Questions & Answers about Quiero organizar una fiesta con mi familia.

Why do we use Quiero instead of another verb like Deseo?

Quiero (from the verb querer) is a very common way in Spanish to express that you want something or want to do something. It’s slightly more casual and direct than Deseo, which is more formal and can carry a stronger meaning of desire. Both are correct, but Quiero is the most typical verb to use in everyday conversation.

Why is it organizar and not a different form of the verb?

Organizar is in its infinitive form because we’re using it right after Quiero. In Spanish, when you use querer plus another verb, that second verb remains in the infinitive (the basic, unchanged form). So any verb following Quiero should stay in -ar, -er, or -ir form.

Why do we say una fiesta instead of la fiesta?

We use una because we’re talking about a party in a general sense, not a specific party that the listener already knows about. If we said la fiesta, it would imply we’re referring to the party that was already mentioned or is already known to both speaker and listener.

Is fiesta singular or plural? Should it match familia?

Fiesta is singular because you’re planning one party. It doesn’t need to change based on familia. The phrase con mi familia just tells us who you want to celebrate with. In Spanish, familia is considered a collective noun (singular), but it can refer to multiple family members.

Why do we say con mi familia?

Con means with, indicating inclusion or companionship. By using con mi familia, you emphasize that your family will be part of the event. If you wanted to indicate the family was just the audience of the party, you might say para mi familia (for my family). But con mi familia clearly shows they will attend and be involved in organizing or enjoying the party.
