💡 Grammar Points
Using 'en' for Agreement
When 'coinciden' means to agree on a specific topic, use the word 'en' followed by the topic or 'que' for a full sentence.
Who are we talking about?
This specific form ends in '-n' because it refers to more than one person, like 'they' (ellos/ellas) or 'you all' (ustedes).
❌ Common Pitfalls
The 'With' Trap
Mistake: "Using 'con que' for agreement."
Correction: Use 'en que' when agreeing on a point. 'Con' is usually for meeting people or overlapping schedules.
