Question

My spanish teacher has corrected a line of my spanish from 'como no pude nadar' to 'up que no pude nadar'. what is the translation of the correction?thanks.

Answer 1

I don't think 'up' has any meaning in Spanish. It's not a Spanish abbreviation....anyway, the second part as june10 has said means ' that I couldn't swim', 'que' being 'that'.

Answer 2

Could it just be a typo? Did he/she wish to change como to porque.

The only other thing that I can think of is that the "up" is some sort of annotative abbreviation.

Was she telling you the you needed to subordinate the phrase?

Answer 3

Hey Robynashers! Well, no pude nadar (I'm not sure about como without an accent mark) means: I couldn't swim and que no pude nadar means: that I couldn't swim. ¡Espero que sea gran ayuda!
