Frequently Asked Questions

Is 'incluyendo' a verb or a preposition?

It can function as both! Most often, it's the '-ing' form (gerund) of the verb 'to include.' However, it is very frequently used functionally as a preposition, just like English 'including,' to introduce a list of examples.

How is 'incluyendo' different from 'incluso'?

'Incluyendo' means 'including' (the action or listing). 'Incluso' usually means 'even' or 'even though,' often used for emphasis or surprise: 'Todos vinieron, incluso mi abuela' (Everyone came, even my grandmother).
