Arreglándose para la fiesta, alguien llamó a la puerta.
While getting ready for the party, someone knocked on the door.
In English I believe this is incorrect. The gerund refers to the subject in the other sentence, so this sounds as if whoever knocked on the door was also getting ready for the party.
In Spanish if it is correct - how do we know it refers to ella? Based on context?
"le llamo" should be accepted, no?
Question on why the final bit "we were a little dizzy" should be conjugated in imperfect rather than simple past. I imagined that one moment in time when "we were dizzy" should be the opposite. I get that estar is often conjugated in imperfect, but this seems a lot like one moment that's no longer taking place, encapsulated in the past, not continuing and not one that lasted long (given that "we were *a little* dizzy.") Help please?
I just took a quiz that included this (correct) answer: "ya sea salado o dulce" to complete the sentence "Me encanta la cocina francesa...." Why doesn't the 1st adjective change to agree in gender with "cocina"? I picked it anyway, as there was no option with "salada" (and it was the best available option) but it still struck me as incorrect.
Hola,
Would "Para mí" be acceptable in this sentence?
Saludos. John
Puedo decir, “para conocer a uno de mis actores preferidos”, también?
Pregunta sobre el texo... 'En el canal en el que trabajo'...
¿significa lo mismo si decimos..
1) En el canal en que trabajo..?
o 2) En el canal que trabajo... ?
En otras palabras, ¿Las opciones 1) y 2) son errores gramaticales?
Gracias de antemano 8-)
Buenas tardes,
Within the context of the passage, would I be right in saying that, "...sobran guionistas a patadas..." means "there are plenty of or more than enough screenwriters"?
Gracias de antemano 😊
