I notice that in the test question "iba" was used, but in the example here the preterite "fueron" is used. How do we know which to use and when?
Is it my imagination, or is the speaker saying "yo soy debajo" instead of "yo soy bajo"?
This completed quiz does not show on the Brainmap. Can you help?
In the examples we have “llegar a casa”, “salgo de casa”, and there is also the expression “estoy en casa”. None of these expressions use articles. They also all use verbs of movement or location.
Do we ever use the definite article with “casa”, for example, to say “I’m going back to the house” by saying “Regreso a la casa”? Or does it change the English translation if we omit the definite article, that is, if we say “Regreso a casa” does it mean “I’m going back home”?
I know this is off topic but you use many rich examples that provoke questions.
Can I exchange de for como?
E.g.
trabajo de secretaria
trabajo como contable
________ afilada hacha. The sharpened axe.HINT: Bear in mind the adjective is in front of the noun
Can I assume La is the correct answer because the adjective is before the noun, but if it is without an adjective then it would be El?
There is an error above.
I am confused after getting an answer wrong in a test and then reviewing the subsequent lesson.
In a recent test, this sentence was given to complete. "No me gusto nada hacer ejercicio _____________." My answer was "después de comer," when in fact the answer was "después de comiendo."
I went back to review the lesson and the lesson states that after the preposition "de" comes the infinitive form of the verb to say the "ing" form of the verb. Now I am confused as to why my answer of "después de comer" is not correct. When do you use the infinitive? and when do you use the present participle (i.e. ending "ando" or "iendo") after the preposition de?
