Questions & Answers about Quedamos en reencontrarnos aquí el próximo fin de semana.
How does the phrase quedar en work in this sentence?
The verb quedar usually means "to stay" or "to be left." However, when you use quedar en followed by an infinitive verb (like reencontrarnos), it becomes a verbal periphrasis (a grammatical set phrase) meaning "to agree to do something" or "to finalize a plan." Here, it means we agreed to meet again.
Is quedamos in the present tense or the past tense here?
Why is nos attached to the very end of reencontrar?
In Spanish, object pronouns must attach directly to the end of an infinitive verb. Here, reencontrar is the infinitive (to meet again), and the reciprocal pronoun nos shows that the action happens to "each other." Together, reencontrarnos means "to meet each other again."
Why does the adjective próximo come before the noun phrase fin de semana?
While most descriptive adjectives in Spanish go after the noun they describe, adjectives that indicate an order in time or a sequence (like próximo for "next" or último for "last") usually come before the noun.
Why do we need the word el before próximo fin de semana?
Spanish uses definite articles (el or la) before days of the week or specific timeframes to indicate when an event happens. While in English we just say "next weekend," Spanish requires el próximo fin de semana to act a bit like the English word "on."
