Hallar vs Encontrar

Question

Is hallar used in conversation besides encontrar?

Answer 1

They are the same, you can use both .

Remember in English to put "it" in front of "is" in this case. It is the same... - Tosh, May 28, 2011

Geez. Now I'm wrong. Since there were two things, it should be "They are the same...". - Tosh, May 28, 2011

Thank you for the feedback! - fjfuentesh, May 28, 2011

Now I have a question. Is correct to say "It is the same thing, you can use both"? - fjfuentesh, May 28, 2011

You would say, "They are the same thing; you can use both." - Azabache, May 28, 2011

Yes, my first comment was wrong. My second was correct. - Tosh, May 28, 2011

Ok, thank you! - fjfuentesh, May 28, 2011

If you are referring to one thing, you could say, "It is the same thing as (something else)". But you still need the "it" at the beginning of the sentence. - Tosh, May 28, 2011
