"piénsatelo dos veces" ... think about it twice

Hola Inma, I have been trying to work out why both direct and indirect objects are present here.

I can't find a reference for a pronominal form of pensar, but on doing the exercise a second time, I noticed that the lesson for the se aspectual was listed as being relevant. Poder isn't given as one of the verbs that typically can take this construction, but does this explain why the reflexive pronoun is being used here, making the verb poder more "intense / complete" as explained in the example of "irse" in the lesson; .... or is there another explanation altogether. Espero que puedas ayudarme. Saludos. John

Using traer with "we"

There is a lot to unpack in this lesson and I'm finding parts of it quite difficult to comprehend. For example, I see three forms of traer used in examples that express "we." Also examples for "can we have" that do not contain a conjugation of "poder."

Also I don't know where to find explanations of the different tenses, preteritos, etc. of both traer and llevar that are used in this lesson, so a link to the related lesson would help us out. Thank you. I can tell this was a difficult one to put together and I appreciate your effort.

Re: Reply to Pati's question

Hello

I searched to find the reply but was not successful. Could you let me know the reply to her question. Thank you. Nicole

This is Pati's question below:

"I'm unsure when (and when not) to use a + pronouns when also using an indirect object pronoun. I understand emphasis, but not real clear when to place emphasis. When I use it normally, it seems redundant. "

Should be "impose" not "impouse" for imponer

I checked to make sure it wasn't a word I didn't know in English ;)

Conjugate soler in El Presente (present tense). El problema es la pronunciación de la palabra "todas".

En esta lección Yo pienso que hay un ejemplo de una pronunciación que no está correcta. Este ejemplo sigue: Suelo ir a natación todas las semanas. Específicamente es la palabra "todas". Por favor escucha esta palabra Y dígame si es correcto.

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
