Questions & Answers about Mi familia es muy feliz gracias a ti.
Why is it ti and not tú?
After prepositions like a, de, or para, Spanish uses special prepositional pronouns. For the informal 'you', that word is ti. You cannot say a tú, so it becomes a ti.
Why doesn't ti have an accent mark like mí?
Accent marks are often used to tell apart words that are spelled the same but have different meanings. For example, mí (me) has an accent to distinguish it from mi (my). Since there is no other word spelled 'ti' in Spanish, it does not need an accent mark!
Why does this sentence use es instead of está for being happy?
Why use es instead of son when a family has many people?
Even though a family is made up of many people, the word familia is a singular noun. Just like in English we say 'my family is' instead of 'my family are', Spanish uses the singular verb es.
Does gracias a always mean 'thanks to'?
Yes! Just like in English, gracias a is a common set phrase used to say that something happened or is true because of someone or something else.
