Practicamos la posición abierta con el juego de pies.

Because Spanish usually drops subject pronouns when the verb ending already makes the subject clear. Practicamos already tells you the subject is we, so nosotros is not necessary.

You could say Nosotros practicamos la posición abierta con el juego de pies, but that would usually add emphasis, contrast, or clarification.

It can mean either one, depending on context.

• Present tense: we practice
• Preterite: we practised

For regular -ar verbs, the nosotros form is the same in both tenses: practicamos.

So Spanish normally relies on context, time words, or the surrounding sentences to make the meaning clear. In isolation, many learners first read it as present tense.

Because practicar is a transitive verb. That means it can take a direct object directly, without a preposition.

So:

• practicar algo = to practise something

Here, the thing being practised is la posición abierta.

This is different from some English patterns where learners may expect an extra word like in or on. In Spanish, practicar usually connects straight to the thing you practise.

Spanish uses articles more often than English does. Here, la can show that the speaker is referring to a specific position or to a known technique in the context.

So la posición abierta sounds natural if:

• it is a recognised position in that activity, or
• both speaker and listener know which position is being discussed.

If you said una posición abierta, that would sound more like an open position, meaning one example of that kind of position, not necessarily the established one being taught or discussed.

In Spanish, adjectives usually come after the noun. So posición abierta is the normal order.

Also, abierta agrees with posición:

• posición is feminine singular
• so the adjective must also be feminine singular: abierta

If you moved the adjective before the noun, it would sound marked, literary, or stylistically unusual here. In technical expressions, the normal order is strongly preferred.

Here con means something like with, using, or by means of.

So con el juego de pies explains the method or tool used while practising the open position. It tells you how the practice is being done.

It does not mean simple physical accompaniment only. In this sentence, it is more about technique or means.

Juego de pies is the usual expression for footwork in many sports, dance, and movement contexts.

It refers to how you move and place your feet, not to a literal game of feet. This is a set expression, so it should be learned as a whole phrase.

In Spain, it sounds natural in areas like:

• boxing
• tennis or padel
• martial arts
• dance
• other physical training contexts

Because the expression juego de pies is a fixed phrase, and footwork normally involves both feet or the movement of the feet in general.

Spanish often uses the plural in this kind of expression when referring to body parts generically.

So:

• juego de pies = footwork

Using de pie would not mean the same thing here.

Spanish often uses the definite article with general or abstract nouns where English would leave it out.

So while English often says simply with footwork, Spanish naturally says con el juego de pies.

The article does not necessarily mean one specific, unique instance. It can also refer to the concept or technique in a general way.

No, but it is a very natural one. In some contexts, especially coaching or training language, you may also hear trabajo de pies.

Very roughly:

• juego de pies often sounds like footwork as a skill or movement pattern
• trabajo de pies can sound like footwork drills or footwork work/training

The best choice depends on the sport or activity, but juego de pies is perfectly normal in Spain.

Yes, Spanish word order is flexible, although the original sentence is the most neutral.

For example:

• Con el juego de pies practicamos la posición abierta.

This version puts more focus on con el juego de pies.

But the original order:

• Practicamos la posición abierta con el juego de pies.

is the most straightforward and neutral way to say it.
