Online Spanish for Expats

SENTENCING

Should you have made plenty of boo-boos, don’t worry. As I said, Spanish is somewhat different from English in the sense that the former takes into consideration human feelings more deeply and it manifests from day-to-day chat. CORRECT them per today’s lesson and learn to speak the Nica way.

Yes, it’d pay heavy dividends in the long run.

Having translated the sentences in Spanish, masticate them five per day until you have memorized them well.

13. Carlos SE ACERCA de María.

That reflexive pronoun se is shown with the verb whenever you wish to emphasize subject’s action. True, that se is used all the time and has become the most versatile pronouns as it’s used for numerous occasions.

14. Carlos llega A Granada.

15. María no es tan alto COMO Carlos.

16. Carlos lo interpreta COMO señal de Buena suerta.

The preposition COMO is commonly used as AS, remember that.

17. MIENTRAS Carlos camina hacia la plaza, encuentra a María.

Las plazas or plazuelas are common for Latin America cities no matter how small for boy meets girl places.

18. Carlos pide un libro A María.

19. Carlos LE pide un libro.

LE means HIM or HER just as ME=me, TE=you(informal), NOS=us, LES=you all or them regardless of direct subject or indirect subject’; however it could also mean USTED(formal).

20. Carlos hace una pregunta A María.

First of all. prepositions are ubiquitously used in Spanish, much more so than English which very often omits them. As I said, Latinos are a hell of lot emotional than we are. Keep that in mind.
