Questions & Answers about ¡Qué bonito espectáculo! Descubrí la feria contigo.
Why does descubrí have an accent mark on the final letter?
Descubrí is the past tense (preterite) form of the regular -ir verb descubrir (to discover) for the yo (I) form. For regular -er and -ir verbs, the past tense ending for "I" is always -í with an accent mark. This accent tells you to stress the final syllable: des-cu-BRÍ. Why doesn't the sentence use "un" (Qué un bonito espectáculo) for "What a beautiful show"?
In English, we say "What a..." to show excitement, but in Spanish, you never use un or una after exclamations starting with ¡Qué...!. You just connect qué directly to the adjective or noun, like ¡Qué bonito espectáculo!. Could I say ¡Qué espectáculo bonito! instead?
Yes, you can! Placing the adjective before the noun (bonito espectáculo) makes it sound a bit more poetic or emotional, which fits perfectly when you are exclaiming how great something is. However, espectáculo bonito is also completely correct and natural. Why is "with you" translated as contigo instead of con tú or con ti?
When the word con (with) is followed by ti (you), they merge into the special single word contigo. The same thing happens with mí (me) to form conmigo (with me). You will see these two combinations all the time! Learn ¡Qué bonito espectáculo! Descubrí la feria contigo and more in Spanish
