How do we know when to use which one please?
How come for certain reflexive verbs we use le instead of se? For example Él le gusta la chaqueta. The jacket is pleasing to him.
First, my dictionary has ser/estar(Spain) viudo, but I think it's even more complicated than a dialect issue. Here's a relevant discussion: https://forum.wordreference.com/threads/to-be-a-widow.596749/
Note that the discussion extends to several other relationship-like words such as soltero (but like viudo, these words are to my mind not relationship words, but rather civil/personal status words, which is why I think ser is often correct with them).
What is the difference between empezar and comenzar? Are they synonyms or does one or the other apply in different situations?
I think I understand the difference in the usage of adentro, vs. dentro (de) but does the same principle apply to afuera vs. afuera (de)?
Why is it "El cartero pasa todos los días a las tres de la tarde" instead of ""El cartero pasa todos los días a las tres por la tarde"? I thought we learned that it should be en, a, or por to express a specific time of the day?
How do I know when to shorten "cientos" to "cien"? Is is only when I am saying "100 things (cien cosas)" but I say "cientos" if there are more (ciento y uno cosas)?
“no se puede concentrar”, why se puede and not puede?
Thanks,
Shirley
Hola,
How does the meaning change when es que is preceded by si? For example:
Si es que no podía ni hablar.
