veló de? or veló a (mi mamá)?

Question

which is correct

Answer 1

él veló por su abuela...

Thats my shot anyways...

Answer 2

I am trying to say that "he watched over his grandma"

I agree with wallpaper. You wouldn't use 'a' or 'de' in this case. Veló por su abuelita" (or mamá) if that is what he called her, but usually that means 'mommy'.) And 'velar' generally implies staying up at night.

Another way would be 'Cuidó de su abuelita'. (He cared for his grandma.) This would be if a person did so day after day.

I hope that helps!

Answer 5

Hi Charco! Calvo hinted at it, but just to be sure... Are you trying to say that someone stayed up with your mom, to care for her?

I'm asking because sometimes the verbs 'velar' and 'volar' can get mixed up.

Answer 6

Veló a mi mamá

I hope your mom's isn't ill. Was your papá sitting up with her?
