Questions & Answers about Quiero seguir estudiando español cada día.
Why do we use seguir plus the gerund estudiando in this sentence?
In Spanish, seguir is commonly followed by a gerund to emphasize the continuation or ongoing nature of an action. Using seguir estudiando shows that the action of studying is continuing over time, instead of simply wanting to study once.
Could we say Quiero seguir estudio or Quiero seguir a estudiar instead?
No. In Spanish, after seguir you need to use a gerund form (ending in -ando or -iendo). So Quiero seguir estudio is incorrect because estudio is a noun form (or present tense conjugation), and Quiero seguir a estudiar is also incorrect because a plus infinitive is not the standard construction after seguir.
Is there any difference between using cada día and todos los días?
They mean almost the same thing. Cada día literally translates to "each day," and todos los días means "every day." Both emphasize a daily habit or routine. In casual speech, you’ll hear todos los días a bit more often, but cada día is perfectly correct and common.
What if I said Quiero seguir estudiando without español?
That would still be grammatically correct. However, without español, the sentence becomes more general: "I want to keep studying" without specifying what subject or language you are studying.
Can I replace Quiero with something more polite?
Yes, you could use Me gustaría seguir estudiando español cada día, which is often considered more polite or softer. Me gustaría translates to "I would like," giving the sentence a more polite or less direct tone.
