Good topic. I hear these constructions a lot from my Mexican friends. Even in dance class the instructor used to say "¿Sale?" after teaching a new step.
I find that in general they use inverted constructions a lot in Mexico.
How would we put these constructions into question form? For example, could we ask "¿Cómo te sale?" to ask how something turned out?
I saw the following on a back machine recently ‘ puedes operar con cualquiera de las tarjetas de crédito’. How does this fit with the contents of this lesson please
Usually with expressions of uncertainty, such as "tal vez" or "quizas", we use the subjunctive. Do the expressions "a lo mejor" and "lo mismo" indicate more certainty, since they don't trigger the subjunctive?
Why isn't it 'Los estudiantes les dan los deberes al profesor'
Hola,
1. None of the examples use 'usted' or 'ustedes'. Can you use those or is gustar just not used in a formal way?
2. What if I want to say something like "Sarah likes David"? Do I still have to include the indirect pronoun? And use "a xxx" for the name of the person doing the liking?
like: "David le gusta a Sarah"
Fred.
Should the 2nd example above not have read ' you may well have been ill' without the 'as' which would be said in different circumstances e,g, you may as well have been ill for all the good you did ??
Why is the last sentence written as "y no abusemos de ellas"? I thought that it should be "no las abusemos". Is there a rule for when you put "de ellas" at the end of the sentence? I thought that you weren't allowed to have pronouns on the end of sentences in Spanish.
Could you please include a few examples in the lesson that show how “aun” works in phrases like “aun más bonito.” I’m finding it harder to keep straight without having examples - I have to switch my brain to English & try to translate back, and I’m still getting it wrong!
