Questions & Answers about Confirmamos la desparasitación antes de la esterilización.

Why is there no subject pronoun like nosotros in this sentence?

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

Here, confirmamos tells you the subject is we. So:

• Confirmamos la desparasitación... = We confirm the deworming / parasite treatment...
• Nosotros confirmamos la desparasitación... is also possible, but it usually adds emphasis or contrast.

This is very normal in Spanish.

Does confirmamos mean we confirm or we confirmed?

It can mean either one, because for -ar verbs, the nosotros form is the same in the present indicative and the preterite.

So confirmamos can be:

• we confirm
• we confirmed

You usually tell from context, time words, or the surrounding conversation.

For example:

• Hoy confirmamos la desparasitación = Today we confirm...
• Ayer confirmamos la desparasitación = Yesterday we confirmed...
