Questions & Answers about Por favor, llena el formulario para viajar al extranjero.

Why is the verb in the sentence llena and not llene?

Llena is the imperative form for tú (informal singular). When speaking informally using the tú form in Spain, you typically say llena. If you needed to be more formal (using usted), you would say llene instead.

What’s the difference between llenar and rellenar when talking about forms?

In many contexts, llenar and rellenar are interchangeable, both meaning to fill out a form. However, in Spain, people often use rellenar more commonly for forms. Llenar is still correct but might sound slightly more general, whereas rellenar focuses on filling in all the required details.

Can I use rellena instead of llena in the sentence?

Yes, you can say Por favor, rellena el formulario para viajar al extranjero. It’s a minor change in style. Both are correct, though rellena might be more typical in Spain when referring to completing paperwork.

Why is para used instead of por before viajar?

You use para to indicate purpose or goal—in this case, the form is to be filled out in order to travel abroad. Por generally expresses cause or reason, among other uses, but here the purpose is specifically traveling, so para is correct.

Why do we say al extranjero instead of en el extranjero?

Al extranjero means to a foreign country, emphasizing movement toward another country. If you said en el extranjero, it would mean in a foreign country, focusing on being located there rather than going there. Since the sentence is about traveling, al extranjero is appropriate.
