✕Common Mistakes

  • Me enfoco a la resolución.

    The verb ‘enfocar’ takes the preposition ‘en’, not ‘a’, when indicating what you focus on.

  • Me enfoco en el resolución.

    ‘Resolución’ is feminine; the article must be ‘la’, not ‘el’.

  • Me enfoco en la resolver.

    ‘Resolver’ is a transitive verb; you need a noun after ‘en’, not a verb infinitive.

↔Alternatives

  • Me concentro en la solución.

    I concentrate on the solution.

  • Me dedico a resolver el problema.

    I devote myself to solving the problem.

  • Estoy trabajando en la solución.

    I’m working on the solution.

Cultural Tip

In Spanish, the construction ‘enfocarse en + noun’ is common in business and academic discourse. The word ‘resolución’ can also refer to a formal decision (e.g., a board resolution), so be aware of the context: if you mean a technical solution, ‘solución’ is often preferred, while ‘resolución’ sounds slightly more formal or official.
