Questions & Answers about Necesitamos los documentos, pero los enviamos mañana.
Why is there a second los right before enviamos?
Why does the sentence say los enviamos instead of enviamos los?
Why are both verbs (necesitamos and enviamos) missing a subject word like "we"?
In Spanish, the verb endings tell you who is doing the action. Both necesitamos (we need) and enviamos (we send) end in -amos, which is the present tense ending for nosotros (we). Since the ending already makes it clear, we don't need to include the word nosotros.
Why use the present tense enviamos (we send) if the action is happening mañana (tomorrow)?
