Grammar point: Evidential markers
At CEFR C1, mastering evidential markers like «por lo visto» is crucial for conveying source, commitment and stance in Spanish. While you might know «visto» as a form of «ver» ('seen'), its role inside this marker is distinct and adds significant depth to your communication. It doesn't change the factual content of a sentence but rather how the speaker knows it.
