Wow! Question. How does: "en qué momento se me habrá ocurrido" come to mean: "I'm wondering why I thought this was a good idea"?
Is it a standard phrase for "Me pregunto por qué pensé que era una buena idea?"
Would "en qué momento pensé que era una buena idea?"work?
Is "suficiente" known more for "enough of" just like adequate and is bastante more known for "plenty" like enough, but more than just enough? I saw a native say suficiente go on about how they use suficiente=enough and bastante=plenty. I believe you can use suficiente before and after the noun, although with bastante is it only before the noun?
En la frase "me quedo comtemplándola por horas", debería ser "contemplándola".
Hi Inma,
The translation is given as “every journey has become a thrilling (?) adventure.” If convertirse (en) is the verb of choice here for “become”, would it have been better to give a different translation perhaps “every journey has turned into a thrilling adventure.”
It strikes me that “convertirse en” just doesn’t fit with your lesson where you say that it is used to describe “A radical change in personality or profession,” and is interchangeable with “hacerse” in that regard. Hence a different translation would have steered me towards either “convertirse en” or “volverse” [which is what I chose]. That said, your lessons on this topic deal with people becoming a certain way, rather than situations changing. Perhaps the guidance for the former cannot be carried through to the latter. Can you clarify this in any way? Saludos. John
Una hermosa celebración tradicional. Disfruta de la vida allí en Mora.
Tomorrow by this time I will have been admitted to hospital is translated as Mañana a estas horas habré ingresado en el hospital
I've also seen "ayer fue ingresado en el hospital" and "el médico lo ingresó en el hospital" so it seems to behave like a transitive verb.
Why then isn't it " habré sido ingresado" ?
Gracias
Why would the 'tu' form go into this sentence, is it not talking of 'he' so shouldn't it be the 'el' form - pone?? I get this now...it's 'you' who is doing the 'putting' isn't it. 'He' is the person it is being done to. Spanish is sooooooo confusing sometimes my brain just feels like mush!
Buenas tardes Inma y Silvia,
I just wanted to check with you if there is an error in the following sentence from this passage:
...compañías ofrecen sin dudar la tecnología más vanguardista...
Should it be "sin duda"= 'without doubt'? I believe 'sin dudar' means 'without hesitation'?Gracias :)
