Should/must/have to in SPANISH: debes, debes de, deberías

- Do you know the exact Spanish equivalents of "you should", "you have to", "you must", "you might", "you ought to"? In this video I am going to explain exactly what the equivalent of each word is in Spanish. So I will clear things up about all these words for you so you do not waste more time learning some nonsense that is in your books. Are you ready to learn this? Are you ready to clear this up in your head so you do not make the same mistakes ever again in Spanish? In Spanish we have "debes" as well as "debes" followed by the preposition "de", so we have "debes" y "debes de". Though they look quite similar, they actually have a very important difference. If "debes" is followed by a verb in infinitive, it becomes an order: "debes estudiar" -- you have to study. I do not care, you have to study if you want to learn Spanish. On the other hand, "debes de estudiar", is like saying you probably study a lot. That is to say you speak Spanish very well so my guess is you probably study a lot, "debes de estudiar mucho". Now, we have the "should" problem. What is "should" in Spanish? Well, let me tell you that the work of should in Spanish is done by the conditional of the verb "debes", "deberías". This conditional of "debes" makes the suggestion. So you can say: you should study. Otherwise you will not speak Spanish ever. Now, there are other nuances of these words so if you are interested in learning them, watch my video and learn more Spanish :))

Best Spanish teacher on RUclips 😊
agreed!
Definitely
Cutest, too!!
Totally agree. I watched her videos a lot during the quarantine and I also listen to some Spanish podcasts and now I really know the language much better.
I disagree. Super Holly is way better
For someone who is not an English speaker, you speak better English than many native born English speakers that I know. I long for the day when my Spanish is as good as your English.
Even when you're "mean" you're charming.
Sassy is the word.
She is the el numero uno teacher, and looks ageless over the years! Gracias Ana!
Puedes decir "Esto es la mejor maestra"
This girl is the Best. We should all send her some dolares to make sure she keeps making videos and continues being happy and sparkly 🥰.
I've actually been corrected by a native speaker a couple of times when used DEBES DE in the way you teach here, and I was confused! It helps to know that native speakers don't know the grammar rule, so I'm sure that's why it happened. I won't doubt myself again!
De hecho alguien me ha corregido al usar DEBES DE como Ud. enseña aquí, y me confundí mucho. Me sirve bastante saber que incluso los hablantes nativos no saben bien la regla de gramática, por eso me hace sentir más segura de por qué me pasó así. Voy a sentirme más segura en adelante. ¡Gracias, profe!
The best RUclips learning Spanish channel I ever subscribed to.
Muchas gracias de corazón :))
@@ButterflySpanish
De nada.
@@ButterflySpanish You're welcome
This might be the best breakdown for this subject on the internet.
I live in Spain. No one has been able to explain this to me even a little as well as you have in just 5 min.
THANK YOU!!! GRACIAS!!!!
Thanks for the tips lady.. I'm Mexican American, English is my first language, good to learn Latin American Spanish.
I've been learning on my own for 3 years. I thought I had "deber" locked down but turns out I was still able to learn something here. Its always good to look at another perspective. Thank you for the videos you are awesome
Teaching Spanish requires a lot of dedication. You are a great teacher.
You so cute and your teaching ex ordinary ,,,I have been starting to learn Spanish since 15 days ...you are the best Spanish teacher I ever seen on RUclips...I addicted to ur channel to polishing up Spanish....
Muchísimas gracias por tu trabajo y por todo. Estaba aprendiendo español con otro hombre que estaba enseñando en ruso pero cuando te encuentré empezé a aprender contigo. Porque enseñas muy comprensible.
Me da muchísimo gusto :)))
Hola Anna. I was super exited to learn spanish. Lucky for me that youtube recomended this chanel and I love it immediately❤. I just learn about 2 days ago. Pls take the topic for the begginer.
Muchas gracias, and love from Indonesia🇲🇨
I have finally found the native Mexican Spanish teacher. I watched many teachers from Spain but i am interested in mexican spanish, thanks for your great work
Muchas gracias a ti por tomar mis clases :)
Best Spanish teacher on RUclips!!
I love you. I love how you teach. This is my second time to watch this one and .... ahora entiendo ❤❤❤
Deberias venir a Englaterra y deberiamos salir de algo comer. Eres una profesora divertida y tienes una personalidad muy linda. Espero que tengas mucha suerte en tu vida.
Thank you for that, always useful to hear conversational Spanish from a Spanish speaker,
Sí, muchas gracias por ver mi video :))
Hey Justin
Hi, Sir! I am from Costa Rica, and I recognize this channel is really good for people who wants to speak Spanish. I plenty recommend to continue learning here!! I have a deal for you... Haha! I share my native Spanish with you, and you share your native English with me... Just in a very casual way, cause of course we both have limited time, as I am an insurance agent here in CR. And I can imagine you have your business. Let me know if it is interesting for you, so we can share more details. Have a great night and excuse this unorthodox way, I ve always thought everyone have imagined someone doing this.... And, this is me!!!!
Well, I am hardly telling you something you don’t know, because I see many of the comments are in the same vein… You are such a glorious Maestra de Espanol.!!!
You make the class is fun, funny entertaining, memorable, and I find myself smiling and laughing often which tickles my heart to the moon and back! Thank you dear Ana!
Gracias a ti :)
I like the way you occasionally speak to us in Spanish while teaching each lesson. My suggestion is to slow down a little when you jump into Spanish. I enjoyed this lesson and you are a wonderful teacher.
No way! Try listening to Doorway to Mexico podcast, and it will help you develop your ear for the language. It sucks at first but you’ll be shocked when you start realizing that you’re understanding a lot more.
Thanks!
Thank you so much for the message at the end to not stop and keep going. You’re the best❤️
Hola mi unica profesora de español. Best of the best!
We missed so much Anna! Saludos desde Uganda 🇺🇬 ❤
She is very attractive teaching Spanish ... love u🥰🥰🥰🥰 God bless u 🙏
Even though sometimes I feel I'll never even understand a whole complex sentence, I definitely won't stop learning spanish, and you play a large part in making this decision, Ana. Muchas gracias for another very useful lesson!
Estamos en las mismas pero al revés, siento que por más que trate nunca entenderé el inglés.
I Miss you, ......the best teacher on RUclips
Si ,I forget about it ,but now I will continue ,,,,,,No me perdería ninguno de sus videos recién subidos......cuidate💚
Tú también :)
I am a beginner and watching your videos from the oldest to newest . Suddenly this new video pupped up and I watched it. 😍😍😍
Gracias por todo, Ana. "Debes de" es igual a "must have". Por exemplo: You must have studied hard to pass the exam.
And English speakers often pronounce it (incorrectly) as "must of", which matches the literal "debes de".
@@HarshColby and they SPELL it that way too -- makes me nuts.
@@mjt2231 lol, yes
Wrong
And when would you use "tienes que ...."?
Hola Ana, tu vídeo de consonantes y vocales me han ayudado mucho en 2019. Todavía tengo mucho que aprender. Debo estudiar más.
Muy bien. Excelente. Mucha suerte :))
@@ButterflySpanish Muchísimas gracias Mi profe
Veo tu vídeos desde Togo en Oeste África
Gracias por aclarar este tema! No he escuchado mucho de la estructura "deber + de + infinitivo" en mis estudios de español... Voy a intentar usarlo en mis conversaciones con los nativos! Muchas gracias una vez más por tus videos!!!
Great topic! I just stumbled upon you. The term you were looking for in English is “ don’t get hung up on this”😊.
I am now a subscriber!
I'm finding a spanish teacher but i finally found you.🤗🤗
Ay Ana, no me critica así jaja. Yo tenía mucho trabajo recientemente y he perdido muchos de tus videos. ¡También he extrañado tu comedia y manera de enseñar! Muchas gracias por enseñándome de este tema porque uso 'deberías' mucho y no supe que puede ser condescendiente, ups. Los veré tus videos más ahora ¡Yo prometo!
One of my favorite Spanish Teacher!! Been following you since 2016 ma'am! 🤩
Gracias profesora. Me debo de mirar todos de tus videos.
Hola Ana! No manches güey! My favorite teacher, my crush 😍 Gracias Spanish Butterfly! 🤗 🦋

Muchas gracias a ti por ver mis videos. Muchos saludos hasta Illinois. I had a student from there and she said you do not pronounce the s of Illinois. We say I-lee-noysssss, jojojo :)) in Spanish

muchos gracias miss anna and to all the Spanish learners I recommend taking courses on youtube from spanish with paul it really helped me so much and his voice helps!!
No. Ive watched Paul and others. Sometimes its good to look around. But I feel more connected with Anna. Half english half spanish it helps with my listening skills. And her personality pulls you in. But if your someone that needs to be taught without a spanish flare then maybe.
Your pronouciation and face expression are so much great
You are really language expert
Usted es el mejor !!
Muchas gracias :))
@@ButterflySpanish pero por favor , puede hacer una explicación sobre el subjuntivo ( cuando usar el subjuntivo en español)!!!
Estoy aprendiendo español. Me encanta tus videos. Me ayuda entender más. Lo siento, pero puede explicar en otro video las diferencias de deber + infinitivo, deber de + infinitivo, hay que, tengo que. Gracias
Mucho gracias Anna. Tus videos me están ayudando mucho. I hope my grammer is right. Maybe, usted would be more appropriate.
It's been such a long time and now I'm impressed by you're new personality you are beautiful
Btw I learned Spanish the last summer and I forgot everything
You teach very well, very understandable, clear and not boring.

Pero voy a ir vistar en 2 anos tal vez. So I'm trying to learn still and French. I love traveling to new places.
Como siempre, me encanta tus clases!
Do you have a video explain how Spanish differs to English in the way it makes a phrase in English such as "Fruit salad" into "Ensalada de frutas"? ...The fact that almost any word in English can act as an adjective such as "fruit" in this example where it can't in Spanish and requires "de" is something I have trouble with. I have never seen any lessons anywhere going into this and is well worth going into I think. Some nouns in Spanish seem to have an adjective form while others don't.
Saludos desde Turquía 😍
If you haven't already please donate to Ana. I can only imagine the time and energy she puts into developing these great lessons. Gracias
