Questions & Answers about Escucho la audioguía con mis amigos.

Why is it escucho and not escuchar?

Escuchar is the infinitive, meaning to listen. In a complete sentence, Spanish usually uses a conjugated verb, not the infinitive.

• escuchar = to listen
• escucho = I listen / I am listening

Here, escucho is the yo form of the present tense.

Why isn’t yo included?

Spanish often leaves out subject pronouns when they are clear from the verb ending. The ending -o in escucho already tells you the subject is I.

So both of these are possible:

• Escucho la audioguía.
• Yo escucho la audioguía.

The version without yo is more natural unless you want emphasis or contrast.

Why is there a la before audioguía?

Spanish commonly uses definite articles more often than English does. Here, la audioguía means the audio guide.

The noun audioguía is feminine singular, so it takes la:

• la audioguía
• una audioguía

If you changed it to una audioguía, it would mean an audio guide, which sounds less specific.

How do I know audioguía is feminine?
