Hola - if the answer to the question is 1, would the ‘ser’ variant be ‘es’? Gracias!

getting on to do something

i read that ir + gerund can be translated as to get to do something.

I do not understand why would getting on to do something be related to the concept of doing something bit by bit, gradually?

Would getting on to do something more like getting ready to do something using estar para, estar por?

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 first section of the dictation should end with a period. The second section starts with 'Me' in the actual dictation as if it began sentence 2.

Hi there,

For the question "Prefiero ir con Susana, ________ es más simpática" I answered "la quien". Your guide says that this is interchangeable (if more formal) than "que", but my answer was marked incorrect. Please can you explain?

Thanks

Why ser and not estar in this sentence?

No seas tonto. It feels like we are describing a temporary condition. Why is ser used?

Can we use this with "un@(s) de"?

Good lesson. I like this concept of partitives.

Can we use "uno de" in place of "alguno de" to mean "one of"? Or is "alguno" only used in this context in Spanish?

Also, is there a list of partitives that use "de", such as "cada uno de" or "pocos de"?

Thanks!

¿ Cómo vas a trabajar?

¿select ...CómoQuiénDóndeQué vas a trabajar? Does not it (also) mean How are you going to work? In what manner?
