Spanish language Q&A Forum

there is another chapter where "Having done something" with the action as subject or direct object of a sentence using El Infinitivo Compuesto (= haber + participle)

How does it differ from using infinitive?

Fumar es malo para la salud

Haber fumado es malo para la salud

if I were to guess, I am guessing that using el infinitive compuesto is that, the action was indeed being carried out where as using infinitive is just a general statement. the person we are warning regarding smoking is bad, did not smoke.

Whereas if the person indeed smoke, we will say haber fumado es malo para la salud

Hi! Haven't been here in a while, now trying to improve my listening comprehension again. So I've been thinking:

Listening comprehension in Peninsular Spanish seems to be different from the Latin American variants, at least I, personally, struggle to understand some of them more than others. As I've seen that there's a whopping 770 items on the listening comprehension list, do you happen to have lessons that have some degree of specialization regarding the variant spoken in the lesson? If no, I think this would be an interesting feature. If yes, then being able to filter by that would be awesome. (And I understand that this would be a major task given the number of variants, but I thought I might still ask).

Hope you have a great weekend!

such a clear, beautiful soprano voice and a beautiful, blending chorus of young angels . . .

una voz de soprano tan clara y hermosa y un coro de ángeles jóvenes tan hermoso... .

I cannot find a word to add "blending" into the Spanish.

HELP?

Thank you Silvia,

You write that  "for" in 

"she has made many sacrifices for her children"

implies a cause / an originating reason.

If so, why  "for" in 

"she has made many books for her children"

does not imply a cause?

Also, is the following ungrammatical:

"Ha hecho muchos sacrificios para sus hijos."
