Hello,
Re: Por la mañana desayuno a las nueve.
I have breakfast at nine in the morning.I noticed in the above that the structure of the sentence is quite different.
Could it also be: Desayuno a las nueve por la mañana.
If yes/or no why and what would the difference in meaning.
Are there any rules/lessons concerning this?
Thank you. Nicole
No quiero que ________ el dinero que te he dado.I don't want you accidently losing the money I gave you.
The answer se te pierda.
Just a thought! Perhaps point out the use of the subjunctive in this example.
I have the worst time remembering which one is what. I get ese/esa and esto/esta mixed up all the time. Any suggestions on how to remember them?
Aquello/aquella isn't so hard to remember since it's so different
Could you explain 'dime' for me please. Would this be classed as an Imperative? I'm thinking especially of sentences like, 'Dime algo'
Gracias
Clara
Like Ian, I am confused by some of the examples given here, in particular:
Iremos adonde tú quieras, cariño >> We will go where (to whichever restaurant) you want, darling...
... which does involve movement, but despite that it uses 'donde' - with no accent !
And in the short quiz included in this site, I got this question wrong:
We are taking the children to where they can run around freely > Llevamos a los niños ________ puedan corretear libremente…. i.e., I [incorrectly !] chose "adónde" with an accent because it did seem to involve movement … (but no ! - it had to be "adonde").
Can we get an option to remove hints from the tests?
For example with the following hint:
HINT: Conjugate “ser” in El Pretérito Imperfecto
There is really no point to the question, because I can easily conjugate the verb if you tell me this...the difficulty is in knowing when to use the imperfect vs the preterite.
I would also like an option to get rid of the multiple choice answers for the one or two word answers. Sometimes you can eliminate three options just based on context without actually understand the grammar that is supposedly being tested.
Right now it is too easy to get the right answer when you don't really know the topic very well.
Hola,
The translation is given as "You could have told me before."
My step by step translation is "You could have to me it said to me earlier / before."
Can you explain why to "to me" is repeated?
Thanks. John
1. Could you remember these exclusively as occasions in which you are pointing at something?
2. What about using "over there" when you refer to another country?
Gracias, Ricky
