You Continue and You Stop
Use continúa for polite “you continue” and para for polite “you stop.” Every practice roll recycles approximately twice as much previously learned language.
Lesson 1
You continue: continúa
Use continúa when politely saying that one person continues an action. Use continuar after familiar helper forms.
One new building block
continúa
you continue when speaking politely to one person
no continúa
you do not continue
¿Continúa...?
Do you continue...?
Spanish often leaves out usted. Here, continúa by itself can mean polite you continue.
Build the meaning step by step
Continúa el trabajo. = You continue the work.
No continúa ahora. = You do not continue now.
¿Qué continúa haciendo? = What do you continue doing?
Use continuar after helper verbs
Quiere continuar el trabajo antes de regresar.
