Practiqué más!

Question

I got a bit more practice with comparisons, impersonal se, and the preterite. I didn't get much done because I spent a lot of time trying to find rules for new types of sentences. So, I hope I did well!

¿Cómo se habla dos idiomas? How does one speak two languages?

Se lleva dinero por comprar cosas. One carries money to buy things.

Mis amigos están acampando en el bosque. My friends are camping in the forest.

Sabes muchos datos sobre astronomía. You know many facts about astronomy.

Tomaste más medicina ayer que normal. You took more medicine yesterday than normal. I know that adjectives use "más (adj) que (noun)". Do noun comparisons work similarly? Such as "Juego menos deportes que mi hermano," to mean "I play fewer sports than my brother?"

Fui a la oficina de correos después de almuerzar. I went to the postoffice after having lunch.

Mis amigos cocinan más que comen. My friends cook more than they eat. Is this the correct way to compare verbs done by the same people?

Gracias por leerlo. ¡Siempre les agradezco su ayuda!

¡Muy bien, Aracoun! Está casi perfecto

Se lleva dinero para comprar cosas. One carries money to buy things.

Tomaste más medicina ayer de lo normal. You took more medicine yesterday than normal.

"Juego menos deportes que mi hermano," to mean "I play fewer sports than my brother?" (In Spain, I think it would sound better "a menos deportes", but "menos deportes" it's usual in other countries).

Fui a la oficina de correos después de almorzar. I went to the postoffice after having lunch.

The words are easy to memorize. However, the little grammar rules seem like they'll take years to learn well. Gracias! - arocoun, Jan 31, 2012
