Questions & Answers about Hablo con mi hermano sobre la lección.

Why does hablo end in -o instead of another ending like -ar or -a?

The verb hablar (to speak) changes based on the subject and tense. Hablo is the first-person singular present tense form, so the -o ending indicates that the subject is "yo" (I).

How should I pronounce the h in hablo?

In Spanish, the h is always silent. So you don’t actually pronounce the "h" in hablo. It sounds like "ablo."

Why do we say con mi hermano and not a mi hermano?

The preposition con means "with," which indicates you are speaking "with" your brother. Using a mi hermano would suggest direction toward your brother rather than speaking together.

Is there another way to say sobre la lección?

Yes! You could use acerca de or sobre interchangeably to mean "about." For instance, "Hablo con mi hermano acerca de la lección" is also correct.

Could I say Estoy hablando con mi hermano sobre la lección?

Yes, that form emphasizes that the action is happening right now. Hablo suggests a general or habitual action, while estoy hablando indicates a continuous action in progress. Both are valid depending on context.
