Hi I'm trying to learn Spanish and I came across a sentence which caused my learning app and my native Spanish speaking partner to disagree:
The original sentence from the learning app: "Si puede, deles una explicacion a sus alumnos"
My partner say it's wrong, and it should be "Si puede, dele una explicacion a sus alumnos"
Since it refers to giving an explanation which is singular and not plural.
To my understanding, it should be plural because it's given to the students.
Which one is the right one??
Thanks!
To say I’m hiding
It is estoy escondido and not estoy escondiendo
Why not gerund ?
The use of “te cansas” looks like reflexive use to me. However, when I consult the dictionary the use is described as pronominal use. Please help me with the difference between pronominal and reflexive use.
Volver is also used to mean "become" or "turn." As in vuelva loca.
Hola,
We have porque, que and como in this construction - and we know that por can mean 'because of' - can it also be used as a causal conjunction in this sense?
Gracias,
Why was "partido" (for "game") the correct usage in the first part of the last sentence, but then "juego" (for "game") was correct in the latter part of that same sentence?

Hi there,.
I'm struggling to find a translation for el garillo. Could you explain what this phrase means? (me voy a llevar la mano con el garillo)
Many thanks

Puedes escribir lo corto que sea
What does this sentence mean? I’m trying to say you can write however short it is.
And why is there subjunctive following lo corto?
Can anyone direct me to the correct grammar for this ?
What about "llegar a ser", a common way of saying become in some contexts?
Also, what about when become, unlike in all the examples above, is not to do with people? E.g. The weather is becoming cold. The situation became very serious. I think these can be more difficult to resolve than the ones about people.
What about reflexive verbs as ways of saying become, e.g. enfadarse (to become angry)?
