0:00.0	No pelein.
0:03.1	Join us on a rigorous step-by-step journey to fluency.
0:08.1	I'm Timothy, and this is LearnCraft Spanish.
0:12.9	Today we're going to learn two new verbs that are pretty easy to use.
0:17.2	We'll start with pelear, which means to fight.
0:21.9	So, for example, I don't want to fight.

1:18.7	fight por something, or

1:33.4	For example, I don't want you to fight with her.
1:43.0	No I want to play with her. And of course the negative imperatives all use subjunctives.
