Contra vs en contra
Not sure what the difference is. For example if I want to say "When we play cooperative, we play against the computer" would it be:
"Cuándo jugamos cooperativo, jugamos contra la computadora" Or "Cuándo jugamos cooperativo, jugamos en contra la computadora" |

Hi,
Just to add that we probably use just "contra" mainly in games. For instance: "Real Madrid jugó contra el (equipo) Barcelona". "Me ha tocado jugar contra Elena". (for example, when playing cards) "En contra de" may be more of an emotional state or a statement. For instance: "Estoy en contra de las grandes empresas". "No estoy en contra suya (de él) pero no me gusta lo que ha dicho". Regards |
