Questions & Answers about Después de entrenar, me gusta descansar en el parque y charlar con mi amigo.
Why is después followed by de and then the infinitive entrenar?
In Spanish, después de is used before an infinitive to indicate that the action described by the infinitive occurs after something else. You can think of it as “after [doing something].” So we say después de entrenar (“after training”) rather than something like después a entrenar.
Why do we use descansar in the infinitive instead of a conjugated form?
When you use me gusta, it’s always followed by an infinitive to express what you like to do. The structure is (indirect object pronoun) + gusta + infinitive – for example, me gusta descansar (“I like to rest”).
Why do we say en el parque instead of something like al parque?
En el parque means “in the park” or “at the park,” indicating a location where you rest and chat. Al parque would be used when you’re going to the park (for example, voy al parque – “I’m going to the park”).
What’s the difference between charlar and hablar?
Charlar generally implies a more casual conversation, like a friendly chat, whereas hablar can be more general, meaning “to speak” or “to talk.” It’s similar to the difference between “chat” and “talk” in English.
Why do we say con mi amigo and not con mis amigos?
The sentence mentions mi amigo in singular form to refer to one friend. If you were talking about multiple friends, you’d say con mis amigos. The small change from mi to mis shows singular vs. plural possession.
