Indirect Object Usage
I am confused about the grammatical meaning of the indirect object in the following sentence:
MarÃa es la mujer con quien querÃa casarme. = MarÃa is the woman I wanted to marry. However, the indirect object "me" seems to be confusing, as the translation "I wanted to marry" implies I wanted to marry TO her, and thus would seem to be MarÃa es la mujer quien querÃa casarse. Adding to the confusion is that querÃa is the same verb appropriate for both the subjects "I" and "Maria." I guess the words "con quien" are supposed to clarify that "querÃa" refers to a different subject than in the first part of the sentence, and also I guess that "querÃa casarme" means that I wanted [MarÃa] to marry [to myself]. Still somewhat confusing... Última edición por Rusty fecha: July 15, 2013 a las 07:34 PM Razón: removed link |
