Hola,

The translation is given as "You could have told me before."

My step by step translation is "You could have to me it said to me earlier / before."

Can you explain why to "to me" is repeated?

Thanks. John

Like Ian, I am confused by some of the examples given here, in particular:

Iremos adonde tú quieras, cariño >> We will go where (to whichever restaurant) you want, darling...

... which does involve movement, but despite that it uses 'donde' - with no accent !

And in the short quiz included in this site, I got this question wrong:

We are taking the children to where they can run around freely > Llevamos a los niños ________ puedan corretear libremente…. i.e., I [incorrectly !] chose "adónde" with an accent because it did seem to involve movement … (but no ! - it had to be "adonde").
