Frequently Asked Questions

Does 'cuidaré' require the pronoun 'yo'?

No, Spanish often leaves out the subject pronoun. Since 'cuidaré' only means 'I will take care of,' you can just say 'Cuidaré la casa' (I will take care of the house) without 'yo'.

What is the difference between 'cuidar' and 'atender'?

'Cuidar' means to provide sustained care, protection, or maintenance (like caring for a child or a garden). 'Atender' means to attend to, assist, or wait on someone (like serving a customer or answering a request).
