically formed with "había" plus the past participle, and this
sentence doesn't include that structure.
13. Uso de se: Recíproco
Sentence: Se ayudarán mutuamente en todo lo que necesites.
Translation: They will help each other in everything you need.
Explanation: The "se" in "Se ayudarán mutuamente" is used reciprocally meaning that they will help each other.
14. Pronombres relativos: cuyo/cuya/cuyos/cuyas
Sentence: Espero encuentres el televisor cuya calidad y precio cumplan con tus expectativas.
Translation: I hope you find a TV whose quality and price meet your expectations.
Explanation: In the sentence, "cuya" is the pronombre relativo, indicating possession and connecting the noun
"televisor" to its qualities, suggesting it is the TV "*whose* quality and price meet your expectations."
15. Verbos: Verbos transitivos
Sentence: Gracias por la ayuda, seguiré mirando.
Translation: Thank you for the help; I'll keep looking.
Explanation: The transitive verb in the sentence is "mirando" because it acts on a direct object, even though the
direct object isn't explicitly mentioned, it is implied that the speaker is looking at something or someone.
16. Tiempos verbales: Pretérito perfecto de subjuntivo
Sentence: No hay de qué, ojalá hayas encontrado algo que se ajuste a tus necesidades.
Translation: You're welcome, hopefully you've found something that meets your needs.
Explanation: The Pretérito Perfecto de Subjuntivo form in the sentence is "hayas encontrado," which basically
expresses a wish or hope that something has occurred in the past, in this case, that you have found something
meeting your needs.

Sentence: Es importante mantenerse actualizado con las promociones.
Translation: It's important to keep up to date with the promotions.
Explanation: The impersonal verb in the sentence "Es importante mantenerse actualizado con las promociones." is
"Es"—it is used to express it is important, without referring to who it is important for, making it impersonal.
18. Pronombres relativos: que
Sentence: Definitivamente, siempre lanzamos ofertas que benefician a nuestros clientes.
Translation: Definitely, we always launch offers that benefit our customers.
Explanation: In the sentence, "que" is a relative pronoun referring to "ofertas" and introduces the relative clause
"que benefician a nuestros clientes," meaning "that benefit our customers."
19. Uso de se: Cambio de significado del verbo
Sentence: Exacto, por eso siempre se busca ofrecer lo mejor a los consumidores.
Translation: Exactly, that's why there is always an effort to offer the best to consumers.
Explanation: In this case, "se busca" transforms the meaning of "buscar" from "to look for" to "one looks for" or "is
looked for," thus making the statement impersonal and passive in form, indicating a general action without
specifying who performs it.
20. Pronombres relativos: quien/quienes
Sentence: Correcto, nos esforzamos por brindar la mejor experiencia a quienes nos visitan.
Translation: Right, we strive to provide the best experience for those who visit us.
