Common Spanish verbs you need in the kitchen

Here is a list of verbs that we use when talking about actions or activities in the kitchen. Please note that in some cases you may find synonyms.

Ask questions with cooking vocabulary.

When you're in the kitchen, there are some common sentence structures to help you ask questions and improve your communication. Remember that each structure has its own purpose or intention.

ask someone to do something

It is very likely that at some point you will need to ask someone to do a certain job in the kitchen. Although there are different ways to ask a question in Spanish, the following sentence structure is very common.

Why [conjugate] + [infinitive verb] + [noun]?

Come! Can you take the cake out of the mold? Come here! Could you take the cake out of the mold?

Mom, can I have two more slices of ham? Mom, can I cut two more slices of ham?

As you may know, "Power" is used in many questions. However, for this question to be relevant to cooking, the infinitive verb required in the sentence structure must be a Spanish verb for cooking.

ask someoneforsomething

Instead of asking someone to do something in the kitchen, you should ask themFor something,so you need to make some adjustments to the above structure. See how to do this, plus some examples, below.

[indirect pronoun] + Power [conjugated] + [infinitive verb] + [noun]?

Can you pass me the can opener?
Can you pass me the can opener?

Remember this when you ask someoneforalgo (an object) You don't necessarily need the verb in the infinitive to be a verb in Spanish for cooking. Either way, you should use a noun to refer to any utensil you find in the kitchen.

Also, you must add an indirect pronoun in Spanish to your sentence. As you may have noticed in the previous examples, indirect pronouns can appear in different parts of the sentence. However, this flexibility still follows some rules. learn more herehow and where to put indirect pronouns in english.

To ask if someone was doing something in the kitchen.

When you talk about cooking in Spanish, it is very likely that at some point you will need to ask people if they have done or completed a specific activity. In that case, you can use one of the following basic sentence structures. You can change the verbs and nouns to match the cooking vocabulary you have learned in Spanish so far.

Already + [past tense verb] + [noun]?

However, if you just want to ask someone if they have done something in the past (without emphasis), you can use the following sentence structure. Don't forget to customize it to include some Spanish cooking vocabulary.

[past tense verb] + [noun]?

Give instructions in the kitchen.

Another way to use your cooking vocabulary in Spanish is to give instructions. This is very useful when you are sharing your recipes with someone else or, as mentioned above, simply giving someone instructions on what to do in the kitchen. This is the sentence structure you need, plus some examples.
