I want to say "I met Rosa leaving the theatre", in the sense that Rosa was leaving the theatre. I've written "Me encontré con Rosa saliendo el teatro" but I think that means that I was leaving the theatre when I met Rosa. However, "Me encontré con Rosa al salir el teatro" feels completely wrong, and "Me encontré con Rosa que salía el teatro" sounds right but a bit formal. Is that last translation the only way of removing the ambiguity.
How to say to have something done with a sentence using the verb in the 3rd person plural
this is the other lesson that uses 3rd person plural verb conjugation.
I find this lesson very similar to the other and I cannot see any differences at all.
for example,
me han robado . this could be for this lesson of being impersonal but this can only be under the other lesson that something negative happened or something was done on me.
Are they actually the same thing?
No hay duda de que este restaurante lo tiene todo para triunfar.
I don't understand the function of LO in this sentence. Can it be omitted?
Gracias
Hi, Can you give some information about prepositions? Like: in, on, etc.
Not exactly sure what "These adjectives are always invariable in masculine and feminine singular" is trying to tell me. Does this imply that -e ending nationalities can be either masculine or feminine?
Hola,
In this lesson we have the example of "Si, te quiero."
The direct object pronouns introduced are: Me, Te, Nos, and Os. The other direct object lesson referred to deals with: lo, la, los, and las.
What is the direct object pronoun for "Usted", the formal of "Tu"; or "Ustedes", the plural of "Tu" in Latin America?
I seem to remember it to be: "le" and "les" respectively.
For example, I would say to my elderly neighbor, "Si, yo le quiero"
Is this correct? And, is there a lesson that covers the direct object pronouns for "usted" and "ustedes"?
Gracias,
N. Hilary
I understand except for the last word "queráis ". I was expecting to see " queréis " for the "you want" at the end.
Looking up queráis, I see that it is the present subjunctive and have read that it is used if there is a change in the subject.
I can't see a change in subject. The first part of the sentence has "you" as subject ans so does the second part.
I expect that I've missed something crucial here so please help me to understand.
Thanks.
Hola Inma,
You write:
---------
With "acordarse" we can't use "lo". You can use it with "recordar" though:
Yo no lo recuerdo.
With acordarse you can say:
Yo no me acuerdo de eso.
--------
Is the following incorrect:
Yo no me lo acuerdo.
Isn't it the same topic as "Gerundio"?
