Questions & Answers about No nos relajamos en la oficina.
Why is the word nos used in this sentence?
The Spanish verb for 'to relax' is relajarse, which is a reflexive verb. This means the action reflects back on the subject, similar to saying 'to relax oneself'. Because the subject is 'we', we use the reflexive pronoun nos with the verb relajamos.
Could I change the order and say Nos no relajamos?
No, the negative word no must always go immediately before the reflexive pronoun (nos). You can never put the no between the pronoun and the conjugated verb.
If I wanted to add an adverb like fácilmente (easily) from this lesson, where would it go?
Does the preposition en mean 'in' or 'at' here?
It can mean both! The Spanish preposition en is very versatile and is used for 'in', 'on', and 'at'. While the sentence translates it as 'in the office', saying 'at the office' is equally correct for en la oficina.
