Buenas tardes Silvia (o Inma),
I was just wondering...
In everyday speech, would "nada más" + infinitive' = "as soon as", be used as often as, e.g. en cuanto or apenas?
Gracias y saludos
This construction reminds me very much of the English use of “on [object pronoun]”, which is commonly used colloquially in the US. I can’t remember if I have ever heard UK speakers use it. There is another version that also inserts “up and” in front of the verb, which is usually but not necessarily in the past.
Eg:
My dog died on me.
(Or: My dog up and died on me.)
My car battery (up and) went dead on me.
My sister’s landlord sold the apartment building on her.
My dad’s assistant (up and) quit on him right in the middle of the busy season.
To translate 'understand a contract' you suggest 'comprender un contrato'
I was confused so consulted AI which said...
Entender (Intelectual): Se relaciona con la lógica y la percepción de la información. Es saber de qué se habla.Ejemplo: "Entiendo las reglas del juego".Comprender (Vivencial): Implica internalizar, aceptar y poder aplicar el conocimiento. Es "sentir" o experimentar ese conocimiento.Ejemplo: "Comprendo por qué esas reglas son necesarias para que el juego sea justo".So I think it should be entender un contrato.GraciasI am trying to make my own sentences using preterite for ir etc. I wrote "Ella fue a casa"
but google is saying it should be "Ella se fue a casa". Why 'se'? is it like saying "she went home (to it)"?
other than habia how can you say there was/there were
Hi
Shouldn't aprender a and empezar a also be in this list? It is really useful.
I’m assuming en vez de can’t be used in the same way as por because there is a sense of obligation on behalf of the subject when using por? Yo tomé el carro en vez del autobús. Using por here would be wrong. Yo hice el trabajo por él porque estaba enfermo. En vez de here, would be wrong, right?
Cuando artistas colaboran con inteligencias artificiales ( plural )

I don't understand what's happening here?
Tan solo unos pocos años después de surgir como una curiosidad tecnológica
I'm very confused by this as according to the lesson, the structure:
'A tan solo + (length of time) + de' is used to express an action occurring before another action.
I don't see why my answer ' a solo pocos años de.. ' is incorrect.
Gracias
This lesson is difficult to understand because all of the examples use the Perfect form of the verb instead of also using the Preterite or Imperfect form. Could you change this to include examples with all the forms (as many of the test sentences don't use the Perfect form). Thank you.
