Hi,
In the sentence above, the translation of "... comer sano." is given as '... eat healthily'. Doesn't 'sano' mean 'healthy' and 'sanamente' mean healthily?
I'm sorry to be so pedantic, but I like to get things right at the start.
Best regards,
Colin
Just curious! Is there a difference in use in terms of formal/informal register with these two constructions, or is “tan...como” just more common? Thanks!
Can "Hemos quedado" mean "we have arranged to meet" AND /OR "we met"?
Might it also be understood as "We stayed"? I know quedarse should be used for staying somewhere.
Hola,
¿Qué es la diferencia de significado entre "Alguien no tiene que hacer algo" y "Alguien no tiene por qué hacer algo"? Y ¿por qué no se use "por que", sino "por qué" con el acento?
Gracias! (I hope that all made sense!)
can you explain why, even though we're talking about a female, we would say "trabajas duro"? Gracias!
In an example above you say, "Ellos estan delgados". I thought SER was used to describe physical characteristics i.e. "El es alto." To say Ellos estan delgados would imply they are thin now but they didn't used to be thin. Or that they appear thin. Or am I wrong?
Is 'piso' used to refer to a flat only in Spain?
I have read the answer given to Ralph. At the very least this is a VERY bad example to give in a lesson. The answer demonstrates that either tense could be used depending on the message the writer wishes to convey.
