Quizás sería mejor, entonces, que le sujieras a él que usara conjunciones de vez en cuando a no escribir en oraciones cortas.
(Perhaps it would be better, then, if you told him to use conjunctions once in awhile instead of writing in short sentences.) Ha dicho Oberone que está usando el vocabulario que ha aprendido en su clase de español. Dado que aún sabe muy poco, creo que las frases que escribió fueron muy buenas. (Oberone said that he is using the vocubulary that he has learned in his Spanish class. Given that he doesn't know a lot yet, I believe the sentences he wrote are pretty good.) Ya sugerió Poli un lugar en dónde Hans puede juntar dos oraciones. He aquí más sugerencias. (Poli suggested one place where Hans could join two sentences together. Below are more suggestions.) Quote:

Yes, I'll correct your post. (I think my post is a better way to say my own text. It isn't necessary to say own in front of post, unless there's a chance that I'll misunderstand what text in your post you're talking about.)
Look for corrections later. (Échale un ojo aquí más tarde.) ![]() Last edited by Rusty; June 13, 2008 at 07:30 AM. |

Thank you very much all of you for your encouragement and corrections. They are greatly appreciated. I do have a question though on the dictionary words when you look something up on the website. Is the first word listed the prefered form of word?
They have already corrected the post but, I'll add my two cents to this one...then post my Spanish post. Quote:
Great job though! Obe |

As far as I've seen, the first word given in the dictionary is not always the right one. Many words, in both languages, can have several different meanings or ways that they can be understood. I would encourage you to look at a couple of different dictionaries. If you can find one with examples of sentences using the word, so much the better. Then, you can see in an instant which word fits.

Tienes razón, Jorge. El uso de las comas suena más natural, pero hay veces cuando el punto es necesario según las leyes gramáticas. Esas leyes son igual en inglés y español. |

The first word is not always the 'best' word, especially since many words have multiple meanings. One thing you should always do is look up a word, and look at the translations for it. Then take those translations and look them up and see with one translates back to your original word best. You can do that here by simply clicking on the word. I, like Rusty, usually use several different dictionaries too.

Still learning some new vocabulary it doesn't really carry on a conversation. It's mostly numbers and things as the moment, so not sure how to post them to get the practice with them. I still want to continue though here, I'm learning a lot and can't wait to be able to say more stuff to y'all.
Note: "Y'all" is a slang form of you all. It's used primarily in the Southern region of the U.S. and is not proper English. However, it is similiar in use I believe to the you plural form in Spanish. Vosotros = Y'all. ![]() |

![]() I've seen the water tower pictured on the page many times. Try out some sentences with numbers in them, Oberone. We'd love to see how many different sentences you can make. ![]() Last edited by Rusty; June 26, 2008 at 03:08 PM. |

I think you all and y'all fulfill a need in the EnglishE language to distinguish
you singular and you plural. Coming form the northeastern United States I don't use you all much and never use y'all. There is an unfortunate equivalent that some people from around these parts (myself excluded) use that's a Yankee equivalent to y'all. It's (please excuse the expression) yuz. Example: How yuz doin' ![]() This is one of our ways of advertising lack of education.

On the west coast and among the younger generations, lots of people use you guys to fulfill the need for a plural pronoun.

We have all been talking about the different ways of saying things from different parts of the country. Not only you guys but dude/dudes, homies, etc. Welcome again. Elaina ![]() |
