Nos vs mos etc?
MOS at the end is just a conjugation that make the verb—— is something we are doing “we”rather than referring to yourself (yo..), You/, el,ella usted, when you cut off the last consonant of many verbs and add mos mean we (verb infinitive less consonant t plus mos) are doing something.
Eg. re: verb llavar:
We (nosotros) Llevamos
NOScan be can be ADDED TO THE END OF AN INFINITIVE AND MAKE THE INFINITIVE BE REFERRING TO SOMETHING THAT’S HAPPENING TO US. SO kinda means US. Like llevarNOS.
I don’t know all the times that you use it or don’t, but certainly if you’ve already got a verb like put a Play-Doh, etc. then you can add the NOS to the Infinitive of the net of the next verb in the sentence.
llevame vs llevanos vs llevamos
llevaMe= take/carry me
