Hola,
Could we say something like ‘qué menos poco’, etc, to emphasise to an even greater extent the very little of the action/ verb that is going on?
Gracias,
How do we know when to use recordar vs acordarse de? Is one used more than the other in some regions or for certain occasions/emotions?
E.g. Siempre nos acordaremos de ellos.
Nos pusimos muraos (we pigged out out), i get that it’s an expression, but what does muraos literally translate into? Thanks a lot, Shirley.
Hola,
Los mariscos en Grecia estaban riquísimos
I would have said eran riquísimos - because it's a characteristic.
Why am I wrong? :)
Gracias,
1st table of examples. Why do you use 'tocara' in the third sentence when referring to 'they'? Should it not be 'tocaran'?
may i summarise and say that igual de... que is used for non quantity or another way, quality comparisons only? for example, we can use tanto... como for 'tiene tanto dinero como yo', but we cant use it with igual de. non quantity or quality comparisons which are adjectives, adverbs.
Hola Inma,
1. "hacen diferentes actividades [como]" ...The translation offered was "different activities such as ....": I wrote tal como for "such as" and was marked incorrect. My dictionary gives tal como as "such as / for instance" and this seems to be correct for the sentence. My dictionary gives como as "such as" as well, but with the meaning "similar to." Would a better translation have been "different activities like ......."?
2. This is about the use of "preocuparse de." The translation offered is "since they look after them at all times." I understood that the use of " preocuparse de" indicates that you worry about something in the way of occupying your mind / concerning yourself, while "preocuparse por" indicates that you may be worried about something or someone. The more research I do on this the more confusing it becomes because "ocuparse de" also seems to mean look after someone, and that seems to be closer to the translation. Either way my suggestion of preocuparse por was marked incorrect.
It would be great to have some guidance on this.
Saludos. John
