Questions & Answers about Necesitamos el presupuesto para el viernes para aumentar las ventas.
Why is para used twice in this sentence?
Why is aumentar (to increase) in its unconjugated form?
In Spanish, when a verb immediately follows a preposition like para, it must stay in its infinitive (unconjugated) form. Because of this rule, para aumentar naturally translates to "in order to increase" or simply "to increase."
Why do we say el viernes instead of just viernes?
In Spanish, you almost always need to use the definite article (el or los) before days of the week when you are talking about something happening on, or by, a specific day. So, para el viernes literally translates as "by the Friday."
Would it be wrong to use por instead of para in this sentence?
