Complemento de Régimen

Question

Was wondering if someone could give a good explenation of what this is. I can't seem to find an english page about it, the wiki doesn't have an english version.

Answer 1

I read the answer you got to an earlier question and realised that it was a phrase I did not know. It looks like there is a similar one in English. It is effectively a prepositional phrase.

However, I know our Spanish teacher is shocked that we do not learn more grammar.

There are various different phrases but this one refers to prepositions which are necessary to complete the sentence and which have to be a particular preposition.

Here is one explanation I found: Gramaticas

I always like this site by Profe ele. He has 'games' you can play to learn the phrase

parchis/games

and if you go to the link part way down in red is a link to a PDF with the important prepositions for a variety of verbs. It includes a brief video in which it show the verb without the preosition means one thing and with something els.

Hopefully someone like Daniela will explain it to use both!

Answer 2

These verbos de régimen are those that have a mandatory proposition following, like Insistir en, asistir a. and a bunch of others. the compliment is what follows the verb and its preposition. Some verbs can be used as a verbo de regimen if they have a preposition following. Habló de su padre. Su padre is the compliment.

When I get home I will get on Firefox where I can copy and paste. The IE at the college doesn't have any provision for that. I can explain this further. It's really not all that bad.

I was going to add more, but seeing the absolute total lack of interest in the matter I will save my energy--unless someone asks me about it. - Daniela2041, Oct 8, 2015
