Please slow down and leave the sentences on the screen while you are explaining them. Then pause so we can look at the sentence and process what you have said. Also keep in mind that most people don’t know what the grammar classifications of these verbs mean. I’m glad you explain all this cause it’s one of the hardest parts of Spanish just can’t keep up with the pace.

I really enjoyed this video, and I plan to refer other people to it. I would suggest that you give more examples like the last one----describe the differences between fue, era, estuvo, and estaba in a few other situations. This would really bring home the concept.

Entiendo pero a veces con temas tan complicados para entender es preferible explicarlo en íngles. Es solo es mi opinión. Gracias por tu comentario.

How you feel and where you are is how you use the verb estar.

Es cierto, pero también hay más usos como Estaba leyendo un libro -I was reading a book. Estuve en el ejército. I was in the army.

So if I just finished eating at a restaurant and the food was good, in Spanish the right response would be "La comida estaba muy rico"? Is this correct?

@anytimeespanol

5 ай бұрын

Estaba would be correct if some time after the meal you were talking with someone about the food being good. But in your example where you just finished eating at this one specific time and are making kind of a final decision that the food tasted good, you would use estuvo. "La comida estuvo muy rica"

I thought of a video I would like to see. I use the word “get” a lot in English but it doesn’t exist in Spanish. How can you get around this?

@anytimeespanol

18 күн бұрын

That's a great video idea, thank you! To answer you quickly here, there are MANY ways to express get in Spanish, but the most common for using it as a direct translation of "get" in English would be conseguir and obtener. They're synonyms so you'll have to get used to how natives use them contextually to know which is more common but to start with, they're interchangeable. ¿Cómo puedo conseguir un trabajo en esta empresa? (How can I get a job in this company?) Necesitas obtener permiso antes de entrar el museo. (You need to get permission before entering the museum. )

It is very difficult so don't feel frustrated. I'm serious when I say that this is hard for native speakers! But instead of getting upset and just saying you can't grasp this concept, let's work through it. Tell us specifically what it is you don't understand, or give me an example of these 4 expressions and what you THINK they mean....you might subconsciously understand and be correct in most cases. Let's try it out!

Sorry, but you take 3 minutes to explain the introduction and then when you get to the examples, you race through them, so quickly!! Like 3 examples in ten seconds. I find this just annoying tbh

Thanks for the comment. We'll do, better in the future 🙌👍

I dont find "use word with other word" rules useful. I want to actually *understand* what's going on. How I could express bizarre counterfactuals in English with compound tenses...I could say that I'm going to time-travel to the past at some point in the future and, then, after that, looking back, I can talk about the difference between the two versions of the past..... I could say "I will used to have been". I can say this in English and know what I mean, and I'm not following a heuristic; I understand the meaning deeply, natively, and can parse this. In other languages, it needs to be the same. It's unsatisfactory to rely on heuristics as training wheels and never actually internalize the meaning as natives understand it

I believe the use one word with another works for more people than not. It's similar to the fake it until you make it system. Using one word with the other will eventually become more natural, and as you continue learning and immerse yourself in the subject, that deeper understanding will eventually come (for most of us). That's what has happened for me at every level of this journey...that sudden realization in conversation that I've been using a wrong phrase or word only to reach a much deeper understanding of it through conversation with my native Spanish speaking co-workers. I've had so many "a ha" moments over the past year it's unbelievable. I've literally thought up deeper and more complex statements, asked my coworkers, and told I was correct. A year ago I could hardly string together three words to form a thought or verbal statement, and then I decided to "get serious". 12 months later I'm intermediate, can carry on a limited basic conversation and understand about 70% of what's being said (up from about 20% a year ago), and I am only going to get better and develop a deeper understanding if I continue. I had to watch this particular video three times. The fourth time it actually clicked which just means I'll need to watch it a fifth time before work tomorrow and then practice with my coworkers to perfect my usage. Through that method alone my understanding always deepens. Experiencing how they use and understand a word or phrase versus what I interpreted from a textbook or online practice video. You sound like an academic type so I know you understand how that works more than anyone. You would eventually be able to say you will used to have been whatever, whenever, or however, and it's going to happen naturally and organically if you actually continue studying. Just saying.
