En la frase: "What a very nerdy person I am!" ¿porque se traduce la palabra inglesa "very" con la palabra española "más"?
Tomorrow by this time I will have been admitted to hospital is translated as Mañana a estas horas habré ingresado en el hospital
I've also seen "ayer fue ingresado en el hospital" and "el médico lo ingresó en el hospital" so it seems to behave like a transitive verb.
Why then isn't it " habré sido ingresado" ?
Gracias
Perhaps it would be helpful with these various stem changing verb lessons to explain more clearly that the vowel changes only affect the vowels when they are in syllables that are stressed, rather than giving the impression that the nosotros/as and vosotras/os forms are just arbitrary exceptions. I think that grasping that makes it a lot easier to internalize the pattern than just trying to memorize exceptions without understanding why they work that way.
The sentence "Now I want to repeat it!" is translated as ¡Ahora quiero repetir!
Why doesn't Spanish need an object pronoun here?
Gracias
Hello, is Espero verle pronto usable in LATAM contexts? or is this only leismo from Spain? Why isn't it Espero verlo pronto
Hola Inma y Silvia,
Just to let you know that there is a small mistake in this listening exercise. The sentence that I've posted here is written in English instead of Spanish in the exercise:
...que supone la ruptura de su relación de pareja.
Saludos
For anyone struggling with how and when to use Sentir and Sentirse, just read both Silvia's and Inma's replies to Garry's question. It took me a good while to use the correct verb too.
The explanations given here by Silvia and Inma are invaluable and so comprehensive.
We are so lucky to have such a great team of teachers!
