Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if 'regresamos' means 'we return' or 'we returned'?

You must look at the context! If the sentence includes a past time marker (like *ayer* or *la semana pasada*), it means 'we returned.' If it talks about current habits or a future plan, it means 'we return' (present tense).

Is 'regresamos' the same as 'volvemos'?

Yes, they both mean 'we return.' In most of Latin America, *regresar* is more commonly used, while in Spain, *volver* might be slightly more frequent, but both are completely correct.
