Hola,
The answer was "Voy a pedirle que me lleve a su casa" as translation of "I am going to ask her to take me home."
Why is the indirect object pronoun "le" used in this sentence and not "la" the direct object pronoun? I'm wondering whether it is something to do with the way that pedir is used e.g. "ask it of her."
Can you help?
Thanks John
" para cuidar tus amistades" : why the personal "a" is missing here?
P.S. Me gustan musho sus grasiosos e interesantes cuentos y me ayudan musho también.
(I wellcome all corrections to my Spanish.)
Muchas gracias!
Hi. I remember learning that when we almost do something in the past, then we use the present tense, so that ¡casi me desmayé! would be ¡casi me desmayo!
Is this right or wrong or an acceptable alternative in speaking or writing?
Thanks

I am not able to see the text. I can only play? How can I see the text to read?
My sentence:
Las chicas se sintieron mucho frio en esa casa grande
was corrected to:
Las chicas sintieron mucho frio en esa casa grande.
But isn’t sentir a reflexive verb in Spanish? Reflexive verbs are not very common in English.,
Google translate has:
I feel cold (English) – Me siento frio (Español) – Jeg føler mig kold (Danish, my language, which uses reflexion very much like Spanish)
Please explain!
Sin duda, un tema que debería haberse resuelto hace tiempo. Creo que para una pareja "casada" (realmente comprometida con una relación de por vida) después de la boda, el empleador de quien trabaje fuera de casa debería dividir el salario por dos y establecer dos cuentas de seguridad social y de jubilación. Así, independientemente de lo que ocurra más adelante, tanto el marido como la mujer estarán protegidos. La pareja debería compartir los gastos del hogar y decidir conjuntamente las compras importantes, disponiendo cada uno de un "dinero de bolsillo" mensual justo. Una cuenta de ahorro conjunta sería una buena idea.
¡Me encantó esto!
Muchísimas gracias a Ana y a todo el equipo por este fantástico homenaje al maravilloso Miguel Delibes Setién :))

En la tienda no ________ ni pan ni dulces. In the shop, they didn't have bread or cakes.(HINT: Conjugate "tener" in El Pretérito Imperfecto.)
Would it be safe to assume that "por" is used instead of "para" when it makes sense to say "porque", or "because" in English? This was just a connection I made while reading the lesson, and knowing this would be really helpful! If so, can the two words just be swapped out for one another? Thanks!
and pretérito perfecto compuesto (twice) in the same lesson for the same verb form. Is it possible to use just one.
Also, in my experience, ha invitado has usually been translated as has invited rather than invited/ ha visto as has seen rather than saw. So, I would then translate había visto as had seen. This is very confusing. Help. K
