Is there a rule for -cir and -cer verbs that are preceded by a consonant? Eg in a test the verb was zurcir in the yo form: zurzo and not zurzco, so does this form of verb only change the c > z as a rule?

Antonio lo ha hecho por mí.

Hola,

Antonio lo ha hecho por mí. --> when we say this, shouldn't we use para to imply someone or something receives benefits from an action?

Gracias a todos.

Estudiando violín

I put "estudio violín" and it was corrected to "estoy estudiano violín". Don't they both work? I thought present progressive tense meant the speaker was studying violin right at that moment?

Has de saber, que ocupan 1.800 metros cuadrados.......

Hola Inma,

I'm not familiar with this construction "Has (Hacer) de."

I have looked it up (WordReference) but can't reconcile the meanings that they provide, with the phrase in this exercise.

Can you help with it please?

Saludos

John

English Format

Hi!

I think if the English was restructured for a few of the examples, the distinction between haber/tener would be clearer. Essentially the past participle would be moved towards the end of the sentence while placing the object after have/has.

For example: You have two rooms painted. Marta and I have a trip to Egypt planned.

Thanks!

Suggestion, change “new” to “old”Mi madre necesita que yo ________ mi falda nueva. My mother needs me to darn my new skirt.(HINT: Conjugate "zurcir" in El Presente Subjuntivo.) Hi, this is an odd sentence; new items don’t need mending. Old items do. Consider changing “new”to “old” (skirt). Saludos, Shirley. zurza
