The sentence 'Voy a aprovechar este trozo de tela para hacerme una falda', is repeated from an above example block, and doesn't match the intent of 'Sometimes we can use "aprovechar" with the same meaning as above but with no direct object.'
Maybe the example sentence at the bottom of the lesson was meant to be included: 'Al cancelarse la clase de español, los estudiantes aprovecharon para irse a tomar una cerveza juntos.', as it isn't shown elsewhere.
"Do you have a cellphone?" (formal) = "Tiene usted un celular".
Yes yes yes, I know it's more common to have "Usted tiene" but that is also more ambiguous of a statement vs a question. "Tiene usted" leaves no question of it AND it's presented in the lesson as possible and I was still marked wrong saying I should have just used "Tiene". That is a real basic mistake for a website that I trust to teach me more Spanish than I have learned on Duolingo, especially when Inma already stated below apparently you added it to correct answers a year ago.
Hola Inma,
These constructions have always confounded me and I have learned to accept them without being able to understand the "rationale."
Thank you very much for such a clear explanation. Saludos. John
I don't understand this question. What about ella hermana _______de novio. What will be the answer?
Do the grammar rules for "nunca" here also apply for "tampoco". Consider the following four sentences.
Ella no pudo entender tampoco la pregunta.
Ella no pudo entender la pregunta tampoco.
Ella no pudo tampoco entender la pregunta.
Ella tampoco pudo entender la pregunta.
why is this not accepted as correct when A mí me molesta.... is?
It would seem that "foggy" is an adjective and therefore está would be used instead of hay. This one is really confusing for me.
Hi,
Could 'el pelo' be removed from the above sentence and still retain the same meaning. I assume that peinarse means to comb one's own hair.
Thanks.
Colin
