Costó/costaba
Hola a todos:
¿Me podrían decir si está bien lo siguiente, por favor? 1. (en una tienda, al ver la etiqueta del precio) -¿Cuánto costaba (todavía no se la ha comprado) la camiseta?=How much did the T-shirt cost? -X pesetas 2. -¿Por qué no te lo compraste? -(Porque) era bastante caro/costaba bastante 3. Dice: aunque costaba (regresas a ese momento al ver la etiqueta)/costó (te enfocas en haberlo comprado) un poco más de lo que quería pagar, pensé que lo podría usar durante años Gracias |

This is what si happening and i would like to see contexts, which are not clearly defined... (to me, at least)
![]() 1. (en una tienda, al ver la etiqueta del precio) Is this happening while seeing the price tag? -¿Cuánto costaba (todavía no se la ha comprado) la camiseta?=How much did the T-shirt cost? -X pesetas Maybe it changed priced, so how much did it cost?/what was the price? It wouldn't matter if the person bought or not the item. (See what I mean?) 2. -¿Por qué no te lo compraste? -(Porque) era bastante caro/costaba bastante)=It was pretty expensive/It cost quite a bit 3. Dice: aunque costaba (regresas a ese momento al ver la etiqueta)/costó (te enfocas en haberlo comprado) un poco más de lo que quería pagar, pensé que lo podría usar Ok, got it! this one (#3), to me, both are ok. I didn't read it well the first and second time around ![]() I know, it pays to read, carefully. ![]() |
