Questions & Answers about Revocamos el testamento.
What form is revocamos?
Revocamos is the first person plural form of the verb revocar, so it means we revoke or we revoked, depending on context.
- revocar = to revoke
- revocamos = we revoke / we revoked
The ending -amos tells you the subject is we.
Why can revocamos mean both we revoke and we revoked?
Because for many -ar verbs in Spanish, the nosotros form is the same in the:
- present tense: revocamos = we revoke
- preterite: revocamos = we revoked
So this sentence is ambiguous by itself. Native speakers usually understand the intended meaning from context, for example:
- Ahora revocamos el testamento. = Now we revoke the will.
- Ayer revocamos el testamento. = Yesterday we revoked the will.
