Are there lessons having to do with the pauses and intonation in Spanish speech? I guess I'm using English patterns to place commas and periods when transcribing spoken Spanish and am frequently wrong.
Why do you say que interesante and not como interesante
¡Anda, qué bien te han dejado en la peluquería!
Could this also be stated as? ...
¡Anda, qué bien te han hecho en la peluquería!
Or is that rude? I probably wouldn't have thought to use dejado.
Why does one sentence use con terminación en., And the next sentence use que acaban en for the same English construction?
When should we use "Si" or "Como?"
With the sentence below, is it also ok to use Si? If not, why? Is it because Si triggers the subjunctive?
Como me ofrezcan el trabajo voy a hacer una gran fiesta.
Can this not also mean buy it for yourself in a formal you? Don’t worry I have just worked it out. My error.
Estamos a los segundos de las campanadas de fin de año.
We are just a few seconds after the bells of the end of the year.
Estamos a unos segundos de las campanadas de fin de año.
We are just a few seconds before the bells of the end of the year.
i think that a better answer to question would be "i am someone who really enjoys doing sports", rather than "i am more someone...". because otherwise it should have been "yo soy mas de hacer deporte"
Yesterday I was visiting my friend Jimena.
The best answer is:
Ayer estuve visitando a mi amiga Jimena.
Is it incorrect to say estaba visitando OR visitaba ?
I can't find any lessons on the differences.
