Una pared de mi habitacion es rosa. I thought that walls and rosas had to agree in number? Adjective agrees with the noun in number?? I am new at this, so sorry if it sounds very elementary.
Thank you.
Hello, when I want to translate "they hit her" (occurring in the past for a period), it is translated as "le pegaban" or "la golpeaban". Why is it an indirect object pronoun for pegar but direct for golpear?
I find this concept a bit confusing and awkward. "Las joyas estaban siendo robadas por el ladron." I feel it should be simpler, "las joyas fueron robadas por el ladron."
I did not see any discussion as to whether you can split the pronouns and put just one on the end of the infinitive/gerund:
Tengo un libro nuevo y me quierolo leer pronto.
Tengo un libro nuevo y lo quierome leer pronto. (pronoun ordering???)
Would either of these forms be acceptable?
You can't say we don't need to use and then need to use. You can either say:
We don't need to use you may / can use the infinitive or;
We don't need to "can't" use followed by must use the infinitive.
Esta lectura generaliza en exceso sobre los pueblos indígenas de Latinoamérica y sus creencias. Vale la pena mencionar que el Día de Pachamama es celebrado en solo ciertas partes de América del Sur, no en todo Latinoamérica, y sólo por ciertos grupos indígenas, no todos. Como menciona esta lectura, Pachamama es una diosa inca y de por sí su fiesta se celebra en los países donde viven las comunidades indígenas de ascendencia inca, es decir, Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador y Perú. Hay otras comunidades indígenas no-incas que viven en los países arriba mencionados que no veneran a Pachamama y más allá de eso, hay otros países latinoamericanos en América del Sur, Centroamérica y América del Norte donde desconocen la tradición de Pachamama.
Una frase incial más apropiada para esta lectura sería, "El Día de Pachamama fue celebrado hace escasos días en *algunos* pueblos indígenas de *Sudamérica*".
Is there any guidance at all as to which of the accepted placement options is preferred in a given situation? Is the choice totally down to the speaker? Which option is/are most commonly used?
In the examples above the translation is in present continuous, but in Spanish the sentence is just using present simple. Is there a difference in meaning between:
En dos dias me mudo a Mexico.
En dos dias estoy mudandome a Mexico.
Gracias!
