Siente que su grado de veterinaria no le llenaHola Inma, The translation provided gave this as "she feels that her veterinary degree does not fulfil her." I know that there are other verbs which function in this way, where an indirect object is used instead of a direct object. I think this is the case with pedir, decir, preguntar for example, where the direct object is implied as communicating "something ... to another person." Thus in my above question is it that "No le llena" implies that her degree does not fulfil "something" in her. Is there a lesson about this, or is there a way of recognising these verbs, or do we learn them as we go? I hope this makes sense. Saludos John

Hola,

If I’m reading this right, we’re using todo cuanto when it’s an adverb, then when it’s an adjective, it therefore agrees with the noun?

I’m taking the following to be adverbial usage:

Haremos todo cuanto esté en nuestras manos para ayudarte.

Gracias,

Meaning of el poderya que me estoy jugando el poder participar en las próximas olimpiadas.

Does this mean “since i am playing to be able to participate in the next Olympics”. If so is “el” before “poder” necessary or could it be removed and still be correct?

Thanks

Shirley

Indirect object pronouns

Hi. Why is the indirect object pronoun used in for example. “Le encanta la peli” When in English the the phrase “She loves the film” suggests the use of the Direct object pronoun. As in the “The film delights her.”

Example : Ella trae la tarta para tu fiesta de cumpleaños. She's bringing the cake for your birthday party.

Why is it "trae" and not "está trayendo"?

Why cannot I use "Vamos, ... " as "Come on, ..."

If the example used "Vamos, ..." as "Come on, ...", why cannot I use it in my Quiz answer? Perhaps the Quiz needs to be more modified to remove the multiple correct options and be more concise.
