Questions & Answers about Busco mi cargador y mi llavero; siempre los guardo juntos.
Why is it Busco and not Estoy buscando?
Do I need a preposition after buscar (like “for”)?
No. Buscar already means “to look for,” so it takes a direct object without a preposition:
Why is it los guardo and not las guardo or lo guardo?
What does juntos agree with? Why not juntas?
Can I drop los in the second clause?
Can siempre move around? Is there a difference?
Is the semicolon necessary? Could I use a period or a comma?
What does guardar mean here? Could I use mantener, poner, meter, or dejar?
Here guardar means “to put away/keep/store.” Alternatives:
- mantener juntos: “to keep together” (more about maintaining a state than putting away).
- poner juntos: “to put together” (at a given moment), less about storage.
- meter juntos: “to put in (some container) together,” very colloquial.
- dejar juntos: “to leave together (somewhere).” For “I keep them together (as a habit/in storage),” los guardo juntos is the most idiomatic.
What’s the difference between llavero and llaves?
What gender are cargador and llavero?
Why is it mi cargador y mi llavero, not mis?
Why not les guardo?
Because guardar takes a direct object here, so you need the direct object pronoun los. Les is indirect object:
Where do object pronouns go with infinitives, gerunds, and commands?
- With a conjugated verb: before it → Siempre los guardo juntos.
- With an infinitive/gerund: before the conjugated verb or attached to the non-finite:
- Los quiero guardar juntos / Quiero guardarlos juntos.
- Los estoy guardando / Estoy guardándolos. (note the accent)
- Affirmative commands: attached → ¡Guárdalos juntos! (accent required)
Should I use e instead of y before llavero?
Can I emphasize “both” with los dos or ambos?

“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.
