Supervisamos el trabajo, capacitamos personal y planteamos otro asunto.

Spanish often leaves out subject pronouns because the verb ending already shows who is doing the action.

• supervisamos
• capacitamos
• planteamos

The ending -amos tells you the subject is we. So nosotros is understood.

You could say Nosotros supervisamos el trabajo, capacitamos personal y planteamos otro asunto, but it is usually unnecessary unless you want emphasis or contrast.

It can mean either one.

For regular -ar verbs, the nosotros form in the present and the preterite looks the same:

• supervisamos = we supervise / we are supervising
• supervisamos = we supervised

The same is true here for:

• capacitamos
• planteamos

So this sentence is grammatically ambiguous by itself. Context tells you whether it is present or past.

Because in standard spelling, the nosotros form of regular -ar verbs is written the same in the present and the preterite.

Examples:

• hablamos
• trabajamos
• supervisamos

Spanish does not add an accent mark to distinguish the two. Native speakers rely on context, time expressions, and the surrounding conversation.

In this sentence, personal is a noun, not an adjective.

Here it means:

• staff
• personnel

So capacitamos personal means we train personnel/staff.

This is different from English personal meaning private or individual. Spanish personal can be:

• an adjective: información personal = personal information
• a noun: el personal = the staff

Because personal is being used as a collective noun meaning staff/personnel.

A few useful comparisons:

• capacitamos personal = we train personnel / we train staff in general
• capacitamos al personal = we train the staff / a specific staff group
• capacitamos a personas = we train people

Also, the personal a is normally used with specific people, but personal here refers to personnel collectively, so no a is needed.

Depending on region and context, many speakers might find capacitamos al personal more natural if they mean a specific group of employees.

Both can be translated as to train, but they are not always used in exactly the same way.

• capacitar often means to train, to qualify, or to prepare someone with skills, especially in professional or workplace settings.
• entrenar often means to train in the sense of practice, coaching, or physical/technical training.

So in a business or administrative context, capacitar personal is very natural in Latin America.

Spanish often uses the definite article where English might not.

So:

• supervisamos el trabajo = we supervise the work / the job / the work being done

The article el makes the noun sound more definite or identifiable. It often refers to work that is already known in the context.

Without the article, supervisamos trabajo would usually sound less natural here.

Plantear can mean several related things, depending on context:

• to raise
• to bring up
• to present
• to propose
• to set out

So planteamos otro asunto means something like:

• we bring up another issue
• we raise another matter
• we present another topic

It does not have anything to do with English plant even though the words look similar.

Not exactly.

Asunto usually means:

• matter
• issue
• topic
• affair

So otro asunto means another matter or another issue.

It can sometimes refer to a problem, but it is broader and more neutral than problema. If something is definitely a problem, Spanish would more directly use problema.

You could change the order if the context allows it.

For example:

• Capacitamos personal, supervisamos el trabajo y planteamos otro asunto.

This still works grammatically.

However, the original order may reflect the speaker’s preferred sequence, emphasis, or the natural flow of ideas. Spanish word order is often flexible, but changing it can slightly change what feels most important.

Because in Spanish, as in normal English style, a comma is usually not used before y when it simply joins the last item in a list.

So this is standard:

• Supervisamos el trabajo, capacitamos personal y planteamos otro asunto.

The commas separate the first two actions, and y introduces the last one.

A comma before y would only appear in special cases, such as to avoid confusion or to mark an interruption.
