Hablo inglés perfectamente desde los trece años. I speak perfect English since the age of 13. (since I was 13)
This sounds very Spanglish to me. Surely it's I have spoken perfect English since the age of 13
I never heard a sentence with yendo till now. Could you make a list of different sentences in relation to the pronouns?
Esperemos que el futoro le traiga muchos más éxitos. Shouldn't it be Esperamos que etc, as Esperar triggers the subjunctive mode for the second clause in the sentence?
Kind regards,
Kevin
For the question:
¡________ me has traído! ¡Qué lugar más espectacular!
The English translation that is given is:
Where have you brought me! What an amazing place!
It seems that the English is a bit ambiguous because it is phrased as a question but there is an exclamation mark rather than a questions so I don't know whether the original question in Spanish is intended to be a statement or a question.
According to my research, double checking, regular would be «Yo envio.» But there needs to be an accent over the i > «Yo envío.» And other conjugations have the accented "I". And so it is not a regular "-ar" verb.
The lesson specifically states that we don’t use the gerund as we might in English. Then the gerund is used: He dejado de fumar. Am I missing something? Nowhere in the lesson does it say in certain instances we would use the gerund. Please explain.
En el Fiesta del Olivo los verbos empezó y acabó suenan como oí (o oy ). Por eso no entiendo.
No ________ todo el tiempo a nuestro hijo; necesita espacio.
We can't be watching our son all the time; he needs some space.
(HINT: use modal verb "poder" and the verb "vigilar" for to watch)
podemos estar vigilando
podemos estar vigilandolo
Would it not be better to translate this as "Estabais comprando las bebidas mientras comíamos." ?
