💡 Grammar Points

The Present-Past Twin

In Spanish, the 'we' form for -ir verbs stays exactly the same in both the present tense ('we gather') and the simple past tense ('we gathered'). You'll need to look at the rest of the sentence to know the timeframe.

No Accent Needed

While other forms of this verb have an accent on the 'u' (like 'reúno'), 'reunimos' does not because the stress naturally falls on the 'i'.

❌ Common Pitfalls

Missing the 'Nos'

Mistake: "Reunimos en el café."

Correction: Nos reunimos en el café.

⭐ Usage Tips

Check for Time Words

Since 'reunimos' can mean 'we gather' or 'we gathered,' look for words like 'ahora' (now) or 'ayer' (yesterday) to determine the meaning.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does 'reúno' have an accent but 'reunimos' doesn't?

Spanish accent marks often show where the stress goes. In 'reúno', the 'u' needs help to be the strong sound. In 'reunimos', the stress naturally moves to the 'i', so the 'u' doesn't need an accent mark anymore.

Is 'reunimos' formal?

It is a neutral word. You can use it with friends, at work, or in a book.
