Using indirect object pronouns with darI have been told that it is not redundant, and is in fact necessary, to use the indirect object pronoun even if you specifically mention the recipient. For example, Le di el regalo a Jose. Is this just a Central American thing?

Mudar or Mudarse or Trasladar(se)

Hola Inma,

Two questions

1. Could "trasladar" be used instead of mudar?

2. Since the subject of the story has taken a decision to move [herself] to another city, would the pronominal form mudarse / trasladarse be appropriate?

Saludos

John

gustar vs. encantar - use of "mucho"

This is a great lesson; thank you. I was told that I could use "mucho" after "Me gusta ...", for example, Me gusta mucho la música clásica. Is that correct? But, that I cannot use "Me encanta mucho..." Is that correct Could I express the idea of "really" loving something/doing something by repeating the verb, for example, "Me encanta encanta la música clásica?" Thank you.

acostarse vs tumbarse"La diosa Venus está tumbada sobre una cama mirándose en un espejo, al mismo tiempo que su hijo Cupido, dios del amor sensual, lo sostiene."

Instead of está tumbada, I wrote está acostada. I've seen tumbarse used more in literature, but are there any others differences between these two that determined your choice in this instance?

Likewise with al mismo tiempo que, I wrote mientras instead.

These 2 were not given as alternative answers

Saludos a todos

Hasta que + subjuntivo vs. indicativo

Hola,

I took the full-in-the-blanks quiz "Asando Castañas" today and one of the blanks, where I should choose between El Subjunctivo Presente and El Indicativo Presente, was the following:

muchas personas se suman a ella con tal de pasar un buen rato,hasta que ______ (llega/llegue) el amanecer.

Apparently the correct answer was El Indicativo (llega not llegue), but I don't understand why. Isn't sunrise a future event that is yet to happen and therefore the sentence requires El Subjunctivo?

Thanks as always!

Deborah
