Common Mistakes

  • Te van a mostrár opciones.

    The infinitive never carries an accent; the correct form is 'mostrar'.

  • Te van a mostrar opción.

    The noun must agree in number with the context; use the plural 'opciones' when several choices are expected.

  • Te van a mostrar opciones a ti.

    The indirect object pronoun 'te' already conveys the meaning; adding 'a ti' is redundant unless you need emphasis.

Alternatives

  • Te mostrarán opciones.

    They will show you options.

  • Se te mostrarán opciones.

    Options will be shown to you.

  • Te presentarán opciones.

    They will present you options.

Cultural Tip

In informal Spanish, the construction 'te van a + infinitivo' is very common. In more formal settings (e.g., speaking to a client or using 'usted'), you would say 'Se le mostrarán opciones' or 'Le mostrarán opciones'. Also, remember that 'mostrar' takes a direct object (las opciones) while the indirect object pronoun (te) indicates who receives the information.
