Questions & Answers about Lo leímos en el titular de hoy.

How can I turn this into a cleft sentence to emphasize that we read it in today's headline?

To emphasize where you read it, you can wrap that phrase with a form of ser (to be) and a relative word like donde (where) or que (that). Because the reading happened in the past, you'd use fue (it was): Fue en el titular de hoy donde lo leímos (It was in today's headline where we read it).

Wait, isn't leímos present tense?

It can be! For nosotros (we), regular -er and -ir verbs have the exact same form in the present tense and the preterite (simple past) tense. You have to rely on context to know the difference. Since finding something in a news headline usually describes a completed discovery, the past tense makes the most sense here.

Why use titular for "headline" instead of título?
