Q

Marquen un encuentro

A

The use of “marquen” is due to the verb “marcar” (to mark, schedule, arrange) being conjugated in the imperative mood for ustedes (you all). Here’s a breakdown:

Why “marquen”?

1.	Imperative Mood:
*	The imperative is used to give commands or make requests.
*	“Marquen” is the command form for ustedes, addressing multiple people formally or in general.
2.	Plural Subject:
*	If the request is directed at more than one person, “marquen” (you all mark) is appropriate.
*	For example:
*	Marquen un encuentro para discutir el tema. (Set up a meeting to discuss the topic.)
3.	Formality:
*	In many Spanish-speaking contexts, ustedes is the default plural “you,” whether formal or informal (especially in Latin America).
*	If the command were directed at one person informally, it would be “marca.”

Comparison Table for marcar in the imperative:

Subject Imperative Form Example
Tú (informal) Marca Marca un encuentro. (Set up a meeting.)
Usted (formal) Marque Marque un encuentro. (Set up a meeting.)
Vosotros (Spain) Marcad Marcad un encuentro. (Set up a meeting.)
Ustedes Marquen Marquen un encuentro. (Set up a meeting.)

Summary:

“Marquen” is used to address multiple people (ustedes) in a formal or plural context, making it the correct choice when speaking to a group.
