In the Spanish language, it is very frequent that doubts arise when writing those terms that carry the letters ‘v’ and ‘b’, since their pronunciation is practically the same. That is why on many occasions we do not know if it is correct to write a certain word with ‘v’ or with ‘b’ and a clear example that can generate confusion is that of the verb carry or carry. Find out the correct way to write it in the following OneHowTo article.
carry
When searching for the term ‘carry’ in the Dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy (RAE), we verify that yes it is registered and that it is a verb of the first conjugation which comes from latin levāre. It is generally used to refer to the action of “driving something from one place to another far from the one in which the person using this verb is speaking or mentally situated”.
Examples:
- It is important that you remember carry the car to the mechanic for a full service.
- I will carry the jacket to the cleaners, now I come.
- You have to carry your sister to her piano class.
* llebar
On the contrary, if we introduce the term ‘llebar’ in the dictionary we can see that not registered and that the previous form ‘carry’ suggests to us when having a similar writing.
Therefore, we can conclude that ‘llebar’ written with ‘b’ is completely incorrect and that always we will have to write, instead, the verb ‘carry’ with ‘v’.
