Questions & Answers about Me gustaría que trajeras la parrilla para el asado.
Why is it trajeras (past tense) if the barbecue hasn't happened yet?
Even though you are talking about a future event, the main verb gustaría is in the conditional tense (would like). In Spanish, when a conditional verb expresses a wish or request, the following verb must be in the imperfect (past) subjunctive.
Where does the "j" in trajeras come from? The infinitive is traer.
Traer is highly irregular. To form the imperfect subjunctive, you always start with the ellos/ellas form of the preterite (simple past). For traer, that form is trajeron. Drop the -ron, add the tú ending -ras, and you get trajeras.
Why do we use para instead of por for "for the barbecue"?
Does asado mean the meat or the actual barbecue event?
It can mean both! Depending on the context, an asado can refer to the roasted meat itself, but here it is very commonly used to refer to the social gathering or cookout.
