The same place more than once

[Falda Verde]

I'm a very weak spanish speaker but I try my best. So for an assignment I am struggling with saying somethings. One in particular is this: He painted the same place more than once. Would it be Él Pintó el mismo lugar más que una vez? Please help me soon, thanks

Some suggestions below:

Él Pintó (Check your use of capital letters) el mismo lugar más que (A preposition is needed instead*) una vez.

*For examples and explanations you can take a look here and here.

So then would it be: Él pintó el mismo lugar más de una vez.

Yes, and "él" is not strictly necessary.

A pleasure.

Thank you both so much

I wanted to bring this up again to ask, what tense would I use? The imperfect or just as I have it: the preterit?

[Rusty]

The tense you used is a correct translation of what you said in English. The imperfect tense would change the meaning.

[chileno]

hmmm that would depend on more context. Right?

Same thing in English.

[Falda Verde]

What would the meaning be if I used the Imperfect? also would this sentence be correct if I use the imperfect: Algunos de sus amigos eran...

[chileno]

Yes. It would be OK. But it would depend on the context to use one or the other....just like in your first question in this thread.

What's your native language?
