Questions & Answers about Quiero guardar la imagen en una carpeta nueva.

Why is there no yo in Quiero guardar...?

Spanish often drops subject pronouns because the verb ending already tells you who the subject is.

• Quiero = I want
• So yo is not necessary

You could say Yo quiero guardar la imagen..., but that usually adds emphasis, contrast, or clarification:

• Yo quiero guardar la imagen, no borrarla.
  = I want to save the image, not delete it.

Without yo, the sentence sounds natural and normal.

Why is it quiero guardar and not quiero a guardar or quiero guardo?

After querer + another verb, Spanish uses the infinitive directly.

Structure:

• quiero
  • guardar

So:

• Quiero guardar = I want to save

Not:

• quiero a guardar ❌
• quiero guardo ❌

This is very common in Spanish:

• Quiero comer = I want to eat
• Quiero salir = I want to leave
• Quiero abrirlo = I want to open it
