When a word ends in -o or -a, how do we know which is preferred? When to use -illo, -illa, etc. and when to use -ito, -ita, etc.? For example, is it gatito or gatillo for a little cat? Chiquita or chiquilla for a little girl? Or are both acceptable endings? Thanks in advance for clearing this up.
Is there any difference between the conjugation of "pensar" and that of the other semi-regular "stem-changing -ar verbs" in a previous lesson? Just wondering why "pensar" was singled out for a lesson of its own.
I always thought "lo" meant "the thing", is this correct in some other context?
Four examples in the lesson. In the last three ,you could translate con lo que as "despite"but that would not make sense in the first example and seems not to fit the pattern.
No sé cómo no estás agotado con lo que corres.I am surprised you are not exhausted with all the running you do. ¿Vas a salir con lo que llueve?Are you going out despite all that rain? Me sorprende que esté tan delgado con lo que come.I can't believe how thin he is given how much he eats. Con lo que me ha costado este curso y ahora no es válido.After all the effort I made to do this course and now it turns out that it's not valid.I chose the Latin American option rather than the Spanish, but I am often hearing a lisp spoken such as, "Laura y Sarah son francesas." The "c" in francesas is spoken with a lisp sound, which is not the way it would be pronounced in Latin America.
Gracias !
porque dice eso no es correcto en el primer paso
Thanks a lot,Shirley
In the example given:
"¿Tienes algún problema? No, pero gracias por preguntar."
Why is it not "algúnas" to match the gender of problema?
I was wondering why there is no comma in some sentences containing a clause - for example:
A medida que salían de la clase les devolvíamos los móviles a los estudiantes.
Conforme vayan llegando los invitados ofréceles una copa de vino.
