Frequently Asked Questions
Is 'mostrarte' used for direct or indirect objects?
The 'te' in 'mostrarte' acts as an indirect object pronoun (to you) if you are showing a thing (the direct object), or as a direct object pronoun (you) if you are showing the person themselves. In the common phrase 'to show you something,' it is usually the indirect object.
What is the difference between 'mostrarte' and 'muéstrame'?
'Mostrarte' is the infinitive form, meaning 'to show you' (often following another verb). 'Muéstrame' is the affirmative command form for 'tú' (Show me!), where the pronoun 'me' is attached instead of 'te'.
