Questions & Answers about Llevo dos meses ligando con él.
Why does this sentence use llevo instead of he estado for "I have been"?
In Spanish, the most natural way to express how long you have been doing an ongoing action is the structure llevar + [time period] + [gerund]. A gerund is a verb ending in -ando or -iendo, like ligando. While you could literally translate it as he estado ligando, using llevo is much more common and natural in this context.
What exactly does the verb ligar mean in Spain?
Ligar is a very common colloquial verb. Here it translates to flirting, but in Spain it broadly covers everything from chatting someone up, to making out, or casually dating. Since it says ligando con él over two months, it implies an ongoing process of flirting or seeing each other casually.
Why is it con él and not con lo or con le?
After prepositions like con (with), de (of/from), or para (for), you must use prepositional pronouns. For "him", the correct prepositional pronoun is él. Words like lo and le are object pronouns used directly with verbs, not after prepositions.
