Is it more or less (potentially) harsh or bossy than the imperative?
I was surprised that this sentence took "sido" and not "estado". As the speaker is talking about their emotional state over a specific time period, rather than their personalities more generally, would "estar" not be used over "ser"?
Hello, I came across this statement in a quiz:
Pablo y Pedro ________ por el parque todas las tardes. (Answer: corren)
I was a little surprised that we say "por el parque" instead of "en" el parque. I'm starting to think that "en" is only used with verbs of location but not with verbs of movement.
Yet we say "Los niños juegan en el parque" which could involve lots of running around, but they are still staying in one place.
I would appreciate your clarification. Thanks.
Hello there, I have tried using the search bar but can't find what I'm looking for. I am studying this topic:
llevar + tiempo + haciendo algo
por ejemplo:
Llevo sin fumar dos anos
llevo dos anos sin fumar
llevo desde que tenia 20 anos sin fumar
are there any exercises on this topic that I can do?
Thanks
No hay nada sobre de uvas en esta historia, pero me gusto mucho.
"Aún con todas las evidencias que yo presenté en el tribunal, no fui creído."
I was reading the lesson about it on the website which said it was fine without, but chatgpt confused me
Aun is very often used with cuando / con / si:
aun cuando... = even when...
aun con... = even with...
aun si = even if...
Would it be "El vestido es tan hermoso como una mariposa?" for the dress is as beautiful as a butterfly?
and is this the same for comparing to multiple objects when the described object is singular: La luz es tan brillante como las estrellas.
In some of these sentences it seems that para would work just as well, for example, in the following: Por [eso/aquello de] no tener que pelar las gambas con las manos decidió pedir mejor calamares fritos.
So that he wouldn't have to peel the prawns with his hands he decided to order fried calamari.Why can’t I use para?
I don't see any difference in the way the Spanish has been written
Purpose:
Te regalo mi pulsera nueva con tal de que me dejes en paz.
I [will] give you my new bracelet so that you leave me alone.
Condition:
Te regalo mi pulsera nueva con tal de que me dejes en paz.
I [will] give you my new bracelet as long as you leave me alone.
Gracias por la diversión. He disfrutado el humor, y usar una conversación es un buen idea. Ha sonido muy natural.
