Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries, the verb organizar is used for everything from large festivals to small meet‑ups. If you want to sound more formal, you can replace “organiza” with “coordina” or “dirige”. Remember that “evento” is masculine, so the correct demonstrative is “este”, not “esta”. Also, always write the accent on “¿Quién?” – omitting it is a common mistake that can change the meaning.
