Y nos conoceremos mejor

Hola Inma,

Is there a reason why the construction “llegar a conocerse” doesn’t work in this context?

I felt that the text “get to know each other” required something that would capture the process over time [llegar a], rather than simply the reflexive verb [conocerse], or is it simpler than that? Saludos. John

The construction of this sentence in English is unnatural.

I can't speak for Europe or Australia but I can tell you that in the U.S. no one is ever going to say, "We've seen the singer sign autographs to the fans." The correct construction for this verb is to sign autographs FOR fans...not to the fans. If I heard someone say this I would assume they were not a native speaker of English.

Es vs. Está

I read that the Spanish translation for "Where is the party?" is "¿Dónde es el fiesta?"

I'm curious. Is the sentence "¿Dónde está la fiesta?" incorrect? If so, why?

¡Gracias!

obligatory or optional use of unos before "270 huesos"

Hola,

My translators consistently omit the "unos" before "270 huesos" in the phrase "pero los bebés nacen con unos 270 huesos que se fusionan con el tiempo". Is it grammatically correct to exclude the unos ? Or is it included simply for aesthetic reasons?

Saludos

Kevin
