Hello I tried to take French quiz's but after few questions everything turned into English and I was not able to finish my test. I tried to try again with different email but the same happened. Thank you, Beti
It might have been helpful to include a little more information about El monumento al Encierro. I searched broadly but even Wikipedia had nothing on it other than that "Encierro" has to do with the running of the bulls in Pamplona. However, not wishing to be defeated, after much probing I found:
El encierro es una práctica dentro de la tauromaquia que consiste en correr (dentro de una vía urbana cercada) delante de una manada no muy abundante de toros, novillos o vaquillas. Los encierros son muy populares dentro de España y América Latina, en los lugares donde se celebran Fiestas Taurinas. El Monumento al Encierro es una gran escultura del artista Jalisciense Jorge de la Peña Beltrán, que representa a siete toros y un caporal a caballo camino a la corrida donde habrán de revelar su coraje. Es una obra fundida en bronce, donde cada toro pesa por lo menos media tonelada; el caporal 1,700 kg. El monumento mide 24 metros de largo por 10.5 de ancho y tiene una altura de 6.5 metros. Su existencia es un continuo homenaje a los ganaderos aguascalentenses ya que cada toro lleva marcado el fierro de una ganadería de la zona.
¡Eso es casi suficiente para que quieras ir a verla!
can i clarify that why isn't "hay tantas cosas por hacer" correct instead of "Hay tantas cosas que hacer"? It would be useful if you could direct me to the relevant notes, if there is.
Another question is that, why is "todos los vecinos de la comunidad" using tuvimos instead of tuvieron when they had a meeting?
One last one is to clarify is "representar" + preposition A, a fixed expression to express on behalf of (someone) and that in this sentence, it is not personal A because we are referring to a general group of people? or the group of neighbors are not considered as general but specific persons?
Your replies are much appreciated. thanks.
Habría valido la pena mostrar imágenes de los cuadros para reforzar las emociones que supuestamente suscitan.
Here in Mexico it is common to say “cervesa bien fría”. (Just to reinforce what you Mentioned about Latin American usage).
Why is "lo mío" singular? Why not "los míos son" or "lo mío es"?
