About this episode

In this episode, Pablo shares three everyday expressions to express possibility and uncertainty in Spanish without using the subjunctive.

The subjunctive has a reputation for being one of the trickiest parts of Spanish, but you don't always need it to talk about what might happen. In this episode, Pablo shares three everyday expressions, a lo mejor , igual and lo mismo , that let you express possibility and uncertainty using the ordinary indicative. They're common, natural and a great way to sound more relaxed when you're not quite sure about something. ➡️ Click here to watch the video version of this episode. ➡️ Love learning in short bursts?
