Your example is:
Cuando os tumbéis en la playa poneos la crema solar.When you lie down on the beach put some suncream on.Why isn't 'poned' used here? It's an imperative command isn't it? Is it because of the 'OS' tacked on the end?The answer is ‘los’ but since the construction is ‘ver a’ and the prepositions are already used for the names, I don’t see why it is not the indirect object pronoun ‘les’ required.
Is it correct to say, 'Desde cuándo haces tal cosa?'. For example, 'Desde cuándo tocas el piano?', to elicit the answer, 'desde mi infancia'.
Thanks in advance.

I have read all the correspondance around this lesson, but my problem has not surfaced. It is this:-
if 'mirar' is intransitive and needs pronoun 'a' before inanimate objects, then I don't have a problem. If, however, it is transitive and takes a direct object ( of inanimate objects ) then I cannot see why there is an indirect object pronoun at all. Can you explain?
Hi,
In the sentence above, the translation of "... comer sano." is given as '... eat healthily'. Doesn't 'sano' mean 'healthy' and 'sanamente' mean healthily?
I'm sorry to be so pedantic, but I like to get things right at the start.
Best regards,
Colin
Although somewhat not directly related to the main topic, I have always known 'To drop' as 'Dejar Caer' and 'Caer/caerse' being synonyms for 'To fall.
Have I made a mistake here?
Hi, thanks for your help. What does “sin un duro” mean?
