Learn Spanish: Module 38 — Unintentional Events with Se
I can understand and use a limited set of accidental/unintentional se expressions.
Module 38 intentionally teaches only two present expressions you will use and their accidental/unintentional meaning pattern.
Accidental Se
What you are learning:I can understand common accidental/unintentional se expressions in conversation.
Start here
It slips my mind / I forget it unintentionally.
It falls from me / I drop it unintentionally.
What the structure does:these two expressions phrase pattern an event as happening unintentionally to an affected person. Herememarks me as affected.
Build & connect
se me olvidó— later past forgetting form
se me cayó— later past falling/dropping form
The past pattern comes later; these are not answers for Module 38.
