Hasta ver este video había tenido la impresión de que exclusivamente se usa la frase "de x a x" para decir "from x to x," pero dice el narrador que las Picotas del Jerte "darán la vuelta al mundo de paladar en paladar."
¿También habría sido aceptable decir "de paladar a paladar"?
Hi there,
in the explanation for el Futuro proximo it is stated that you always use the verb go + a + infinitive, but in the quizzes, some answers are without the a, and I don't understand when to use "go + a + infinitive" and when to just use "go + infinitive"
Thanks
Hola, I’m confused about the English translation, which uses the noun make-up (maquillaje in Spanish). However the Spanish uses the verb se maquilla, which I thought means to put on make up (Because of all the makeup she puts on..). Muchas gracias, Shirley.
Instead of using the 'double negative' in "espero que no haya ningún accidente porque si no ..." - could we also say: "espero que no haya ningún accidente porque si lo hay, será peor"? - i.e., arguing that it sounds clearer to word it as: "I hope that there is no accident, because if there is [one] then it will be [even] worse"... In English, certainly, some thought would be necessary in order to work out the meaning of: "I hope that there is no accident, because if not then it will be [even] worse". I suppose this is really just a 'matter of taste' -[in both languages? - I have the impression that double negatives are a complicated topic in Spanish].
is this correct? i worked in that company durante un año y 3 meses. or should i use the (por) ?
Hello, this lesson states that "Notice how for these verbs, -i- becomes -y- in all forms."
But I think that it is more correct to say that "a Y is added to the stem in all forms". Huir is an IR verb, so it's stem is HU, you aren't replacing an I.
Have I understood the lesson correctly?
Hello
I am using US International keyboard. I keep typing "está" but some how your programing is registering it as "es" and therefore marking my answers as incorrect. Qué pasa?
Hello Inma, I don't think you understood my question earlier.
I was wondering why there isn't the "personal a" before each name in the example. There is only one a in the example with 2 names. Why isn't there 2 personal a, before each name? In all your examples, the sentences only have one person in each of your examples. I know I've seen before an A before each person/pet when there are 2 or more in a sentence.
Why is it "a Paula y Cristina" and not "a Paula y a Cristina" ?
en el texto..
.. Si nunca visitaste México, hacelo en estas fechas. Creo que la vas a pasar muy bien...
questions
1. hacelo .. here does ´lo´ refer to ´viaje´ or something else ?
2. Shouldn´t it be ´hazlo´ instead of ´hacelo´
3. .. la vas a pasar.. what is ´la´ referring to? Don´t we usually say ´lo pasar bien´?
gracias como siempre
