Questions & Answers about Debes leer la escritura con el fin de comprender el interés mensual.
Why does the sentence use comprender in the infinitive instead of the subjunctive?
We use the infinitive after con el fin de when the subject of both actions is the same. Here, the person who must read the deed (debes leer) is the same person who will understand the interest (comprender). If the subjects were different, such as if you were reading it so that someone else understands, we would use con el fin de que followed by the subjunctive.
Doesn't escritura usually mean "writing"? How does it translate to "deed" here?
Could I just use para instead of con el fin de here?
Is interés used for both financial interest and personal hobbies, just like in English?
