Re: It is very close to the beach!
Kwizbot ¡Está muy cerca de la playa!
You !Está muy cerca a la playa!
You could also say: ¡Está muy próximo a la playa!
Would it be correct to say: “cerca a” or does cerca always require a “de”
Thank you, Nicole
In this piece, the future events are expressed using ir, a, and the infinitive. My two-part question is whether, in the circumstances depicted in the piece, the simple future tense and/or the present tense could be used to express the future and under what circumstances each of the three choices is either indicated or preferred.
Muchas gracias de antemano.
As buen is an adjective, why can it not be used with es? Eg: es buen.
In the beginning of the story, using present perfect was clear because she is saying that her best friend has come to visit. Afterwards, when she is narrating what they did each day, we have specific time (the day mentioned) and what they did which to me seems to be how we use preterite for a specific time (day) in the past, so it is confusing to see present perfect for specific time events in the past. Can you please explain why you continued to use pr. perfect and did not switch to another tense. To me (the "has come" in the beginning) would have been more appropriate with what they are going to do in the future since she mentions that "they have made tons on plans."
Hola,
So with a specific date, is the construction
Desde hace + specific date + que + verb in preterite
Desde hace 2010 que terminé mis estudios
?
Gracias,
Buenas tardes,
Sólo quiero decir gracias a Shui por todos los ejercicios- 'Daily dose of Positivity'- que nos da.
Son una buena distracción durante este tiempo difícil.
¡Gracias Shui!
One of the quiz examples translates They achieved the objectives for the year. using el preterito indefinido.
My first thought would be that this sentence would fall under the "in the same time period" rule and end up being el preterito perfecto (rule is at this link) link When to use the perfect tense versus the simple past (Perfecto vs Indefinido)
I am curious how I can tell (other than the hint given in the exercise) that this should be indefinido.
Thanks.
In what context can we use them both? E.g can I say hay/hace una tormenta? Or ... Hay/hace mucho frío?
Can you place the adjective first, like this? If not, why not?
Sevilla es una de las más bonitas ciudades de España.
