✕Common Mistakes

  • Trabajé con mi equipó.

    The noun *equipo* never takes an accent; adding one changes the word to a non‑existent form.

  • Trabajé en mi equipo.

    *Trabajar en* + *equipo* means “to work in a team” (as a member), not “to work with my team”. The nuance is different.

  • Trabaje con mi equipo.

    Missing the accent on the preterite *trabajé* turns it into the present subjunctive *trabaje*, which changes the meaning entirely.

↔Alternatives

  • Colaboré con mi equipo.

    I collaborated with my team.

  • Trabajé en equipo.

    I worked as a team.

  • Realicé mi trabajo junto a mi equipo.

    I performed my work alongside my team.

Cultural Tip

In many Spanish‑speaking workplaces, stressing the word *equipo* signals a collective mindset; employers value teamwork and often ask candidates to describe how they *trabajaron con su equipo*. Note that *trabajar con* can also mean “to work for” a person or company, so adding *mi* before *equipo* removes any ambiguity.
