Are you saying that it's unnecessary to include the direct object pronoun or that's it's incorrect to include it?
‘The local police has captured the murderer.’
I’d say this should be ‘have captured’ in English, ‘has’ sounds unnatural to me
Would it not be better to translate this as "Estabais comprando las bebidas mientras comíamos." ?
Entender means understand, but in this example: Ella entiende de arte. - means: She knows about art. Why?
Thank you so much!
I can't see the difference in meaning between the English of the first and second examp;es in the lesson, so how can I decode on Indicative or Subjubctive?
Can I use debo instead of debería? For example:
Yo debo haber comido más temprano.Hola Inma, I have been trying to work out why both direct and indirect objects are present here.
I can't find a reference for a pronominal form of pensar, but on doing the exercise a second time, I noticed that the lesson for the se aspectual was listed as being relevant. Poder isn't given as one of the verbs that typically can take this construction, but does this explain why the reflexive pronoun is being used here, making the verb poder more "intense / complete" as explained in the example of "irse" in the lesson; .... or is there another explanation altogether. Espero que puedas ayudarme. Saludos. John
