The note says quedarse can be used as emphasis of end results. So does that mean ‘se queda inmóvil’ meaning he ended up motionless ? Or is this meaning of quedarse different ?
when do we use aumentar vs ir en aumento?
when do we use 'en' + noun pattern? or rather when do we use 'ir`? is it a grammar pattern where 'ir' + ' en' + noun?
And all this time, going through 1, 2 and 3, I thought the lifeguard was a girl! Inma, you need to speak a little more gruffly, please LOL
The topic is the Mosque-Cathedral in Córdoba
Se encuentra en Córdoba, la que fue la capital del Califato Omeya andalusí, que fue proclamado por Abderramán III en 929.
Could I say:
Se encuentra en Córdoba, la capital del Califato Omeya andalusí, que fue proclamado por Abderramán III en 929.
Gracias
It would be nice to have translation at the end.
Thank you so much for this detailed explanation Inma. It's greatly appreciated. I hope it's fair to say that I wish that Leísmo/Loísmo/Laísmo didn't exist 🙄... another thing for my old brain to try to remember. ;))
When does the -o ending in the third person singular of the pretérito indefinido get a tilde en when does it not? P.e. "he spoke" = habló, but "she said" = dijo. Has it something to do with regular and irregular verbs?
I really enjoyed this passage, it even made me a little teary-eyed! The sentiment is lovely.
I just wanted to check...
Should the first sentence be using vosotros, i.e. Me recordáis a mi abuela, porque es que brilláis con luz propia como ella.
Maybe I'm missing something but isn't the rest of the passage referring to two people?
Gracias de antemano 😊
In this example above, a = from:
Tú pides demasiado a la vida.
You ask too much from life.
Is this always the case? For example, could we say:Él pide 100000 pesos al banco.
He is asking for 100000 pesos from the bank.
I would expect that we would use “del”, so is “al” correct?
Hola,
Me confunde mucho el uso de ¨ser¨y ¨estar¨ en la voz pasiva. ¿Podrían ustedes aclararlo?
Gracias.
