IWhat to watch for

Dejar is a regular -ar verb: dejo, dejas, deja, dejamos, dejáis, dejan. Its first meaning is to leave something somewhere or someone behind: dejo a mi hija en la guardería, siempre dejas las llaves en la mesa.

Two more uses matter just as much. Dejar + infinitive means to let or allow (mis padres no me dejan salir), and dejar de + infinitive means to stop doing something (desde hoy dejo de fumar). In Spain dejar also means to lend: ¿me dejas tu bici? Leaving a place is salir or irse, not dejar.
