Throughout the year and it is recommended

For throughout the year you have suggested 'durante todo el ano but isn't al largo del ano also acceptable? (Sorry I could not type the tilde). Similarly sould you say ser recomendable as well as ser aconsejable for it is recommended?

Many thanks

Linda

Imperfect for present or future.

When I read into this, I found it a little confusing, we would actually say, he was meeting the lawyer tomorrow, to mean, He is meeting the lawyer tomorrow.

I think we say it as it was a decision taken before the present or the future. So for once a literal translation would work?

Cien años de soledad...

Gracias Silvia for reminding me to find time to read this classic!

I have had 2 copies of this wonderful novel ready and waiting to be read for some time now; one English copy and the other in Spanish.

For anyone that may be interested, Netflix are showing the adaptation of this fabulous story- it was released on the 17th I believe. It's my Netflix film for this weekend :))

All the examples are in the present tense. Can this work in other tenses also?

why add "me"

why do you add "me" as in me comería, or me compraría. Just for emphasis? Can one do away with the "me"?

Nosotros estábamos discutiendo sobre política

Could the above sentence be written without 'sobre'? As it would then be similar to the English sentence. If not what difference does sobre make to the meaning of the sentence?

Best regards,

Colin
