💡 Grammar Points
The 'Let's...' Command
In Spanish, the way to say 'Let's do X' (like 'Let's eat' or 'Let's go') is usually by using the 'nosotros' form of the special verb form called the Present Subjunctive. 'Sigamos' is this form for 'seguir'.
Irregularity Check
The verb 'seguir' changes the 'e' in its stem to an 'i' in many forms (like 'sigo', 'sigue'). This change carries over to 'sigamos' (not 'seguamos').
❌ Common Pitfalls
Confusing the Command
Mistake: "Using the Indicative form: 'Seguimos ahora.'"
Correction: Use the Imperative/Subjunctive form for a command: '¡Sigamos ahora!' (This is a suggestion/command; 'Seguimos' just states a fact: 'We continue.')
⭐ Usage Tips
Starting a New Activity
Use 'Sigamos' often when transitioning between tasks, meetings, or chapters. It’s a very natural way to keep momentum.

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.
