Spanish verb poner
Now, we’ll see the uses of this verb. But, remember, sometimes depending on which country you are, the uses can change a little bit. Especially when you compare Latin America with Spain.
So, the first use of the verb is a reflexive verb and refers to the use of clothes. And, the translation is “to put on”. So, for example:
- -Me puse la remera
- -¡Hace calor! ¿Por qué te pusiste el abrigo?
- -Nos pusimos el buzo al revés
Then, the second use is as a verb of change (it is also reflexive) and we use it to refer to a sudden change of state. And, the translation is “to become”. So, for example:
- Me puse nerviosa
- Me puse feliz
- Te pusiste colorada
Finally, the last use is to refer to the action of placing things in a place. And, this is non-reflective. Then, the translation is “to put”. So, for example:
- Voy a poner agua a hervir
- Pongo el celular arriba de la mesa
- Ponemos la bicicleta en el balcon
On the other hand, we also have some expressions that we use with this verb.
-Me puse en pedo
(I got drunk)
-Me puso una multa
(He/she gaves me a fine)
-Me tengo que poner a estudiar/trabajar
(I have to start to study/work)
-Ponerse de pie
(to stand up)
-Ponerse de rodillas
(to kneel, to fall to one’s knees)
