When was the last time you...

[CrOtALiTo]

Then please.

To answer the question.

Far out.

Crotalito - there are plenty of "game" threads going on in the forums. Please don't rush this one. There are several conversations that need resolution. We will answer your question when we're ready...

Jessica - there were some questions about your most recent response to a question (see Here4Good's post) and a comment that I made about wanting to see you try this game in Spanish. I KNOW you are able to do it....

When was the last time you went to the theatre?

Last year, in my home-town.

Do you think it could be proper English in any environment?

Yeah it's true, I don't really care when was the last time you guys went to the toilet these games are means to learn things about the language and to come up with doubts that in another thread would not arise!



When was the last time you uttered a swearword?

I'm not sure. We would say "we had" about rain or snow or sunshine or even about temperatures in general:
- We had sunshine yesterday.
- We had a lot of rain last summer.
- We had snow every day for the past two weeks.
- We had temperatures in the 50's in December.

But I don't think that we would say "We had ____" about a specific temperature reading. I think I would say "It was 28 degrees yesterday".

ok, thanks a million, so that means I was overgeneralising terms and collocations!

This game is getting too confusing with side-conversations... it would be better if everyone kept the side coments after each answer-reply standard sentences.

So, from the last question:

One or two minutes ago.


When was the last time you lost an umbrella in a taxi?

This a side conversation that I'm trying to indicate by using blue.
I agree, it is a little confusing, but I'm certainly getting a lot more out of this than when it was question + one word answer, which didn't really stretch my English nor my Spanish. My reasons for being on the forum are to practise Spanish and help out where I can with corrections.
So, I'm willing to go with it. I find that if I read back through the replies I can understand without too many problems.
If people don't like the idea perhaps we can PM corrections and comments???????????
I would like to invite all users of this thread to give their comments.

@Here4good: One can keep side-comments while letting the game run on, by simply marking the answer and the new question before.
It would be nice to see you participating in more topics too, which would be also more helpful for your language practice.



So question is still:

¿Quieres decir así, usando quote ?

Con referencia a tu comentario de que te gustaría verme participar en más foros, porque me sería más útil para practicar el idioma, te comento que vivo y trabajo en España. Mí hija y mi marido son españole,s o sea que tengo mucho contacto con el idioma. Aquí escribo en los foros que me interesan - cuando puedo.

Okay, Angelica, I'll move on. (Although I'd really love to hear Jessica's answers to the questions posted in the previous page....)

Nunca. He estado en un taxi solamente algunas veces in mi vida. Nunca mientras está llueve.

¿Cuándo fue la última vez que leiste una novela de misterio?
