Questions & Answers about Podemos repartir el dinero después de que asignes el presupuesto para la etapa.
Why is asignes in the subjunctive here?
Because the action hasn't happened yet. In Spanish, when you use time expressions like después de que (after) or antes de que (before) to talk about a pending, future event, the verb that follows must be in the subjunctive. We can't distribute the money until you assign the budget, so asignar becomes asignes.
Could I just say después de asignar instead of después de que asignes?
Only if the same person is doing both actions! If we were both distributing the money and assigning the budget, you'd drop the que and use the infinitive: después de asignar. But because there is a subject change here—we distribute, but you assign—you must use después de que followed by the subjunctive.
What is the difference between repartir and distribuir?
They are essentially synonyms when talking about money. Repartir is extremely common in everyday Spanish and has a strong sense of dividing something up or handing out pieces of a whole (like money, pizza slices, or playing cards). Distribuir works perfectly here too but can sound slightly more formal.
