In the sentence
En el ano 2010, usted ____________ para una escuela a primero. When you use usted wouldn't the word be trabajar with an abas ending?
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.
I doesn’t make any difference what the lister knows or doesn’t know. It is what the speaker perceives. Your explanation makes understanding the tooic moe confusing. Sorry
Is it more or less (potentially) harsh or bossy than the imperative?
Niebla is a noun (fog) so shouldn't the translation of hay niebla be there's fog...
And it's foggy would be está neblinoso?
I don’t understand how the infinitive is less ambiguous than the gerund. Is it because the infinitive is directly associated with the verbal structure while the gerund could hypothetically be separated from the verbal structure by a comma? La escuché, (while I was) cantando en la ducha.
Regarding incomplete and complete actions: Let’s say you’re hypothetically talking to someone about Carlos.
He visto a Carlos fumar.
I saw Carlos smoke. (complete action) Does this mean, I saw Carlos smoking. (But now he’s back at his desk. (action complete))
He visto a Carlos fumando.
I saw Carlos smoking. (action in progress) While this means I saw Carlos smoking. (He is still smoking outside if you are looking for him. (action in progress))

Están comparando varias frases con pasar y pasarse, pero las traducciones en inglés son iguales. ¿Un error?
Pasó un mes en Canadá con su familia.He spent a month in Canada with his family.Se pasó un mes en Canadá con su familia.He spent a month in Canada with his family.He pasado un día entero escribiendo esta redacción.I spent a whole day writing this essay.Me he pasado un día entero escribiendo esta redacción.I spent a whole day writing this essay.
Curious how common the use of "sadden" is? In English, it would be much more natural/common to say "the film makes me sad" or "stray dogs make me sad" although you could also say "they sadden me." Does "los perros abandonados me hacen (o me ponen) triste" exist in common Spanish usage, or do speakers usually use the reflexive? Thank you!
