When a feminine singular noun starts with a vowel (or vowel sound) do we still use 'la' (or 'una'), or is there a rule similar to that in English for a / an?
In the test the question is "Coloca las plantas _____ sol." I understand that "al" is the correct answer as far as a contraction, but why do you use "a" in this instance? Why is it not "en el sol"?
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
Hola,
Una de las personajes del programa española que veo dice lo siguiente:
"A ti se te da muy bien coser."
¿Qué significa? En este caso, "te" es un ejemplo del dativo del interés, ¿verdad? ¿A quién es conjugado "darse"? Al final, ¿hay una lección sobre esta construcción?
Muchas gracias
