Questions & Answers about Para las vacaciones, nos vamos a quedar en un hotel barato.
Why is there a nos before vamos a quedar?
The verb meaning to stay is quedarse, which is a reflexive verb. Because the subject is we, the pronoun used is nos. When using the ir + a + infinitive structure for the future, you can put the pronoun right before the conjugated verb (nos vamos a quedar) or attach it to the end of the infinitive (vamos a quedarnos).
Why do we use Para instead of Por at the beginning of the sentence?
Here, para is used because it points to a specific timeframe or target event. You are stating that the upcoming holidays are the target time for this plan.
Why is it las vacaciones (plural) when it might just be one single vacation?
Why does the word barato come after hotel?
