Questions & Answers about Mis abuelos van a visitarnos en agosto.
Why is nos attached to the end of visitar?
In Spanish, object pronouns like nos (us) can be attached directly to the end of an infinitive (an unconjugated verb, like visitar). You can also put the pronoun before the conjugated verb, so nos van a visitar is perfectly correct and means the exact same thing.
Why isn't the month capitalized in en agosto?
Does mis abuelos specifically mean two grandfathers?
It usually means my grandparents (a grandfather and a grandmother). In Spanish, when referring to a mixed-gender group, you use the masculine plural form. It could technically mean two grandfathers, but everyday context almost always means grandparents.
What is the grammar structure behind van a visitar?
This uses the very common ir + a + infinitive structure, which is the easiest way to talk about the future in Spanish. You take the conjugated form of the verb ir (to go, which becomes van here), add the preposition a, and follow it with an unconjugated verb like visitar to mean going to visit.
