Questions & Answers about Es mejor apagar la televisión para conseguir más concentración mientras estudias.
Why does the sentence use Es mejor instead of Es bueno?
Es mejor means It is better, a stronger recommendation than simply saying It is good. This indicates that turning off the TV is strongly advised to help you concentrate.
Why is the infinitive apagar used rather than a conjugated form like apagas?
In Spanish, after certain expressions that assess or recommend an action (for example, es mejor, es importante, etc.), the verb often stays in the infinitive form to speak generally about the action (turning off the TV), rather than addressing who does it.
What does para conseguir más concentración signify in this sentence?
Para here introduces the purpose or goal, meaning in order to achieve more concentration. It explains why turning off the television helps: it gives you a specific result—better focus.
Why is mientras estudias used instead of another phrase like cuando estudias?
Mientras emphasizes while studying, focusing on the duration of time in which the action (studying) takes place. Cuando can also be used to mean when, but mientras underlines the ongoing nature of the studying activity.
