Frequently Asked Questions

When should I use 'sigamos' versus 'continuemos'?

They mean almost the same thing ('Let's continue'). 'Sigamos' (from 'seguir') is slightly more common and feels very natural for resuming an activity or moving to the next step. 'Continuemos' (from 'continuar') is also perfectly correct and sometimes used in slightly more formal contexts.

Is 'sigamos' a command or a statement?

'Sigamos' is primarily used as a command or strong suggestion directed at a group including yourself ('us'). It is the 'nosotros' form of the imperative (command) mood.
