How many “LO QUE” did you count?
—
“LO QUE” simply means “what” or “the thing that”.
You use it when talking about an idea or action, rather than a specific object.

A quick trick: If you can replace “what” in your English sentence with “the thing that”, you need to use “LO QUE” in Spanish

📚 We made a free guide with every use, real examples, and the difference between “lo que” and “que.”
💬 Comment LO QUE and we’ll send it to you.

If you want to say “I had a good time” in Spanish, skip the literal translation.
Tuve un buen tiempo doesn’t work here.
The right way: la pasé bien (or la pasé mal).

How the structure works: → pasar — conjugate it for the person and the tense
→ la — stays the same
always → bien or mal — depending on how it went

Examples:
La pasé muy bien en la fiesta.¿Cómo la pasaste?La pasamos genial en la clase de español.
Small structure, big difference in how natural you sound.

In English, we use phrasal verbs to talk about time.
In Spanish, each one is usually a single verb, which actually makes it easier.

Five to remember:
→ Free up (time) = liberar
→ Bring forward = adelantar
→ Put off = posponer
→ Call off = cancelar
→ Hurry up = apurarse / darse prisa

Save this for later.

The English word “would” doesn’t always translate the same way in Spanish. It depends on what you mean.

Two cases to remember:

1️⃣ Hypothetical or imagined → use the conditional
“I would buy a house if I had the money.” Compraría una casa si tuviera el dinero. (comprar → compraría)

2️⃣ Past habits, what you used to do → use the imperfect
“When I was a kid, I would play soccer every Saturday.” Cuando era niño, jugaba fútbol todos los sábados. (jugar → jugaba)

Same word in English. Two tenses in Spanish.

It’s all about context.

You can understand a lot of Spanish and still struggle to speak it.
That’s because understanding and speaking are different skills. If you want to speak more, you have to practice speaking on purpose.

Here are 3 simple ways to start:

Say one sentence out loud each day
Practice phrases you already use in English
Rehearse small conversations before you need them.

Which is harder for you right now: understanding or speaking?
