Voy para la casa de mi amigo. Is the use of para in this case particular to Spain? IN Mexico and New Mexico(where I live) I'm pretty sure the sentence would use the prepossition "a" as in Voy a la piscina.
Hi, how can i know when to use an indefinite article? I know to not use it in front of a profession. Thank you,Shirley.
Hello, I'm slightly confused with the following:
Debe de haber llovido esta noche, porque los coches están mojados.As you can see from the previous examples, when we use deber with this nuance of assumption/wondering, we can optionally use the preposition "de" after deber.
So you are saying that "de" is truly optional and has the same meaning whether "de" is used or not?
Thank you,
Dave
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."
The third example above is written "Los conciertos de la calle son ruidosísimos."
If so, it seems to violate the rule of taking the masculin form and replacing the "o" with "ísimo".
If not, is it a typo?
Hola,
Me confunde mucho el uso de ¨ser¨y ¨estar¨ en la voz pasiva. ¿Podrían ustedes aclararlo?
Gracias.
Now I know that when I listen to native speakers or have to read their WhatsApp messages, I shouldn't assume that their lo / le / las usage is correct.
Hi. Was this marked wrong because I'm studying LA Spanish and chose "hubiesen aprobado" (used more in Spain) instead of "hubieran aprobado"? Thanks!
Ojalá ustedes ________ el examen final. I wish you had passed the final exam.(HINT: Use "ustedes" form to conjugate "aprobar" in El Pretérito Pluscuamperfecto de Subjuntivo)
