We don't need a history lesson

Question

Could you just say "No necesitamos una lección de historia"?Or do you need to say "No necesitamos tener una lección de historia" or are these both wrong? or is one wrong. Gracias.

Answer 1

I believe that either one is OK, it's just that they say two slightly different things. The first, "we don't need a history lesson", and the second, "we don't need to have a history lesson". I think that the same way that either of these would be correct in English that they also would be correct in Spanish.

I think so too, but I must ask so many questions, otherwise people will say "What of Jeezzle. What of the questions. It is Sunday and where are the Jeezzle questions" and feel sad. I can't allow that to happen. - jeezzle, Nov 7, 2010

Answer 3

No nos falta una leccion de historia.

"no nos hace falta una lección de historia" sounds better..."no nos falta una lección de historia" almost sounds like "we don't lack a history lesson"... - Myneg, Nov 7, 2010
