Hi,
In the above sentence, could 'la culpa' be replaced with 'culpar'? This way it would be like English.
Thanks.
Best regards,

Why is cantor translated to PLAY instead of SING in the example?
Hello,
In the following sentence I expected está, as "but it is very cold". Have I got this wrong?
"El agua es clara, pero esta muy fría."
Thanks
There is another lesson about using the pretérito perfecto after esperar to indicate a completed action in the future. Is there any difference in sentence construction between these two cases or would intent have to be discerned entirely from context?
In the second example, Nosotros redecoramos la casa hace unos meses, given that the intended meaning is "our house," why isn't it written "nuestra la casa. . ?" Thanks.
I find that both are the same? May someone point out the differences?Thanks
In the lesson, these sentences do not make sense to me in English:
Ofrecerían más descuentos cuando pasara la temporada de invierno.They might offer more discounts when the winter season was over.Pararíamos para descansar cuando llegáramos a Toledo.We might stop for a rest when we arrived in Toledo.Why are pasara and llegáramos translated in English as the past tense when they refer to future events that haven't happened yet? It sounds more natural to me to say "when the winter season IS over" and "when we ARRIVE in Toledo."
Hola,
Can that pronoun set be used as per previous lessons - el cual, los cuales, etc?
Gracias,
Álvaro va a trabajar en un bar este verano.
Sometimes the English is contrived to make a point in relation ta a specific lesson. These can be quite false. To say Alvaro is working in a bar this summer means it is now summer and that is what Alvaro is doing. If asked: "What is Alvaro going to be doing this summer?" the response could well be : " He's workking in a bar this summer" meaning that is what he is going to do.
Why not give the English as " Alvaro is going to work" OR " is going to be working in a bar this summer". ?. it is less artificial and makes much more sense. (And is less irrtating)
Do you mean that *ese* is used when both conditions are true or just one?
“ese, esa, esosand esas are translated as that and thoseand they all refer to:1. objects/people that are near the listener (not the speaker)
2. objects/people that are far from the speaker (medium distance)”
