In relation to "después de que", I have questions:
(1) why "hallase" (instead of "se halla") is used in this sentence:
"...es el final de un camino [...] después de que la Guardia Civil hallase en la 'tablet' de la víctima un enigmático mensaje."
(2) what construction is this? what are the grammar rules?
Muchas gracias.
Your "Exercise" has a spelling mistake in the English translation of El ejercicio es complicado. Should read the exercise is complicated.
In the exercise the phrase 'Haciendo la compra a mis mayores' is used. I would have expected 'para mis mayores'. Is the use of 'a' instead a common Spanish usage?
Hello. I'm a bit confused on the optional placements of "le" in sentences. For example, if i want to say "I don't want to ask my brother for money". Would both sentences below be correct? And if so, is one construction more commonly used in Mexico and Latin America?
No le quiero pedir dinero a mi hermano vs. No quiero pedirle dinero a mi hermano.
Thank you!
