entender a su hijo
entender su pinto de vista
in english we don't use any preposition with the verb 'understasnd'
but why in spanish, do we use preposition 'a' sometimes?
Hi -
Wondering if you could explain when to use le instead of la or lo? I usually think of le as “to him” or “to her” like an indirect object. But I am not sure. Thank you!
In one of the quizes engish scentence "After the blow, you didn't remember anything" one is asked to conjugate recordar in the El Pretérito Imperfecto tense. I used "recordaba" but this was marked as incorrect. recordabas was marked as corrrect. Why is the "You formal" conjugation not correct for the above scentence?
I chose "quisieron" because there isn't any verbal clue that they actually went rambling and "tried", so how can one decide which is the correct answer? They could have had the desire without the intention!
I am struggling to work out the semantic structure and 'rationale' of this piece: "Ni qué decir tiene que no necesitas, ni flores en el pelo, ni vestido de flamenca,..." - particularly its first four words?
When a noun is used to describe the weather, hacer is used but when an adjective or participle is used then the verb is estar: En otoño, hace viento -v- en otoño está ventoso.
Pero why is ser used for: en otoño es incomodo? Or should it be está?
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.
I use a tablet to practice Lawless Spanish while on the treadmill. I am unable to place accent marks with the tablet, usually this is not a problem as those answers go into the nearly correct column. My answer to: Los estudiantes ya _____ las instrucciones, han leido was marked wrong. This is inconsistent and confusing. Please look into this.
Sometimes the answers require the feminine 'a' but there isn't any context in the question as to the gender of the subject.
Unless I'm mistaken, which is highly probable :)
cheers
Brian
