Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the 'te' at the end of the word?

In Spanish, when a verb is in its basic 'infinitive' form (ending in -ar, -er, or -ir), pronouns like 'te' (you) are attached directly to the end of the word.

Can I say 'unirte a' or just 'unirte'?

You almost always need 'a' after 'unirte' if you are specifying what you are joining (e.g., 'unirte a la fiesta').
