The test asked to translate "I like white wine" to Spanish, but indicated "Me gusta el vino blanco" was the correct answer. The English sentence seemed unspecific to me, as though the speaker was making a general statement about a category of wine they liked. To add an article seems to imply the speaker likes a specific kind of wine ("I like the white wine"). Is this the same implication in Spanish? Could one say "me gusta vino blanco"? Or is an article always required, and unspecific preferences would require "un/una"?
Thank you.
I'm having difficulty distinguishing how to phrase the following two sentences in Spanish:
My old friend is visiting me today. (meaning he and I have been friends for a very long time.)
My old friend is visiting me today. (meaning my friend is very old in years.)
Hola,
¿Qué es la diferencia de significado entre "Alguien no tiene que hacer algo" y "Alguien no tiene por qué hacer algo"? Y ¿por qué no se use "por que", sino "por qué" con el acento?
Gracias! (I hope that all made sense!)
I would translate quería as I wanted or was wanting. Thank you.
Este se negó a entregárselo. What does Este mean here? I know it means usually means “this”.
Thanks a lot,
Shirley.
If estar is to be used with a location, why use ser to discuss where one is from?
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.llevar and tomar mean ¨take¨, are they the same?
Hello, could esto and aquello suit in these sentences ?
If not, when can I use esto and aquello ? and when musn't I use ello ?
Muchas gracias.
