![]() And I always mix up "hecho" and "hago", because you see the former more (on product packaging) and has a deceptive false-yo-form ending. Gracias. |

Better indeed, Fazor... Macabre, but correct. Just a small correction:
Llamé a la policía al encontrar el cadáver. ![]()

It's the verb what provides the "personal" treatment. "Llamar" gives the idea of "someone", even if you're calling the dog. "Llamé al perro".

Creo en el ejemplo se no usa "la personal a" . Sí hay un ratón que vive en tus zapatos, tal vez tú lo usas
![]() Reglas por "la personal A" Se lo usa antes un nombre propio, (cuando el nombre es una persona, o un animal, aunque no zapatos jeje) Tú adiestraste a Bobberinky, el ratón que vive en tu zapato Tambien lo debas antes un pronombre *pronoun* que represente una persona No espero a nadie Espero comprendertelo ![]() No usas la persona a antes el verbo TENER Tengo

Llámame, llámanos, llamándote, ... In sentences without an IO: Llamaremos mañana por la tarde. Llamarán por teléfono. You can also use it without "a" with the meaning "my name is" Me llamo irmamar. |

Reflexive: me lavo, me peino, me miro (al espejo), me visto... (a mí misma) Pronominal: me voy, me llamo, me acerco, me duermo, me despierto (no a mí misma) I had never thought that this could be a problem for foreigner people, I'm so used to use pronominal verbs... But now I realize that this is a problem and I don't know the good way to learn them, but practice, maybe... ![]() Llamándome: calling me; llamándote: calling you Me estaba llamando por teléfono y no lo oí: He was calling me up but I didn't hear it. IO: Indirect Object: Objeto o complemento indirecto. But I should say DO, Direct Object (I'm so sorry) Llama a María (María is the DO, not the IO -it's difficult for me to explain these things in English) Llámala would be using the pronoun but not "a". Gracias a ti y a todos. Yo también aprendo y recuerdo ![]() ¡Eh, de amigo, nada! ¡Que soy una chica! Last edited by irmamar; May 15, 2009 at 08:53 AM. |
