Questions & Answers about Quiero que te enamores de este proyecto.
Why does this sentence use de instead of con for "with"?
In Spanish, the verb enamorarse (to fall in love) always takes the preposition de, even though in English we say "in love with". It's one of those set verb-preposition combinations you just have to memorize, similar to how you use con with soñar (to dream about).
Why is there a te before enamores?
The verb used here is enamorarse (to fall in love), which requires a reflexive pronoun. The te matches the "you" doing the falling in love. If you just used enamorar without the te, it would mean "to make someone else fall in love" rather than falling in love yourself.
Why does it say enamores ending in "-es" instead of enamoras?
This happens because of the phrase Quiero que (I want you to / I want that). When you express a desire for someone else to do something, Spanish uses a mood called the subjunctive. A quick way to spot this is that the normal -as ending for an -ar verb like enamorarse swaps to an -es.
Could I say esto proyecto instead of este proyecto?
