Profile
I am a British woman, half English and half Scottish, but with an English accent as I have always lived in England. I am currently learning Spanish as we hope to spend more time there in future. In 2016 I walked the Camino Del Norte and Camino Primitivo from Santander to Santiago de Compostela and to Finisterre. I am married. I am sorry, but at the moment I do not have much time to do language exchanges, as I am taking some lessons with a teacher and that is enough for now. This is a busy time for me. Perhaps in the Spring I will be able to do more. Lo siento, pero en este momento no tengo mucho tiempo para hacer intercambios de idiomas, ya que estoy tomando algunas lecciones con una maestra y eso es suficiente por ahora. Esta es una época muy ocupada para mí. Tal vez en la primavera podré hacer más. Soy una mujer británica, mitad inglesa y mitad escocesa, pero con acento inglés como siempre he vivido en inglaterra. Actualmente estoy aprendiendo español como esperamos pasar más tiempo allí en el futuro. En 2016 i caminó por el Camino del Norte y Camino Primitivo desde Santander hasta Santiago de Compostela y Fisterra. Estoy casada.

    Hi everyone, I have a huge doubt about something, could you help me with that? Please. A few time ago I was talking to a language partner, she's an English native. In a sentece I said "... in the night". So she corrected to me and told me that I have to say "at night" and never "in the night". However, my friend who is an English teacher and grew up in US until her 16 years old used a sentence "...in the night". So, I am confused because she told me I can use both sentences. Thank you in advance!

    If someone is 'better' it implies a change in themselves; like they have become a better person. If they are 'better off' it is a change in their circumstances that benefits them.

    You could use either, but 'shall' is better if you are just making a suggestion, whereas 'should' implies that there might be some reason why it wouldnt be a good idea. So 'Are you thirsty? Shall I make you some tea?' But 'Should I make you some tea? Or do you have to leave soon?' But we often use 'should' and 'shall' interchangeably in the first sense

    There is a phrase 'there there' which for instance you might repeat while comforting a child who is crying.

    I've never heard that phrase. I wonder if you mean 'Long time no see'. That is a common informal way to greet someone you haven't seen for a long time. 'Hi, John, long time no see. Have you been away?'

    It means it is very good timing. The idiom is that she asks a rhetorical question, knowing that the answer must be 'yes'. So if I threw a piece of paper across the room and it went directly into the wastepaper bin, I might say 'is my aim good, or what?' The 'or what' indicates that there is really no alternative to the 'yes' answer. If i just said 'is my aim good?' it would sound like a real question.

    What do you mean by 'the elderly' though? It would be correct if you mean 'all elderly people as a general class'. If you mean one person, you would have to say 'the elderly person etc etc '.

    I think I would be a bit suspicious if someone who said that - he sounds like a bit of a creep trying to imply he has 'hidden strengths'!
