If you translate "gustar" with "please" it becomes much easier to understand:
Le gustan mujeres: him please women - women please him - he likes women
It's not a question, it's a way to understand that - in this case - mujeres is the subject and decides the form of the verb
The quiz translated this as "She is looking forward to starting her trip to Honduras." Wouldn't that be "Ella está deseando empezar su viaje a Honduras."?
How do I learn about imperatives that are irregular like “ven”....?
Why is "pasar" shown to mean "have" when English speakers just as often say "to spend?" Wouldn't it be truer to the Spanish to say it means "to spend?" Also, that will help me learn the actual meaning of "pasar." To say it means "have" I would think may sow some confusion.
Regarding this lesson, I do not understand how to choose the correct answer in the question when the lesson says that either gender can be used depending upon some vague circumstances. How can I, the speaker, determine which gender to use? This is a complete mystery to me. Please help.
Thank you, James
Hola Silvia / Inma,
I came across the phrase above with a meaning of "at sunrise, first light." The word "amanezca" appears to be 1st / 3rd person subjunctive. Can you help me understand this construction please?
Saludos. John
I would have written the correct answer but I thought I'd try using 'hermanita' is it sounded more loving to me. Would that be incorrect?
There was a test question that said ´8 a 10´ means the same thing as ´8 menos 10´ but this guide doesn´t mention it.
Are they interchangeable?
