In the beginning of the story, using present perfect was clear because she is saying that her best friend has come to visit. Afterwards, when she is narrating what they did each day, we have specific time (the day mentioned) and what they did which to me seems to be how we use preterite for a specific time (day) in the past, so it is confusing to see present perfect for specific time events in the past. Can you please explain why you continued to use pr. perfect and did not switch to another tense. To me (the "has come" in the beginning) would have been more appropriate with what they are going to do in the future since she mentions that "they have made tons on plans."
You say "Ustedes" which is plural but you translate it as "you" in the singular in the answer, so the learner does not know which answer to choose.
Is volverse used to mean radical or permanent changes as well?
Hi,
I am confused about when to include an 'a' between two consecutive verbs. My search seems to indicate the it depends on the former verb. If so, is it something that has to be memorised with the verb or is there a rule of thumb?
Thanks and regards,
Colin
Hola! Gracias por ese punto de gramática. Tenía una pregunta sobre ese tema. Porque decimos ''vete'' (go away!) en lugar de ''vate''? Porque la tercera persona del singular al presente del indicativo es ''él/ella va''. Porque utilizamos el presente del subjuntivo aquí? Gracias :-)
we will offer you the most romantic experience ever = os ofreceremos la experiencia romántica jamás vista
In the lesson the structure always includes más or mejor.
Should it be os ofreceremos la experiencia más romántica jamás vista?
Gracias
At the moment, the availabilty of these homes is very limited is translated as:
Por el momento, la disponibilidad de estas viviendas es muy reducida
Why isn't estar used here because at the moment surely implies that the situation is a temporary state?
Gracias
