Va a llover?
Va a llover?
Rosetta Stone answers No, no va llover pronto. Are we missing an "a" in the answer? I'm in my normal state of confusion. Bob Ritter, Pensacola, FL. |

Maybe they spoke it so fast that you can't hear the separate "a".
No va a llover hoy. If you say it fast enough, you may not distinguish the "a".

(Spanish pronunciation, of course) Another example: "Él viene en taxi". Pronounced; "el bienen tAxi" (one of the "e's" disappeared.)

Thanks all! In Rosetta Stone the sentence was actually displayed without the "a". They just missed it.
I'm well aware of the "sinalefa" thing. It is a major problem when trying to learn. I lived in Puerto Rico for 6 months and I think they are really good, or bad, at it. Makes it impossible to go from "book learning" to actually understanding native speakers. I'll keep plugging and hope to spend a few months taking lessons in Equador or Guatemala later this year or early next. Thanks again for all your help. Bob Ritter brcr11@yahoo.com |
