Confusion on direct and indirect object pronouns, supplement to priorOops. The webpage cut out part of my response. Right after I wrote
Hacer + Infinitive, the second paragraph contains;
and here I quoted from the lesson:
.."There is a tendency to use indirect pronouns me,te,le,nos,os,les when the verb in intransitive. However, if the verb is transitive, we usually use direct object pronouns me,te,lo,la,nos,os,los,las.
That's where I asked if this is misprint, or is referring to common mistakes that we make?
The remainder of my comment got posted correctly. Hope that my points are more clear now.
Puedo decir "con tal de que aspiren a un buen futoro en vez de con tal de aspirar?

Hi, why is preterite used here instead of the imperfect? The preterite implies that Ustedes no longer exist.
Like ‘como uvas’ , can we say ‘yo como uvas’ too, and why is there no ‘I’?
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?Gracias Shui por compartir un poema tan hermoso y romántico. ¡Qué triste también! Nada es más emotivo que el amor perdido entre una pareja. ¡Es increíble que Pablo solo tenía 19 años cuando escribió este poema!
Somos muy afortunados de tener tantos maravillosos poetas y novelistas hispanohablantes. Para mí este poema muestra cuan rica y expresiva es la lengua española.
Saludos 😊
Is there a reason lucir (lucí), relucir, etc. don´t follow this rule?
Hi, what does A mean here? Can it be omitted and still be grammatically correct?
Thanks a lot,
Shirley.
Not a big deal but would it be correct to abbreviate ustedes following con?

Is "hablar" more like "contar"?
Ex: Su tía nos habló sobre su visita a españa.
Thanks.
