Questions & Answers about Me gustaría agendar una cita para el lunes.
Why is it me gustaría instead of just me gusta?
Me gustaría means 'I would like', which is the conditional form of gustar. It is used to make polite requests or talk about things you want to do right now or in the future, whereas me gusta simply means 'I like' as a general, everyday fact.
Why is agendar in its infinitive form (ending in -ar) here?
After me gustaría, you always leave the next verb in its base dictionary form (the infinitive) when you are talking about what you yourself would like to do. Since you are saying 'I would like to schedule', agendar stays in its unchanged infinitive form.
Does una cita mean a romantic date or a business appointment?
Why do we use para instead of por for 'for Monday'?
Why is there an el before lunes? Doesn't that mean 'the Monday'?
In Spanish, you must use the definite article (el or los) before days of the week to specify when something happens. While it looks like 'for the Monday', para el lunes is simply how Spanish speakers say 'for Monday'.
