Spanish - Weekend Talk

Cenamos en ___.

We had dinner at ___.

Meaning: We had dinner at ___.

When to use: Use this to say where you and others ate dinner (a restaurant, a friend's house, etc.).

Tip: Don't use 'en' with verbs that need 'a'—here 'cenamos en' is correct for places; beginners sometimes say 'cenamos a casa' by mistake.

Vi ___ en casa.

I watched ___ at home.

Meaning: I watched ___ at home.

When to use: Use when describing watching a movie, show, or video while you stayed home.

Hizo buen clima, así que ___.

The weather was nice, so we ___.

Meaning: The weather was nice, so we ___.

When to use: Start a sentence that links good weather to something you did (e.g., 'salimos a caminar').

What do you usually do on weekends?

Meaning: What do you usually do on weekends?

When to use: Ask someone about their regular weekend habits with 'tú'.

When to use: Give a short overall opinion about your weekend using an adjective (tranquilo, divertido, aburrido).

¿Sí pudiste ___ ?

Did you get to ___ ?

Meaning: Did you get to ___ ?

When to use: Ask whether someone had the chance to do a planned or desired activity during the weekend.

Tip: Don’t add an extra 'sí' at the start for emphasis in the same way as English; '¿Pudiste ___?' also works. Using 'sí' can sound like you expect a yes answer.
