as it has a time of termination.
I know that "no vayamos" is the correct negative command for "ir"; but I was under the impression, and my Barron's verb book confirms, that the correct affirmative imperative for "ir" is "vamos" not "vayamos".
Hello, I would like a little help please. In my head in order to differentiate between the imperfect past tense and the preterite past tense, I think "I used to...." to pick the imperfect. In some of the examples here in kwiziq the "used to" is translated into English, such as here "Vosotros trabajabais en Madrid durante los años 80" as "I used to work in Madrid during the 80's"
However I have also seen "Soler" used for "used to" especially with 'IR" for used to go,
"Solía ir ..."
Is my "used to" translation for the imperfect to literal, and is it better to use "Soler" with verbs for "used to go" or "used to do" etc.
Sorry about the italics, I cut and paste a character and I can't turn them off!
Escucho y uso "De qué se trata?" cuando pido más información sobre un libro o película.
Así por qué no se usa "De qué trata?"? A veces veo "este libro se trata de..." también. No es correcto en absoluto?
Gracias!
I have seen three words for car: el carro, el automóvil, y el coche. How do I know which to use? Are these regional? I see a lot about Spanish in Spain vs North America.
Hello,
I did a search to find a lesson to learn these terms, but could not find any. I did see the word "lejos" in a list in the directions lesson, but nothing else.
Could you tell me 1) how to look for lessons (will just doing a search find these?) and what lesson you have that would encompass this. Thank you. Nicole
Is poner more common than meter?
Hi,
Can you explain when one might use sólo as opposed to solo? They both seem to mean "just" or "only."
Thanks. John
