Comparando dos cosas? gracias
 
Qué tal,

¿Cuándo algún quiera comparar dos cosas o personas como se dice en español, "I hope that you have more luck than I"?

¡Espero que usted tenga más suerte que yo/me! - ¿Debo usar "yo" o "me" al fin de frase?

No es le mejor gramatica, es verdad, lo sé, ¿puede corregirlo para mí? por favor

gracias / many thanks:)

¿Por qué lo usa la palabra "tenga" en lugar de "tiene"?

Simply stated, because there is a verb of volition (espero) in the main clause, you have to use the subjunctive mood (tenga) in the dependent clause.

Thanks! I need to learn the subjunctive mood! It's one that I really haven't touched yet. I don't what the best order is to learn all the verb tenses. Verbs really are my big struggle!:sad:

A caray.



I have one doubt about your answer.


You said Compra personas.

You buy people.

Where do you buy people?

Perhaps you wanted to mean buying to the people.


I hope you can answer my doubt about it.:D
