Hi, is despertar (Desperté) ever used for “I woke up”? I’ve seen it that way on some dictionary sites and wondered if it’s a mistake. Eg:
I woke up one morning with a sharp pain in my ear.Desperté una mañana con un dolor agudo en mi oído.Many thanks,
Shirley.
te, se, nos vs le, les
Hello,
For hours around noon/midnight, in Spanish, is "mediodía" only used for noon sharp? Or is it also used with "menos/y + minutes"? For instance, for 12:30 PM, would you say "Es mediodía y media" or is it best to say "Son las doce y media"?
Same for "medianoche".
La/le esperó dos horas.
Is 2 hours a direct object in, "I waited [for] 2 hours."?
Hi,
Can you explain when one might use sólo as opposed to solo? They both seem to mean "just" or "only."
Thanks. John
I wrote 'maestra' instead of 'profesora' and this was marked as a mistake. But why, isn't it the same?
I have difficulty to understand (Me cuesta entender) the difference between me voy and voy. Is it usually possible to yse them almost synonymously?
I am confused with fui and estuve. Fui is simple past but estuve is past also??
The way I learned, for many of the examples you give here, I would probably use the construction estar de acuerdo. (ie. Estoy de acuerdo contigo = I agree with you).
Can someone explain what the differences between acordar and estar de acuerdo are. I wonder if the latter is regional variation as I'm not sure if I ever heard it said in Spain?
