Why is "bajar" and not "bajando" used here?
I have the following:
"Dos veces el año, el primer día de primavera y el primer día de otoño, se puede ver a una serpiente bajar del templo. Parece una serpiente de fuego, pero es el sol reflejado en las escaleras del templo." I'm a bit thrown by the use of "bajar". I would have expected "bajando". Is it normal to use an infinitive as a progressive like this? I'm also wondering why the personal "a" seems to be used before "una serpiente". |
