Hola,
Una de las personajes del programa española que veo dice lo siguiente:
"A ti se te da muy bien coser."
¿Qué significa? En este caso, "te" es un ejemplo del dativo del interés, ¿verdad? ¿A quién es conjugado "darse"? Al final, ¿hay una lección sobre esta construcción?
Muchas gracias
Happy birthday to you. Why is ti used and not te? I can’t find a lesson on the use of ti instead of te. For instance para ti
Yo fui a casa de mi abuela la semana pasada.
I went to my grandmother house last week.
Why is this not fui a la casa rather than fui a casa?
In the sentence: my girlfriend says that you will be worth it. Why would you use valdrás, instead of valdrá la pena? You are not valuing it, you are just worth it.
I'm having trouble understanding this answer in a study plan test. Could you please explain.
Ella estaba lavándose el pelo cuando él llegó.
She was washing her hair when he arrived.
When it is combined with another action that interrupts the ongoing action at that time. The interrupting action is generally in the simple past (see the last example where the ongoing action "She was washing her hair" was interrupted by another sudden action "he arrived”.
Te ________ hasta que me aburrí y me fui.
I was waiting for you until I got bored and left.
era esperando
estaba esperando-----my answer
estuve esperando------correct Kwiziq answer
fui esperando
To me, it seems that the waiting was interrupted by "got bored and left."
I would have thought that A had similar structure to B, as in action#1 was interrupted by action#2:
A: Te ________ hasta que me aburrí y me fui.
I was waiting for you until I got bored and left
B: Ella estaba lavándose el pelo cuando él llegó.
She was washing her hair when he arrived.
But the answer to A was “estuve esperando” not “estaba esperando.”
Does it mean that in B the woman didn’t stop washing her hair even the man arrived, but in A the waiting totally completed?
Es imposible ________ todo a la primera. It is impossible to understand everything at the first time.hi - I saw this question and thought ‘ es impossible’ would trigger the subjunctive, but the answer was the infinitive. If I click ‘explain this’ it takes me to the subjunctive page, which has ‘es imposible que’ - is the ‘que’ the only thing making it subjunctive then?
¡Hola a todos!
Thank you for this helpful exercise! :-)
I'm curios how to translate "No, es broma"? I mean, google tells me it means; "I'm kidding", and I understand that from the context - but is there maybe a comparison to an English equivalent of this expression? :-)
¡Muchas gracias!
