Questions & Answers about Luego, cocinamos juntos en la mesa grande de mi cocina.

Why is the verb in the first person plural (cocinamos) without explicitly saying nosotros in Spanish?

In Spanish, the verb ending often makes the subject clear, so cocinamos already indicates "we cook." Including nosotros is optional and usually only done for emphasis or clarity.

Why do we say en la mesa grande instead of a la mesa grande?

In Spanish, en is used to indicate being at or on a location, while a typically suggests movement toward something. Here, en la mesa grande means we're located at or using the table.

Does juntos agree in number and gender with the subject or the object in this sentence?

Juntos agrees with the people cooking. Since we're talking about multiple people (the verb is cocinamos), juntos is in the plural masculine form by default. If the group was all female, you'd say juntas.

Why is it de mi cocina and not en mi cocina?

De mi cocina describes possession or relationship (the table belongs to or is part of the kitchen). If you said en mi cocina, you'd be pointing out that you’re inside the kitchen in general. Here, it’s specifically about the table of the kitchen.

Can this sentence also convey a future meaning in Spanish, even though the verb is in the present tense?

Yes. Spanish often uses the present tense to talk about near-future events. Saying Luego, cocinamos juntos... can mean "Later, we (will) cook together..." in English, especially if context indicates it’s a plan rather than a general statement.
