Hello, My name is Dion. I am a Firefighter living in Brooklyn, NY. I am single with no children. My hobbies including bowling, DJ'ing and most of all traveling. I fell in love with latin music, food and culture while visiting the Dominican Republic and Cuba. This year I am planning to go to Colombia, Mexico and possibly Venezuela. I would like to improve my Spanish to help me with my job as well as improve communication when I travel. I am hoping to one day become a fluent Spanish speaker.

    It sunk or It has sunken would both be correct. "Can you get the leaf?" and "Can you pick up the leaf?" would have the same exact meaning here. Both would be correct and understood as a request to grab the leaf out of the water. "Can you reach the leaf?"could mean the same thing but it could also be interpreted to mean "Is the leaf close enough for you to pick it up?" not necesarily implying that you want the leaf to be picked up. It would probably be better to say "Can you get the leaf?" or "Can you pick up the leaf?"

    These words are very close in meaning but be careful. There are situations where it would be better to use one over the other and other situations where it wouldn't make sense if you used one over the other.

    Only use "nowadays" when talking about something that has changed from the way it was in the past. For example: "I use to eat meat but nowadays I only eat vegetables." Or " Nowadays everyone sends text messages instead of calling."

    It would be WRONG to say <em>"</em>I went to the store <em>nowadays</em><em> </em>to buy some sugar." It would be CORRECT to say: "I recently went to the store to buy some sugar."
