Medical Spanish and Spanish Grammar Review

You must consider the directional context when using the verbs: TRAER/LLEVAR, VENIR/IR.

If you are like me, you've messed up the usage of these verbs many times. Here are two podcasts which will hopefully clear things up.

Basic rules of thumb:

1. If something is being carried to your current location, use TRAER. If you are describing the action of arriving or coming to your current location, use VENIR.

2. If something is being carried from your current location to another location use LLEVAR. If you are describing the action of leaving your current location to go to another location, use IR.

It all depends on the perspective of the speaker. To practice these verbs, check out the podcasts below.

Traer vs Llevar

Venir vs Ir
