Questions & Answers about Es aconsejable que lean mi propuesta y la tuya.
Why is the verb lean used here instead of leen?
The phrase Es aconsejable que (It is advisable that) is an impersonal expression giving a recommendation. These expressions require the verb that follows to be in the subjunctive mood. Therefore, the regular present tense leen changes to the subjunctive lean.
Who is supposed to read the proposal?
Why does the sentence end with la tuya instead of just tuya?
La tuya is a possessive pronoun meaning "yours". In Spanish, when you replace a noun with a word like "mine", "yours", or "ours", you must include the definite article (el, la, los, or las). Here, we use la because it refers back to la propuesta, which is a feminine singular noun.
Could I just say y tu propuesta instead of y la tuya?
