Confirmamos la disponibilidad y pagamos el anticipo.

Because both verbs are -ar verbs:

• confirmar → confirmamos
• pagar → pagamos

The ending -amos is the first person plural form, meaning we.

One important thing for learners: with -ar verbs, -amos can be either:

• present: we confirm / we pay
• preterite: we confirmed / we paid

So the form itself is the same; the context tells you which meaning is intended.

It can actually be either, depending on context.

• Confirmamos la disponibilidad y pagamos el anticipo can mean:
  • We confirm the availability and pay the deposit (present)
  • We confirmed the availability and paid the deposit (past)

This happens because, for nosotros with -ar verbs, the present and preterite forms look identical.

Usually the surrounding context makes it clear. For example:

• In a list of steps or instructions about a process, it may sound like present.
• In a story about what happened yesterday, it would sound like past.

Spanish often omits subject pronouns because the verb ending already shows who the subject is.

Here, confirmamos and pagamos already tell us the subject is we. So nosotros is not necessary.

You could say:

• Nosotros confirmamos la disponibilidad y pagamos el anticipo

But in normal Spanish, especially in natural conversation and writing, leaving out nosotros is more common unless you want to:

• add emphasis
• create contrast
• avoid confusion

Spanish usually uses articles more often than English does.

Here:

• la disponibilidad = the availability
• el anticipo = the deposit / the advance payment

The articles are used because the speaker is referring to specific things in a particular situation: the availability of something and the deposit that needs to be paid.

In English, we sometimes drop the in translation depending on style, but in Spanish the article is very natural here.

Anticipo usually means an advance payment, deposit, or down payment, depending on the situation.

In a travel, rental, or booking context, it often means:

• deposit
• payment made in advance

So pagamos el anticipo means something like:

• we paid the deposit
• we made the advance payment

In Spain, this word is common in formal or business-like situations. Depending on context, you might also hear related words such as:

• señal = deposit, especially to reserve something
• reserva = reservation / booking
• adelanto = advance payment, advance

Because confirmar normally takes a direct object in Spanish.

You confirm something:

• confirmar la disponibilidad
• confirmar la reserva
• confirmar la fecha

So la disponibilidad is the thing being confirmed.

Using de here would be incorrect. English speakers sometimes expect a preposition because English patterns do not always match Spanish ones, but with confirmar, you usually just put the noun directly after the verb.

Because in Spanish, just like in English, you normally do not use a comma before y when it simply joins two actions with the same subject.

So this is standard:

• Confirmamos la disponibilidad y pagamos el anticipo.

Both verbs share the same subject, we, so the sentence flows naturally without a comma.

A comma before y would only appear in more special cases, such as:

• a parenthetical interruption
• a change in structure
• a longer, more complex sentence

Yes, you could, and it would be grammatically correct.

That version uses the present perfect:

• hemos confirmado = we have confirmed
• hemos pagado = we have paid

The difference is mainly about how the action is framed:

• confirmamos / pagamos can be simple present or simple past, depending on context
• hemos confirmado / hemos pagado clearly refers to completed actions with present relevance

In Spain, the present perfect is used quite a lot for recent past actions, especially when the time period is still connected to the present.

Yes, it is very natural.

In Spanish, pagar is the usual verb for making a payment:

• pagar el anticipo
• pagar la señal
• pagar la reserva
• pagar una parte

So pagamos el anticipo is a standard way to say that the advance payment or deposit was made.

You may also hear other expressions depending on context, such as:

• hacer un anticipo = to make an advance payment
• dar una señal = to put down a deposit

But pagar el anticipo is completely normal.

A rough pronunciation guide is:

dis-po-nee-bee-lee-DAD

The stress falls on the last syllable: -dad.

A few pronunciation notes:

• d in Spanish is softer than English d in many positions
• i is always like ee
• every vowel is pronounced clearly

So the whole word is said smoothly, with each syllable heard:

dis-po-ni-bi-li-dad

Yes. On its own, confirmamos is ambiguous.

It can mean:

• we confirm
• we confirmed

The same is true for pagamos:

• we pay
• we paid

This is a very common feature of nosotros forms in the present and preterite of -ar verbs.

To know which one is meant, Spanish relies on context, for example:

• time words: ayer, hoy, esta mañana
• previous sentences
• whether the speaker is describing a process or narrating an event

So this is something English speakers need to get used to: sometimes Spanish does not mark the distinction directly in the verb form.
