Are we supposed to believe that an adult native speaker wrote this?Hi there.
I (a native Spanish speaker) heve been
reading texts from the French version of this site for a couple weeks,
and after learning that there is a version that teaches Spanish I've
come to take a look out of curiosity.
And wow. After
reading this text I'm quite sure I'm going to stop using this site to
learn French, just in case the quality of the French texts is anything like that of this supposedly C1 Spanish text. That "habré" in the
first sentence should be "tendré", most commas are misplaced and the
connectors... I mean, I guess they sound correct if you have just read
their meaning in a dictionary and have never heard anyone use them, but
to a native they sound like Google Translate, or worse. The verb tenses
used are also wrong. Technically ok if you've just read the relevant
chapter in a grammar book, but an absolute pain for any native ears.
If
a native speaker wrote this as a highschool composition their teacher
would spend a whole red pen trying to correct it, and they might sent
the author to the hospital just in case they have just had a concussion.
Later edit: sorry If I come up a little cranky and dismissive. I just feel like a fool after realizing that the quality of the texts I've been using for French reading practice is probably very low.
This is taken from a rather unpleasant context. But I still want to know what the grammar behind it is. Why does this have se at the end? Would ¡Exprópie! work the same way?
As always, thank you!
Hi, thanks for all your answers.
What does Aún así (both accented) mean in Concierto de Año Nuevo? Thanks,
Shirley.
Could seguir + infinitive be used in a similar way to llevar here? Perhaps...
Sigo trabajando en este colegio tres años
= I've continued working in this college for three years
Or would that have to be 'He seguido trabajando...'
I also note the absence of a preposition (por, durante etc) before the time/period phrase in the examples. Is it not necessary with llevar?
Saludos

¿Sería el mismo decir "la clínica de libros" como "el consultorio de libros"? ¿Son sinónimos?
¿Dónde_____una floristería, por favor?
I answered "está" but it's saying it's "hay" even though the examples shown in the lesson show
¿Dónde está el parque?
Why was I incorrect?
