In an A1 writing exercise about ordering at a restaurant, I encountered the phrase "How can I help you?" with the hint "Lit. What do you wish?" I was not prepared with an answer so I learned a new phrase!
Are the phrases interchangeable?
Thank you,
Allysen
¿Dónde_____una floristería, por favor?
I answered "está" but it's saying it's "hay" even though the examples shown in the lesson show
¿Dónde está el parque?
Why was I incorrect?
"La" is only used as the feminine for a direct object, correct? So in this example from the lesson the first "her" (se) is the indirect object of "dar" but the the second "her" is a direct object of "ver"?
Se lo daré cuando la vea.
I will give it to her when I see her.
If the second "her" were an indirect object, it would be "le", right? For example, is this correct?
Se lo daré cuando le hable.
I will give it to her when I talk to her.
Thank you!
Hello! Could you differentiate when you might use these two phrases? For example, if the sentence is - I am about to take a shower:
-Estoy a punto de ducharme
-Estoy para ducharme
Are these sentences saying the same thing or is there some nuance that I'm missing out on?
¿Enserio güey? Qué tal? Formal?
At the other hand there are no examples for "por.
Can "por" also be interpreted as "by"
what does afueras de la ciudad mean?
doesn't that mean: they? not are YOU coming to dinner?
