Hello there, I have tried using the search bar but can't find what I'm looking for. I am studying this topic:
llevar + tiempo + haciendo algo
por ejemplo:
Llevo sin fumar dos anos
llevo dos anos sin fumar
llevo desde que tenia 20 anos sin fumar
are there any exercises on this topic that I can do?
Thanks

I was reading the lesson about it on the website which said it was fine without, but chatgpt confused me

Hello! This article is great, and I want to play it for my students, but the Play button isn't working for me. I am signed in when I try. Is there something I am missing?
Thanks!
I would add one other usage that took me by surprise when my Mexican students first corrected me, which is to use “cuál” with the verb “ser”. “Cuál es tu restaurante favorito?” “Cuáles son los mejores restaurantes por aquí?”
“Normalmente cena con la familia por la noche.” Not “mi familia”.
We’ve learned this usage for body parts and for articles of clothing. Is the usage the same with family members? Do we say, “Los lunes almuerzo con la hermana”? Thanks.
Would “fuera de” be used in the same manner as “dentro de”?
Can I add an article from the library to my Notebook?
Ya solo queda media tarta vs solo queda media tarta
I can't really understand.
Also, today I studied los numerales. Por ejemplo, Esta moto me costó cinco veces más de lo que yo pensaba que iba a pagar.
"¿Hay algunas lecciones sobre este tema?"
¡muchas gracias!
I just realized something about English: the preposition depends on the verb. For verbs of placement, we use “into”: He puts the clothing into the box. For verbs of location, we use “in”: The clothing is in the box.
Also we tend to say “on the beach” if we are nearby: Jorge is on the beach. But we say “at the beach” if we are in a different city: My friends are at the beach.
Hope this helps with your translations. When I teach basic English, the use of “in”, “on”, or “at” is one of the most challenging things for Spanish speakers.
