    Negation Hi everyone! I'm practicing negation on Duolingo, and just had something come up that I am curious about. Duolingo says the correct phrase is: Das Madchen isst die Suppe nicht. However, is it not more proper to say: Das Madchen isst nicht die Suppe? I thought that the negation comes after the verb? Any help appreciated!

    My cake

    I decided to make a cake following a recipe from the internet, everything was right and it seemed like it would be great but after cooking them the taste was bad. I don`t know what was wrong, I just know that who ate the cake was the garbage.

     

    Hi Augusto - great little story, and very funny :)  Just a couple of grammatical errors.  Good job!

    Hi Allen - Glimpse means that you see something only for a moment, and not clearly. Glance is a word that means you look at something briefly.

    In the eighteenth century, many British families would pay a nanny or governess to care for their children and to educate their female children at home. This was common in the nineteenth century too.

    Hi Amanda - All of these adjectives could be used to describe work in a negative way. However, you will use them differently in other situations. For example: He strained to move the box She put pressure on the leak. He was under great stress at school.

    Hello Marcia!  I've made some corrections below.  This is a great post and easy to understand, well done.

     

    correct me

     

    I've graduated from law school and agribusiness, but I intend to proceed with my law studies and law career. I've never had a problem in my college with grades or discipline.
    I don’t have a problem in working in groups, actually, I like it, because we can debate and exchange experiences and ideas.
    After my studies, I want to work hard to become a good lawyer and I'll be always to study, because I also want (in the future) to become a judge, for this I need to have experience.
    So in this midle time, I want to study at American College to expand my knowledge and vision. I’ve been reseaching and I found this opportunity in this institution.
    I’m interested in a Public Law, specifically in Constitutional Law, Administrative Law, Environmental Law and Tax Law. I’ve been interested in human rights and Universal Declaration of Human Rights, so I intend to work at the Organization of the United Nations as a volunteer. It’s interesting, because our Constitution was based on this Declaration.
    My thesis in a college was Control of Constitutionality and I had an opportunity to learn a little about American Contol of Constitutionality, because our system was based on the American and Austric Control.
    My goals are shared experience about brazilian law and american law, to compare, to have a larger vision of law, besides I want improve my english (law english).
    I’m very comitted to my career, to follow my dream and to become a successful person.

    Hi emarbe, You can actually say either. 'When parking at home' means 'while I was parking at the location of my home' - not 'in' the house. You can also say 'while parking when I arrived home', same thing.
