Questions & Answers about Siempre quiero aprender con mi familia.
Why do we use quiero (first-person singular) instead of quieres (second-person singular)?
In Spanish, quiero matches the first-person singular (yo), meaning I want. By contrast, quieres is the second-person singular form, meaning you want. Since the sentence is talking about oneself, quiero is the correct form.
Could we say Quiero siempre aprender con mi familia instead of Siempre quiero aprender con mi familia?
Yes, Spanish allows some flexibility in word order, so Quiero siempre aprender con mi familia is grammatically acceptable. However, Siempre quiero aprender con mi familia is more common and natural in spoken Spanish. Emphasizing siempre at the beginning can sound more direct or expressive.
Why do we say aprender and not aprender a in this sentence?
Adding a after aprender often happens when it’s followed by another verb in infinitive or when expressing what someone is learning to do (for example, aprender a bailar – "to learn to dance"). In this sentence, you’re simply saying you want to learn in general, with your family, so aprender (without a) is correct and sufficient.
Why do we say mi familia instead of mis familia?
In Spanish, familia is a collective noun treated as singular. Even though it refers to multiple people, the word familia itself is singular ("the family"), so we use the singular possessive adjective mi rather than mis.
Is familia singular or plural in Spanish?
Familia is singular grammatically, though it refers to multiple family members. When using verbs or adjectives that agree with familia, they typically follow singular agreement rules (for example, La familia es grande – "The family is big").
