How come for certain reflexive verbs we use le instead of se? For example Él le gusta la chaqueta. The jacket is pleasing to him.
This is taken from a rather unpleasant context. But I still want to know what the grammar behind it is. Why does this have se at the end? Would ¡Exprópie! work the same way?
As always, thank you!
I’m not quite clear about the use of the ‘se tardan’ plural. The examples given are with a plural number of hours/minutes. Are the time units the ‘subject’ of the passive? In other words if the time was one hour or one minute, could you still use the plural verb? Or is there some other rule that indicates singular or plural? Or are they just equivalent?
From your examples we have
Hace viento
It is windy
Está soleado.
It is sunny
Hay niebla.
It is foggy
How do we know when to use which one please?
Select the option with the verb in the correct form of the imperfect tense.
Cuando era pequeño, a Hassan siempre le gusta el güiro. Cuando era pequeño, a Hassan siempre le gustaba el güiro. Cuando era pequeño, a Hassan siempre le gustaban el güiro. Cuando era pequeño, a Hassan siempre le gustan el güiro.Is it de la mañana, en la mañana or por la mañana? Are they interchangeable? It's always a guess for me.
First of all, how to decide when to use despertar and when despertarse?
Second question, why can't we use levantarse in place of despertarse?
Hola Inma, - hopefully you will be seeing this or it can be forwarded to you :)
I was glad to hear your voice. Hope you and yours are well and the team are all well.
1) I was interested in finding out why the author chose to use the verb "estar" instead of "ser" for
"It's delicious" regarding "harira" It seems to me this would always be "delicious"!
(1-1: I wish I could copy/paste here, but for some reason can't. Is there a way I could do that?
Also I like to keep track of my lessons and errors and notes etc.)
Gracias,
Nicole
What is the difference between empezar and comenzar? Are they synonyms or does one or the other apply in different situations?
