Hizo su examen antes de haber repasado. The meaning of the English translation is not clear. I’m thinking that a better translation in American English would be “He took his exam before having reviewed.”
Maribel and I used to study English at the language school. The correct answer is noted as: Maribel y yo hacíamos inglés en la escuela de idiomas. But that does not make any reference to the studying. Shouldn't it be: Maribel y yo estudiábamos inglés en la escuela de idiomas.
Thank you for the explanation in advance.
I saw this in an article on the BBC about direct and indirect object pronouns.
Escuchamos al cantante.
Le escuchamos.
Is that corrrct? I don’t get why we'd use the indirect object pronoun here. What is the direct object in this case?
Why we use here word "tenía" and not "tuve" when we talking about ayer?
Hola
¡Lo que charla tu madre!
y
¡Cuánto charla tu madre!
estas frases son intercambiables? significan más o menos lo mismo?
(no importa, veo que esta pregunta ya ha sido hecha)
This was an excellent lesson - topical of course, but so easy to follow because of the perfect diction. Gracias. John
Buenas días
I understand Afectar is a transitive verb, which requires a direct object (without a preposition).
I saw these sentences:
La nueva ley no afecta al pequeño empresario.
La falta de oxígeno afecta al cerebro.
I'm curious to know why these two sentences use a preposition "a".
Muchas gracias
Hello! Por or para: the eternal question, right? I'm wondering about the phrase "for future generations" in the final sentence. If that phrase were interpreted as "for the benefit of future generations" or "for the sake of future generations," would "por" be correct? Or is "para" the only correct option regardless? Thank you!
I guessed this correctly but when I clicked on the explanation of past participle examples in Spanish it did not explain why it is escrita?
Can someone please explain?
