Hi, re “si sigues”, is there a lesson on use of present subjunctive after si? I searched but didn’t find one. Saludos, Shirley.
Yo trabajo como secretaria en una empresa.I work as a secretary in a company.
Doesn't Como mean "how"? As in "Como estas" But in the example above it seems like it means "as". Also I have seen it mean "eat". Am I mixing something up here?
Thank you
¿Qué sobre "al final de cuentas"?
What is Tengo's exact meaning.
Is there a reason that the verb tense is "buscaria" "reduciria" instead of "busca" "reduce" etc.?
As equivalent English examples, may I suggest:
To be opened with care.
To be applied...
rather than "Let it be opened..." etc?
I don't understand why Indefinido is used in the example; "Nos gustamos desde el primer momento." It has a definite starting point, but the sentence implies a continuing action. In this case could Imperfecto also be used correctly?
I would have said “en el sol”, not “al sol”
Hello, my question is regarding the use of “les” for “you” rather than “you all”. It makes sense to me to use “le” for the formal usted and then “les” for the formal “you all” but I was never taught to use “les” for a singular person. The example I am referring to is:
Señor López, le entrego el paquete.
Mr. Lopez, I am delivering the package to you.Hoy les pago la renta a ustedes.Today I'm paying you the rent.If you do use “le” or “les” for usted, then how do you know whether to use “le” or “les”?
Thank you,
Alicia
