Spanish language Q&A Forum

Hi,

I am confused about when to include an 'a' between two consecutive verbs.  My search seems to indicate the it depends on the former verb.  If so, is it something that has to be memorised with the verb or is there a rule of thumb?

Thanks and regards,

Colin

The example 'Sierra Nevada se encuentra en la provincia de Granada.' seems to me to suggest passive 'se' rather than reflexive. Perhaps because I tend to translate it as 'is found' (passive). Is that an accurate translation?

Also, I've got in the habit of using the Latin American ubicar and estar ubicado. Are these considered incorrect in Spain?

Saludos
