On a quiz question, my answer was marked wrong because I read "que se vaya" (irse) as "go away" instead of "is". This seems wrong to me. Irse means to GO away, not to BE away. The suggested answers don't even test the difference between "por mi" and "para mi".
What does "Por mí que se vaya bien lejos." mean?
I didn't want him to be far away.
I don't care if he is far away.
He went away just for me.
In my opinion he should go far away.
The vocabulary and long sentences should make this type of story A2 or even higher. Eamples, bodegon to mean still life and lienzo. I wish there were some easier real A1 stories for me to start with. I either have to forget them or spend a lot time
In the example “Ellos siempre estan comiendo” why is the present progressive tense used. In my research I learned that the progressive tense is used for temporary ongoing action. The use of siempre implies that it is not temporary.
In the statement: "Nosotros solemos comer en casa de mis padres los domingos."
Why don't we use "la casa de mis padres"?
Thanks.
I have not found a dictionary that shows ir to mean “get to”. Is it correct?
Thank you, Shirley.
My answer was marked " almost right" but you have the correct answer listed twice. Huh?
Judging by the very high quality of Spanish tuition offered by Kwiziq, I'm sure that you would like to ensure that your texts, too, always convey correct information. A "lunation" takes about 29½ days [this is an average, sometimes it can be several hours longer, or shorter] - not 28. So the moon does not perform 13 orbits every year. Instead, 12 of its circuits are completed in 354 days, so an Islamic year is usually about 11 days shorter than [our] Gregorian year.
Va a estudiar medicina por seguir la tradición familiar.
Le dieron el trabajo por ser el primo del director.
I think these sentences would be better translated as:
She is going to study medicine because it's the family tradition.
He was given the job for being the manager's cousin.
Seems like I have seen hacer used in sentences like this. For example. El hizo re hipotecar la casa. Is this correct? Possible?
