I think I understand the difference in the usage of adentro, vs. dentro (de) but does the same principle apply to afuera vs. afuera (de)?
For example: Nosotros nos reímos siempre con esa película. We always laugh at that movie. I would have never known to use "con." I would have chosen "a."
And, Ustedes se ríen de los niños. You laugh at the children. Again, I would have chosen "a" instead of "de." Why "con" in one sentence and "de" in another?
Will there be lessons on how to choose the correct preposition, or is it a matter of memorising the conjunction with the noun?
I'm confused by the title of this article: "personal "a" verbs". Isn't the issue whether the direct object is a person or not, rather than the verb used? In addition to the verbs mentioned, isn't the same true of all the verbs on https://spanish.kwiziq.com/learn/theme/830919 as well as necesitar, golpear, ... indeed any transitive verb?
In the answer, the first sentence is future tense, but the second sentence is conditional tense? What is going on? Why are not both these sentences either future or conditional?
can you live in the Andes Mountains?
Why does "la" translate to "your" and not "the" In English? Example "quítate la ropa" translates to "take off your clothes" but "la ropa" translates to "the clothes" so why isn't there "the"?
Both answers are correct and based on the response from Inma, the correct answers should be " El Pretérito Perfecto". Please revise this lesson to make it clear as to which answer you want maybe by prefacing each question with "In Latin America".
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 😊
