Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if 'entrevista' is the noun or the verb?
Look at the words around it! If you see 'la' or 'una' before it, it's the feminine noun (the meeting). If you see a subject like 'él,' 'ella,' or 'usted' (or implied subjects like 'el jefe' or 'la cadena'), it is likely the verb 'to interview' in the present tense.
What is the difference between 'entrevista' and 'conversación'?
'Entrevista' implies a specific, often formal, meeting with a set purpose (like a job or media piece), where one person usually asks the questions. 'Conversación' is a general, often informal, talk between people.
