Hola Shui, Inma y Anna,
¡Estoy tan feliz con este reader!
Muchísimas gracias
Is there a reason why "and you can see advertising" translates as "es posible encontrar publicidad." Would "y [se] puede ver publicidad be acceptable?
Mi abuela espera que ________ con ella este domingo. My grandmother hopes that I'll have lunch with her this Sunday.The answer is coma. But “have lunch” is almuerce.
[A comment rather than a question]: All '-erir' verbs [apart from the barely used 'enjerir'] change the e to ie:, e.g. sugerir, referir, preferir, diferir, transferir, requerir and a host of others. A similar rule applies to [all !] '-vertir' verbs: convertir, divertir(se), etc. etc.... On the other hand, all '-etir', '-edir' and '-egir' verbs adopt the e>i change.... With help from a CD which enabled words to be listed in reverse-alphabetical order, I examined the contents of my CLAVE dictionary, and posted the results in http://dlmcn.com/ir_verbs.html (the accents are properly represented in http://DLMcN.com/irverbs.doc ).
Ya que is said many times throughout and mostly seems to mean because. I have never seen this before, are there other things that ya que can mean?
Hola
1.Mi madre prepara el almuerzo a la una y media.My mum prepares lunch at half past one.
Do you have to say "el almuerzo" instead of just "almuerzo"?
2.Salgo de casa a las ocho en punto.I leave the house at eight o'clock precisely.
why is it "casa" instead of "la casa"?
Gracias,Fred
What is the rule for using "mientras" or "mientras que"?
For example:
Escribo mientras que él come. Why can't I say: Escribo mientras él come.
Él habla mientras yo leo. Why can't I say: Él habla mientras que yo leo.
I cannot see any difference in syntax, usage or meaning between these two sentences, yet three native speakers have all told me they would only say the first, but could not tell me why or give me any grammatical rule. Please help... someone/anyone.
Can I use it without and with que interchangeably?
