    How it works

    This is a verb phrase consisting of the verb 'esperar' (to wait for/to expect) followed by an indefinite article 'un' (a/an) and the noun 'paquete' (package). 'Esperar' inherently includes the meaning of 'for', so no separate preposition is needed after it in Spanish when followed by a direct object.

    Sample sentences

    Estoy esperando un paquete importante de Amazon.

    I am waiting for an important package from Amazon.

    ¿Has podido esperar un paquete durante tanto tiempo sin que llegara?

    Have you been able to wait for a package for so long without it arriving?

    Mañana debo esperar un paquete en casa, así que no podré salir.

    Tomorrow I have to wait for a package at home, so I won't be able to go out.

    Quick facts

    gender:The noun 'paquete' is masculine, hence 'un' (masculine indefinite article).
    verb_conjugation:The verb 'esperar' is a regular -ar verb. It takes a direct object without a preposition. If referring to a person, 'a' would be used (e.g., 'esperar a mi hermano').
