I like the example Ellas trabajaron hasta tarde ayer because it is more clear than They worked late yesterday. Is it incorrect to say Ellas trabajaron tarde ayer (without "hasta")?
As an aside, I would never write "They worked late yesterday," because the tonal emphasis given to "late" and "yesterday" conveys subtle differences of meaning.
Re my question below is les incorrect because ver is intransitive?
Excellent having these examples of pleasantries all in one place.
can i clarify that why isn't "hay tantas cosas por hacer" correct instead of "Hay tantas cosas que hacer"? It would be useful if you could direct me to the relevant notes, if there is.
Another question is that, why is "todos los vecinos de la comunidad" using tuvimos instead of tuvieron when they had a meeting?
One last one is to clarify is "representar" + preposition A, a fixed expression to express on behalf of (someone) and that in this sentence, it is not personal A because we are referring to a general group of people? or the group of neighbors are not considered as general but specific persons?
Your replies are much appreciated. thanks.
I think there might be a correction to the English is this sentence:
I've just seen the singer who they gave a prize last year.
I believe it should say:
I've just seen the singer to whom they gave a prize last year.
Is there a subtle difference implied between "asi" and "así que", or is the difference not so subtle?
Would it be correct to use the word “solo” like this:
No me queda mucho dinero; solo tengo para dos cervezas más.
It’s just that we might say it this way in English.
Also in general can the word “solo” be used with clauses of limitation?
In the sentence below, wouldn't be correct to use 'tenemos' instead of 'tengamos'? Muchas gracias!
. Por otro lado, es genial que a los dos nos encanten la música y el deporte y que tengamos muchos amigos en común.
How do we know when to use El pretérito perfecto progresivo vs El indefinido progresivo?
I really enjoy reading Spanish history. Do you have anything on the Inquisition?
