Questions & Answers about Comparamos el camarote con el salón de pasajeros.
What form is comparamos, and who is doing the action?
Comparamos is the present indicative form of comparar for nosotros/nosotras: we compare or we are comparing.
So the sentence means that we are making the comparison.
- comparar = to compare
- yo comparo = I compare
- tú comparas = you compare
- él/ella compara = he/she compares
- nosotros/nosotras comparamos = we compare
Why is there no nosotros in the sentence?
Spanish often leaves out the subject pronoun when it is already clear from the verb ending.
Because comparamos clearly means we compare, there is no need to say nosotros comparamos unless you want emphasis or contrast.
So both are possible:
- Comparamos el camarote con el salón de pasajeros.
- Nosotros comparamos el camarote con el salón de pasajeros.
The first is more neutral and more natural in many situations.
Why is con used after comparar?
