When should we use pues versus porque? In the text it was translated as "because" = "pues". Thank you!
“Tiene algo que declarar/hacer” but “Tiene algo de comer” or sometimes “Tiene algo para comer.” How does one know which one to use when?
In the initial table of conjugation, I feel that ‘estudiar’ is a poor choice of example for the ‘ar’ verbs. Because this particular verb happens to have an ‘i’ before the infinitive ending, it blurs the differentiation between the conjugation of the ‘ar’ verbs and the ‘er’ and ‘ir’ verbs. It would be instantly clearer if a verb such as ‘hablar’ were chosen as the example.
It would be great to provide the meanings of some of the expressions such as higos a brevas and se mantiene en sus trece. Also, I would like to be able slow the speed down as they are speaking a bit fast.
Please forgive me. I am having difficulty writing the sentences.
It should be:
But I don't understand the use of 'que' in the following:
Tengo algo que contarte
When 'para' is used in the other two examples
Hope I did not confuse you too much.
So, "hay" is used for both singular and plural? And not "han bares in mi varrio"? Can "ha" be used in such a case?
can ¡Qué loco! be written as ¡cuánto loco! ?
Can i also say 'no necesitas más que obtener una licencia matrimonial' ?
I am confused by this list of words like tener. Is it correct that DETENER means both to stop and arrest? This seems logical. MANTENER seems to mean both maintain and to keep, but what is the distinction between MANTENER and MATENER? Does SOSTENER mean both to support and to maintain? Does it also mean to sustain?
It's translated let me tell you. So why isn't there a me before let?
