Spanish Verbs that Require Preposition DE

Lesson Transcript

Want to speak real Spanish from your first lesson?

Wait, wait. Before I start in this, Diego, do you know how to say,

“I like to talk about movies”?

Yeah, of course. Me gusta hablar de las películas.

Okay. Do you guys, Diego, know how to say,

“I'm tired of being the last one always”?

Sí: “estoy cansado de ser siempre el último”.

Oh, very good one. Okay, the last one.

“It doesn't stop raining.”

That one is difficult. “No deja de llover”.

Okay. Yeah, guys. So, what do these verbs have in common?

Well, actually, we're using verbs that require a preposition “de”,

and these are very important in Spanish because sometimes it is not obvious

when the verbs need the preposition, especially the preposition “de”.

So, in this video, we're going to check the 10 most common verbs

that use this preposition.

As you might know, guys, my name is Diego,

and I'm Efraín, and… enjoy the video!

Okay, my beautiful family from SpanishPod101.com,

so in this video, we're going to cover verbs, and why verbs?

Because verbs are the most important thing to master in every language.

Especially, we're going to cover verbs that require a preposition de,

because sometimes in English, they don't have an equivalent,

and it is not obvious whether you need to use “de”,

or maybe another preposition, or maybe not a preposition at all.

So, we're going to cover the 10 most common verbs

that you will encounter in any conversation.

Cool.

So, for this, I'm going to tell you…

we will give you some time to see if you can recognize these verbs,

and I'm going to tell everything in English,

and Efraín is going to give you the translation and the verb in Spanish.

So, let's get started.

Let's go.

The first one is,

I fell in love with Margot Robbie.

To fall in love with.

Enamorarse de.

Yo me enamoré de Margot Robbie.

To regret.

Arrepentirse de.
