Mi esposo y yo vivimos cerca de la costa en una pequeña pero bonita ciudad en la Bahía de Plenty, Nueva Zelanda. Nuestras vacaciones más recientes fueron a España y pensamos que es también un país hermoso. Ambos estamos aprendiendo español como un pasatiempo. Me gustaría ayudar a alguien a aprender inglés, que al mismo tiempo me podría ayudar a aprender español. My husband and I live near the coast in a small but pretty city in the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand. Our most recent holiday was to Spain and we think it is also a beautiful country. We are both learning Spanish as a hobby. I would like to help someone learn English, who at the same time could help me learn Spanish.

    Google "Synonym for bad natured" and you'll get lots of suggestions. "Bad natured" would be more likely to refer to a group of behaviours that might make up a person with an unpleasant personality. If it was a specific unpleaseant thing, like meanness, dishonesty, crudity etc it would probably have been stated as such. Hmmmm... actually "nasty" is a pretty good synonym for "bad natured" as it could encompass more than one unpleasant characteristic.

    Hi Rose,

    Neither "We have visited friend Saturday" or "We visited friend last Saturday" are completely correct. 

    You might say either "We visited a friend on Saturday", "We visited friends on Saturday", "We visited a friend last Saturday" or "We visited friends last Saturday".

    To say "We have visited friends on Saturday" means you're not referring to a specific visit, but rather that you have to occasional habit of visiting friends on Saturday. 

    e.g.  "Hi A, would you like to come and visit on Saturday?"

    "We have visited friends on Saturday, but we prefer Sunday.  Would Sunday be ok?"


    In response to Jack's comments:

    Rose was correct with "How many grandchildren do you have?"  

    "How many grandchildren have you had?" suggests you're asking how many grandchildren he/she gave birth to.  "Have you had" is suitable If you're talking about chocolates etc: you could ask "How many chocolates have you had?" (eaten).

    I have been here since five months ago ---?  NO! Sorry.  You can say either "I have been here since March" or "I have been here for five months".

    Hi Jenny, Can you please provide more details to help us correct your sentence? Whose report are you referring to? Do you mean the amount negotiated needs to be reduced by 50 (dollars/yuan etc)? (I've assumed yes and answered accordingly). Or, do you mean the amount of change given from the transaction should be 50 (dollars/yuan etc)? "Based on your/the/this report, the change to the negotiated amount for A company is a reduction of 100¥ (or ¥100?). Based on my calculations for the agreement, the reduction should be 50¥. Can you verify the change for A company is -50?

    It does matter. Neither "first one is bright more" or "first one is more bright" is the correct way to say "the first one is brighter". "Which is more natural?" - correct. Which is natural more?" - incorrect.

    Hi Barbara, It was all easy to understand. Although, you have a typo "modrn". It's good. Kind regards, Andi.
