recubramos

Recubramos is the present-subjunctive form of the Spanish verb recubrir, used when the subject is “nosotros” (we) and the clause requires the subjunctive mood. Recubrir means to coat, cover, or line with a layer of material. The form recubremos (indicative present) is different from recubramos, which is the subjunctive form needed in contexts that express doubt, desire, necessity, or hypothetical scenarios.

Usage and context

Recubrir is a transitive verb, so recubrimos appears in clauses that influence or depend on another action, often in formal, technical, or instructional writing. In everyday speech, speakers may use the indicative recubrimos to state a straightforward action, but in sentences that express obligation, expectation, or possibility, the subjunctive recubremos is appropriate. Common contexts include manufacturing, construction, and scientific writing, where coating procedures are described as steps to be performed.

Examples

- Es importante que recubremos la superficie antes de aplicar el barniz. (It is important that we coat the surface before applying varnish.)

- Para garantizar la adherencia, debemos recubremos las piezas con una capa uniforme. (To ensure adhesion, we should coat the pieces with a uniform layer.)

- Que recubramos todas las áreas afectadas es parte del protocolo. (That we coat all affected areas is part of the protocol.)
