    How it works

    This structure uses the indirect object pronoun 'me' (to/for me) followed by the third-person singular preterite verb 'llegó' (arrived) and the grammatical subject 'un mensaje' (a message). In Spanish, verbs of arrival like 'llegar' often take an inverted word order (Verb + Subject) with an indirect pronoun indicating the recipient. It expresses the passive or spontaneous reception of digital communication or mail.
