I don't have any nursery rhyme, but I can try to explain the basics: Present tense in English is the same verb for I/you/we/they. The verb add -s for he/she/it (note that some verbs add -es, normally when the verb ends in -o, -s, -sh or -ch) Example: I love, you love, he loves, she loves, we love, you love, they love. Past tense is the same form for everybody (yay!) and regular verbs just add -ed or -d to the main form. Example: I loved, you loved, he loved, she loved, we loved, they loved. Irregular verbs are irregular in the sense that they don't add -d/-ed, but they still are the same form for everybody. Example (past of to see): I saw, you saw, he saw, she saw, we saw, they saw. So, for most verbs you basically need to know if it's irregular, and in that case what's the past form... the rest is simple. There are some special verbs you need to know, which don't follow these rules, but it a small number: - be: (present: I am, you are, he is, she is, it is, we are, they are; past: I was, you were, he was, she was, it was, we were, they were) - have: (present: I have, you have, he has, she has, it has, we have, they have; past: had) - can, may, will, must don't add -s for he/she/it. Their past versions are also special and are not always used as past: could, might, would ... I know it's a lot, but once you understand these basic rules, you are ready to just add more vocab. After you understand this, then you can check the rest of the conjugations, which are obtained by means of combining with auxiliary verbs. Hope to help.

The translation of that sentence would be: She also has me, and that makes her perfect! I am assuming that whoever is speaking is talking about the Virgen (that's why I used 'she'), but it may be talking about the city (Quito).. in that case it would be It also has me (in it) and that makes it perfect! Hope to help.

Ambos son correctos. Normalmente cualquiera de las dos es posible, aunque uno es mejor que el otro. Este artículo puede ser interesante: http://www.italki.com/article/189/understanding-the-position-of-spanish-adjectives#.U7u1K7HCdQI

Es una buena e interesante pregunta. De acuerdo a la Real Academia de la Lengua (el organismo oficial), ambos son correctos y el mismo idioma. Castellano es la lengua de Castilla, a diferencia de las lenguas de Cataluña y el País Vasco (Euskadi). Sin embargo, dado que es la lengua oficial del Reino de España, es llamada también español. Yo soy de Chile, y ambos nombres se usan casi indistintamente. Cuando era niño, en la escuela teníamos una clase de "Castellano", pero ahora se llama simplemente "Lenguaje" (clase de lectura, escritura, gramática y literatura castellana/española). Creo que en España prefieren usar español. Saludos, Daniel.

It can be a little confusing, I know. First of all, esto/eso/aquello can only be used as pronouns, that is, without a noun. When you say, "what's this?" --> "¿qué es esto?" Este/esta/eso/esa/aquel/aquella can be used without a noun when in English you would add "one"... for instance: "- Which is the book you want? - This one" --> "- ¿Cuál es el libro que quieres? - Este". (the tricky part is that you have to use the -e version when one replaces a masculine object, the -a version when feminine) When you use them with a noun, then the same rule of masculine/feminine applies, and you use este/ese/aquel or esta/esa/aquella. Hope that helps.

Hi Yolanda,

 

I am trying to learn Cantonese, so I'm trying to find Cantonese friends to practice. I speak Spanish and English, if you want to practice any of those.

 

Good luck!

"Sí" is a third person pronoun, so using "entre sí" with "nosotros" doesn't work (it sounds really weird). Using "con los demás" is ok, but it's indeed more literal using "los unos con los otros" or "los unos a los otros" (you can say in Spanish "estar conectados con" or "estar conectados a"). Notice that it is "LOS unos a los otros". Regards, Daniel.
