Hizo su examen antes de haber repasado. The meaning of the English translation is not clear. I’m thinking that a better translation in American English would be “He took his exam before having reviewed.”
Why we use here word "tenía" and not "tuve" when we talking about ayer?
I saw this in an article on the BBC about direct and indirect object pronouns.
Escuchamos al cantante.
Le escuchamos.
Is that corrrct? I don’t get why we'd use the indirect object pronoun here. What is the direct object in this case?
I am confused by when to use éstas with a tilde and when not to. And would this sentence work without using either? Just saying ...zonas de ocio sino que también permiten a la población...
Además, las zonas verdes no son consideradas exclusivamente como zonas de ocio sino que éstas también permiten a la población estudiar horticultura.Hola
¡Lo que charla tu madre!
y
¡Cuánto charla tu madre!
estas frases son intercambiables? significan más o menos lo mismo?
(no importa, veo que esta pregunta ya ha sido hecha)
The lesson says to use "alguna" to mean "just the odd one" in an AFFIRMATIVE sentence, but in the question with the photographs the sentence is a question, not an affirmative statement . Can alguna be used in this sense in non-affirmative sentences as well?
This was an excellent lesson - topical of course, but so easy to follow because of the perfect diction. Gracias. John
Buenas días
I understand Afectar is a transitive verb, which requires a direct object (without a preposition).
I saw these sentences:
La nueva ley no afecta al pequeño empresario.
La falta de oxígeno afecta al cerebro.
I'm curious to know why these two sentences use a preposition "a".
Muchas gracias
Hello! Por or para: the eternal question, right? I'm wondering about the phrase "for future generations" in the final sentence. If that phrase were interpreted as "for the benefit of future generations" or "for the sake of future generations," would "por" be correct? Or is "para" the only correct option regardless? Thank you!
