Timmy, escuchar=to listen "to". You do not need the "a" (see cogumela's correction) unless it is the personal "a" - 0074b507, Apr 14, 2011

I think he’s expecting a son or a daughter or perhaps both…or maybe a case of beer!


Creo que está esperando un hijo o una hija o tal vez ambos…¡o posiblemente una caja de cerveza!

Ha dado a Su Hijo únicamente para que todo aquel que en Él cree, no se pierda, más tenga vida eterna.


He gave His only Son in order that all those who believe in Him, will not perish, but have eternal life.
