Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if 'juntas' is the verb or the adverb?
Look at the subject! If the sentence is directed at 'tú' (you, informal), it is likely the verb ('Tú juntas...'). If it describes two or more feminine subjects acting or being somewhere, it is the adverb ('Ellas están juntas...').
Is 'juntas' the same as 'reuniones'?
They are synonyms, but 'juntas' often implies a more formal, official, or administrative meeting (like a board meeting), whereas 'reuniones' is a general term for any kind of meeting or get-together.
