Quiero practicar la escritura en español - Page 3

Some corrections. :)

Thanks Irmamar - just one question, why is it "se acaba" and not "es acaba"? I am really struggling to grasp the usage of se!

"Acabar", int its pronominal form is "acabarse", so you need the pronoun to conjugate it. "Es" is a form of "ser", which makes no sense here. The correct pronoun is "se" in this sentence. However, you could say "se está acabando", with "estar", but you need the pronoun, too. Is it clearer now? :thinking: :)

Thanks :) Its clearer, but we will see if I mess up next time :lol:

Try to write some sentences with some pronominal verbs. ;)

I will - I just need to find out what a pronominal verb is first :D

Look here. :)

Thanks thats a great site!

Do you think it would help if I practiced by listing a few pronominal verbs in the infinitive then conjugated them using reflexive pronouns?

Do you mean, for instance with "dormirse" something like:

Dormirse:

Yo me duermo.
Tú te duermes.
Él se duerme.
etc.

I think it's good. But do a complete sentence.

Yo siempre me duermo pronto.

You can take any verb, of course. :)

acordarse - to remember

Me acuerdo que cuando éramos jóvenes (I remember when we were young)

Te acordaste de traer la cerveza (You remembered to bring the beer)

Él no se acordaría su cabeza si no adjuntó (He would not remember his head if it was not attached)

¿Os acordaréis a sacar la basura? (Will you (plural) remember to take out the trash?):thinking:

EDIT: Just to clarify, am I right when I say that If the action of the verb (remembering in this example) is done by the subject (Yo, Tu, El etc) then the verb will be the pronominal verb and not the standard verb and will be used with a reflexive pronoun (Se, Te, Os, Nos etc)?

¿Ves como no es tan difícil? :thumbsup: :)

Hola a todos, ¿Qué tal?

Hoy estoy mucho cansado porque me he despertado muy temprano. Tengo que ir a una sesión de fotos en Dubai. ¡Me disgusta tener que despertarme temprano!

De todos modos, tengo que salir ahora para que puedo que estar listo.

¡Muy bien! :)

Gracias. ¡Dos errores es mejor que acostumbrado!

Hello.

Good morning.

Dos errores es mejor de lo acontumbrado.

I hope you can understand me and it can be useful for you.

Sincerely yours.

Thanks Crotalito, I appreciate it :)

By the way, I just want to say that I have opened the exact same thread on a couple of other "spanish learning" forums and this one is the only one I have had actual good help - so thank you to everyone who has responded and corrected my errors, it really is helping me.

You're welcome. :)

But "acostumbrado". ;)

You're welcome.

Great man.

And well with reference to your message in my inbox, I have answered you right now.

Thank you for the advance.

Hola a todos, ¿qué tal?

Esta semana he estado muy ocupando con trabajo, pero esta ha sido muy divertido. La boda que fotografié ayer por la noche ha sido increíble. Los novios son locos. Hubo una bailarina del vientre. Es bueno tener las fotos de una bailarina del vientre para mi cartera...claro, esto es la única razón que lo disfruté. Jaja ;)

I think I have messed up some verb conjugation in this as I struggled to choose the tenses...

Great work! :thumbsup:
Conjugation is fine. :)
