Questions & Answers about Yo clasifico todo lo que no usamos.
Why is usamos in the indicative here instead of the subjunctive?
We use the indicative (usamos) because we are talking about a known, established reality. The speaker is referring to specific things that they already know they don't use in their current everyday life.
How would this sentence change if the items they won't use are currently unknown?
If you are talking about things you might not use in the future, the unknown nature of those items triggers the subjunctive. For example, if you are packing for a trip and say, "I will sort everything we (end up) not using," you would say, "Yo clasificaré todo lo que no usemos."
Why do we need the lo in todo lo que? Can't I just say todo que?
Clasifico looks like "classify." Is it commonly used to mean "sort"?
