También está correcto la contestación: "Yo estoy", pues viene del verbo estar. Además los verbos: estar, llegar y regresar son sinónimos. Volver (vuelvo), estar(estoy), llegar(llego). Entiendo que las dos premisas son correctas, tanto la que utilizas como la que utilicé en el contexto. 

Yes .. .I have the same question. John

While experimenting with nunca in negative sentences for a while, my instinct kept telling me to include the definite article in one particular construction, where it would not be required in any of the others. 

ie. Never eat sweets before dinner (imperative)

= No comas nunca LOS dulces antes de la cena

Could you clarify for me 1) if the article is actually required here at all, or 2) if it could be used correctly as an option.

Hello, I also fell into the trap of "puedes ver publicidad" but it was not shown as being an acceptable answer, 10 months after the last reply here.

Regarding o to ue verbs in the 1st person plural conjugation

For morir, we use muramos

For poder, we use podamos.

why the discrepancy using 'u' vs 'o' ?

Hola Inma,

Yes I also missed the meaning of "con" as you explained below. When I read this sentence I also translated it as "Don't come back with that girl" as if a disapproving parent were making their feelings known. To paraphrase it, "don't bring that girl back here again."

How might I translate that meaning?

Saludos

John

hello, 

I was wondering if there was a way to copy and paste the texts? I realise they are not just "mere" text files as you can click and find out meaning/grammar points etc but it'd help to review them without being online and without any help/hints.

thanks in advance.

This device is often used in story telling and especially in jokes. E.g. "A man goes into a pub and asks the barman ......" It adds a freshness and immediacy to the narrative.

In the sentence 'Les amenecé seriamente' I don't understand why the indirect object pronoun 'Les' is used. I would have thought it would have been a direct object pronoun ie 'Los' or 'Las'. Are 'they' not the direct object of the threatening? I seem to often have a problem with this. It's ok when it's a straightforward 'I gave the present TO her' for example where it is quite clear but in sentences like the one above I get very confused as it often seems the indirect object pronoun is used. Any advice greatly appreciated.
