buscar una parada

Grammar & Usage

verb phrase

neutral

How it works

Consists of the infinitive transitive verb 'buscar' (to look for) followed by the indefinite direct object noun phrase 'una parada' (a stop). In Spanish, 'buscar' does not require a preposition like the English 'for'. It is commonly used both for public transit stops and for making a physical stop during travel.
