The sentence “¿La estufa es difícil, quieres que te lo haga?” translates to “Is the stove difficult, do you want me to do it for you?” in English. This sentence is a combination of two questions:

1. ¿La estufa es difícil? – Is the stove difficult?
– “La estufa” means “the stove.”
– “Es” is the third person singular form of the verb “ser,” meaning “is.”
– “Difícil” means “difficult.”

2. ¿Quieres que te lo haga? – Do you want me to do it for you?
– “Quieres” is the second person singular present tense form of “querer,” meaning “do you want.”
– “Que te lo haga” is a dependent clause formed by “que” (that) + “te” (for you, to you, an indirect object pronoun) + “lo” (it, a direct object pronoun) + “haga” (I do, subjunctive mood of “hacer”).

To remember how this sentence is formed, keep in mind:
– “es” is the singular form of “to be” for permanent states in Spanish.
– “Quieres” is the direct translation of “do you want.”
– The subjunctive mood (“haga”) is often used after “querer” to express a wish or desire for someone else to do something.
