Wouldn't it be easier to translate "No tenía más que unas monedas en el bolsillo." to "He didn't have more than a few coins in his pocket." rather than "He only had a few coins in his pocket."? This type of translation would work for the "más que +noun" instances.
Can "No tienes más que decirlo y yo estaré allí para ayudarte." be translated to "You don't have to say anything more than it/that and I will be there to help you." rather than "You just have to say it and I will be there to help you."?
The vocabulary and long sentences should make this type of story A2 or even higher. Eamples, bodegon to mean still life and lienzo. I wish there were some easier real A1 stories for me to start with. I either have to forget them or spend a lot time
Hola Inma,
The text has an opening question which I answered as "¿A quién no le apetece......?" and was marked incorrect. Shouldn't there be an accent on "quién"?
Also in the final sentence, I'm sure that the speaker doesn't say "las ensaladas" but it is included in the text.
Saludos
John
May I ask why do you need to use imperfect tense for this sentence: Después de hacer el check-in, he comprado algo de ropa en la boutique porque no traía nada conmigo.
I guess if we use prétérito perfect for the whole story it should be it as well.
The question was to fill the missing word (the hint was only that heredero is masculine):
The Heir to the crown ....
______ heredero de la corona
I answered "El" and was told it is incorrect, it should have been "Un". This seems wrong?
Wouldn't Ellos vienen del cine mean They come from the cinema? It says "They've come"
Why does Aunque SEA por uno minutos or Aunque ESTEMOS encerrados use subjunctive?
Why can't we use 'ricas' in place of 'deliciosas'?
How is "HINT: Dolores ___ en su juventud" a hint? :)
