Use of 'de'
Hello everyone...
How does one 'translate' this? El lee antes de dormir. He reads before he goes to sleep? Nope...that doesn't seem right :thinking: What does the 'de' mean in this context? It seems 'de' is used in so many different ways . Thanks a lot! lyla |
It's no good looking at de on its own in this sentence. There is the prepositional phrase antes de which means before, it's that simple. On its own de has very any other functions, which I can't list here, but there are other prepositional phrases with de, such as
debajo de = under delante de = in front of dentro de = (with)in después de = after detrás de = after. Hope that helps. :) Edit: He reads before he goes to sleep? :good::good: |
