Hi, what does A mean here? Can it be omitted and still be grammatically correct?
Thanks a lot,
Shirley.
In the lesson on using perfecto vs indefinido, above the "tip block", the term "El Preterito Perfecto" is used twice. Probably the second use is an oversight.
Why was "por lo tanto" marked wrong in this test? It is perfectly correct, isn't it?
Not a big deal but would it be correct to abbreviate ustedes following con?
What is "el halda"? The only definition in my dictionary is skirt or sackcloth, and it is listed as feminine, not masculine.
The translation of:
Voy a mandar hacer un vestido
is given as:
I am having a dress made
I would have thought it to be:
I'm going to have a dress made
Why is it not the latter?
Thanks.
In one quiz answer it marked me wrong for choosing “Se llama [girl’s name],” saying I should have chosen “Ella se llama…” Then in the next quiz I chose “Él se llama” and it was marked wrong, saying I should have chosen “Se llama.” I’m confused, what is the difference?
Hi, why is preterite used here instead of the imperfect? The preterite implies that Ustedes no longer exist.
To me it seems like such a long process for gustar to become "natural".
I literally have to parse every gustar sentence so that the pronoun tells me who is being liked, the verb then tells who is being liked (not who is doing the liking!):
me gustas = by me you are liked = I like youte gusto = by you I am liked = You like meEven though the pronoun-object at the beginning tells who is doing the liking, that becomes the object in English. So, the verb ending confirms what the subject really is . . . Is there any easier way or does ease of use eventually come with familiarity?Si yo quisiera decir "the more people i meet, the happier i will be", ¿sería "Cuanta más gente conozca yo, más feliz seré", o "Cuanta más gente a la que conozca yo, más feliz seré?
