Detras vs. atras
People,
Are both forms correct in terms of the preposition? Estás detras de las matas. Estás atras de las matas. Is either form more common? Thanks in advance, Dean Last edited by silopanna; July 17, 2008 at 05:05 AM. Reason: Spelling mistake |

Silopanna, it's correct your examples, you can use both sentences, here I show you another example:
Mi hermano esta detras de la casa. If you've some doubt about this example, please let me know.

No, no son correctos los dos ejemplos. La única opción correcta es detrás de, tal y como dice Poli.

Alfonso, good morning or good night in your case.
Why do you say to are both examples're bad.? Estás detras de las matas. Estás atras de las matas. Ambos ejemplos son entendibles, o dime porque motivo o razon pueden estar mal los dos ejemplos saludos.

Atras and Cria Cuervos
The reason that I ask is because I always thought is was: "detras de".
But in the movie Cria Cuervos, where the little girls are playing hide and go seek, the little girl who was "it" announced that the other one was "...atras de las matas." At least I think that I head it that way, and I played in back several times. Perhaps I should ask "What is the most generally accepted and common form?" I am still confused on this one. Dean |

Well, At least I'll use this sentence ( Estoy atras de las matas, o igual Estoy detras de las matas que en realidad es lo mismo.)

I'm agreed with you, the second phrase is the more correct.

Sí, Rusty es correcto en decir que detrás de es gramaticamente correcto......
PERO Se usa más atrás de por la populación en general....por lo menos eso es lo que yo he descubierto..... POR ESO CrOtALito dice que atrás de es también correcto. Elaina |
