Questions & Answers about Desayunamos juntos a las seis.

Is desayunamos present tense or past tense?
The form desayunamos is identical for the present indicative (“we have breakfast”) and the preterite (“we had breakfast”). In this sentence it’s a present‐habitual meaning: “we have breakfast together at six.” If you wanted to stress a one‐time past event, you’d usually add a time marker (e.g., ayer desayunamos juntos a las seis).
Why don’t we include nosotros in desayunamos?
Spanish verbs carry enough information in their endings to show the subject. desayunamos already tells you “we,” so nosotros is redundant. You’d only add nosotros for emphasis or contrast (e.g., Nosotros desayunamos juntos, pero ellos no).
Why do we use a las before seis?
To indicate time in Spanish you use a + definite article + hour. Hours from two to twelve are feminine and plural, so you say a las dos, a las tres, …, a las seis. For 1:00 you’d say a la una (singular).
Could I say en las seis instead of a las seis?
No. When specifying the exact time something happens, Spanish always uses a (“at”), not en. en las seis sounds unidiomatic.
What part of speech is juntos here?
In desayunamos juntos the word juntos functions adverbially, meaning “together.” It modifies the verb desayunamos. When it describes nouns (e.g., “the two friends together”), it’s an adjective.
Can I move juntos to a different position in the sentence?

Yes. Spanish allows flexibility, so you could say:
• Juntos desayunamos a las seis.
• Desayunamos a las seis juntos.
• A las seis desayunamos juntos.
All are correct; the original order is simply the most common.

Do I need to add de la mañana or de la tarde to clarify?
Only if context doesn’t make clear whether it’s AM or PM. You can say desayunamos juntos a las seis de la mañana for 6 AM, or a las seis de la tarde for 6 PM—but since breakfast is usually in the morning, native speakers often skip it.
How would I say “I have breakfast” instead of “we have breakfast”?
Use the first‐person singular form: desayuno. For example, Desayuno solo a las siete (“I have breakfast alone at seven”).

“How does verb conjugation work in Spanish?”
Spanish verbs change form based on the subject, tense, and mood. Regular verbs follow predictable patterns depending on whether they end in ‑ar, ‑er, or ‑ir. For example, "hablar" (to speak) becomes "hablo" (I speak), "hablas" (you speak), and "habla" (he/she speaks) in the present tense.
