Drawing conclusions with conque
When you catch someone in the act or piece together a situation, you can use the conjunction conque (so / so then) to draw a conclusion. It is often used to confront someone, express surprise, or show mild reproach—like when you finally catch the neighborhood raccoon in your garbage.
Since you are stating a fact that you have just observed or deduced, conque is usually followed by verbs in the indicative mood.
| So, you are the raccoon that prowls around my house. | Conque tú eres el mapache que merodea por mi casa. |
| So you like to rummage in the garbage, scoundrel! | ¡Conque te gusta escarbar en la basura, sinvergüenza! |
| So you are stealthy, but they caught you. | Conque eres sigiloso, pero te atraparon. |
Commands with conque
You can also use conque directly before a command (the imperative mood). This effectively means "So, because of this situation I just realized, you need to do this."
| So stop rummaging in the container right now! | ¡Conque deja de escarbar en el contenedor ahora mismo! |
| So prowl somewhere else, scoundrel! | ¡Conque merodea en otro lugar, sinvergüenza! |
