Getting Around III

Hola!

Cómo estás?

Caught you off guard with that last example on our previous lesson?

Andar is most often translated as ''to walk," but this verb can also be used to mean ''to go" or ''to ride."

Don't worry! The context it's used in will pretty much always make the meaning perfectly clear.

Let’s conjugate the verb caminar

Caminar (To walk)

Yo camino

Tú caminas

Él/ ella camina

Nosotros caminamos

Vosotros caminais

Ellos caminan

The verb caminar is a synonym of andar.

Here are a few examples of how it might be used:

EN MIAMI CAMINAMOS POR LA PLAYA.

(WE WALK ON THE BEACH IN MIAMI)

YO PREFIERO CAMINAR POR LA TARDE.

(I PREFER WALKING IN THE AFTERNOON)

In the last example, the first-person form of preferir (to prefer) was combined with the infinitive form of caminar, a simple way to express more complex thoughts.

That’s all for today.  It’s not so difficult.

Nos vemos pronto
