Please explain why the example "Nos han dado de beber porque ..." is not written as
"Nos han dado de berber a nosotros porque estábamos exhaustos...".
In other words, why is the "a" missing in that particular example?
Gracias,
Pati Ecuamigo
Usé ELECTO en vez de ELEGIDO. ¿Por qué ELECTO es un error¿
I have been studying spanish from books. now I have a good reading knowledge. Lawless has given me the opportunity to creat a "listining" ability. Now I can train my ears as well as my eyes!
Would not invoke the subjunctive would it? The test answer to this question says that it dies.
el cerebro se remodela literalmente en función de lo que hacemos cada día
Why isn't this 'de lo que hagamos?' As it doesn't refer to a specific activity and seems very hypothetical it looks the perfect candidate for a subjunctive.
Gracias
I chose " caliento" because "abrigo" is masculine. Why is "clienta"?
te gustará saber que en España existe una extensa área en el centro del paísTo me 'extensa zona' sounds better but what is the difference?
Gracias
The final Spanish text is different, and somewhat better, than the individual chunks presented during the translation exercise. For instance:
(1) "madrugar" (in the final text) when the individual chunk was "levantarse"
(2) "veraneantes" (in the final text) when the individual chunk was "turistas".
None of the examples uses articles before times or months (or, indeed, anything). This leads the poor naive student (me) to believe that articles are not used in these situations. And then I get a bad result on the first quiz I take because, yes, apparently one may use articles. Sure, it's a valid way to learn, but it's unnecessary.
