Questions & Answers about Para descubrir la mejor ruta, pregunta a todos sobre su experiencia.
Why is para used here instead of por?
In Spanish, para often indicates purpose or goal—"in order to." Here, it shows that the main reason for asking everyone is to discover the best route. Por, on the other hand, would typically express causes, time periods, exchanges, or modes of travel/communication rather than purpose.
Why is descubrir in the infinitive form here?
Because the sentence is expressing the idea "in order to discover." After para, you generally use the infinitive to describe the purpose of the action—there's no need for a conjugated verb in this spot.
Why say pregunta a todos instead of just pregunta todos?
Why is it su experiencia (singular) and not sus experiencias (plural)?
Su experiencia treats the idea of each person's experience as a singular concept. It’s common in Spanish to say "ask them about their (singular) experience" as a general reference. If you wanted to emphasize multiple experiences each person might have had, you could use sus experiencias, but su experiencia is perfectly acceptable and commonly used.
