o or ó for “or” in Spanish?
The first person plural of present tense "to work" is nosotros trabajamos. The simple past is also nosotros trabajamos. Is the difference in translation based on context? I may be overthinking this, but say it's noon and my mom asks me "how are you guys doing?" "Como estan?" and I reply "nosotros trabajamos." Am I saying "we work (later) today" or "we worked (this morning)"? I guess I'm supposed to follow this up with "esta manana" or "despues" to avoid confusion?
Hi, there. I am a native speaker. If anybody asks me where do I live, I will never repeat "I live in...". The natural answer is "In Barcelona".
It might be worth mentioning that "Es lógico que" tends to require a subjunctive [or always does?] - because intuitively one might regard it as a certainty; i.e., we do need to learn and remember this.
At first I wanted to translate as "la marca está conocida como La Leyenda del Vino" - because to me it seemed to emphasise the result rather than the process. Not too long ago, we discussed this at https://progress.lawlessspanish.com/questions/view/alternative-passive-with-estar (where Inma gave a very useful explanation)... and I remembered that [in that other lesson] I had tried to apply the rule [also with "conocido"] - incorrectly using "estar". So here, I changed my mind and made it "la marca es conocida" [despite emphasising the result?] - and was right. Perhaps there is something about "conocido", cautioning us about interpreting a process as a result?
