Supongo que el 29 es "trabajas en clase". Lo del elástico también me desconcertó! - cogumela, Oct 24, 2010
The sentence with elastic is very poorly constructed. I hope it reads, "Holland is not elastic." And it really is a poor sentence as far as meaning; but hopefully I did the grammar okay. - bandit51jd, Oct 24, 2010
Are you sure it's "del"? "Del" is "of the" and I'm meaning "in the hotel". Thank you. - bandit51jd, Oct 24, 2010
Yes, I'm trying to say, "You work in class". We are learning "in class" in Spanish means "en la clase". - bandit51jd, Oct 24, 2010
Yes, as Bill said , it is "del". In that case , 25 = Holanda no es elástica. - cogumela, Oct 24, 2010
And "ät home" is translated "en casa". Sentences 29 and 30 are showing the differnce. #29 uses the article and #30 doesn't. - bandit51jd, Oct 24, 2010
If for forum purposes other countries do this differently, please comment. I just have to test myself on what is in the coursebook. - bandit51jd, Oct 24, 2010
The "del" has something to do with the restaurante of the hotel? - bandit51jd, Oct 24, 2010
Siempre hay can mean, "there is always, or there are always"? So my sentence is hopefully reading, "There is always a plane in the sky"? - bandit51jd, Oct 24, 2010
I think I understand what you mean about 29 & 30, but for all purposes "at home" and "at the classroom" sound the same in Spanish, "en casa" and "en clase". Other places do have an article, like "at the mall", "en el centro comercial". - bill1111, Oct 24, 2010
As for the hotel, yes, in Spanish it sounds just like that, restaurant *of* the hotel. - bill1111, Oct 24, 2010
If you want to say something like "at any one time, there is always (at least) a plane in the sky", then you'd say "siempre hay algún avión en el cielo". You cannot say "hay avión", and if you say "un avión" it looks like it is always the same plane. - bill1111, Oct 24, 2010
Thank you Bill; it's a ltttle confusing because in a Spanish class I have to go with what they teach, but it's nice to know how phrases are actually used in Spain. - bandit51jd, Oct 25, 2010
I'll try and remember "algún". - bandit51jd, Oct 25, 2010

29 works both ways:
trabajas en clase
trabajas en la clase

Yes.. *but*. If you say "en la clase", you need to specify which class, otherwise it sounds incomplete, eg: "trabajas en la clase de matemáticas". If you don't specify, it is better to say "en clase". - bill1111, Oct 24, 2010
