Homework Question..

Question

I was just wondering how you would say "by" when you want to say a project is "by" someone...thanks!

Apparently the users aren't allowed to answer questions with the word "homework" in it. I was just sent a warning with how I should properly respond. The words "Do your own homework" were bolded. Sorry. - sinsonte, Jun 7, 2012

Isn't it the same thing if I ask the same question without saying it's a homework question? - cordanth, Jun 7, 2012

Yes, yes it is. - sinsonte, Jun 7, 2012

Answer 2

It's sometimes difficult and frustrating when you are trying to learn Spanish and you come to the point where you want to say "for" in Spanish, and you know that there are at least two ways to say it, and you don't know which one to use.

Fortunately, here at Spanish Dict, there exist a couple of good resources that you can use to become always prepared to face the Spanish "for" challenge confidently. One resource is the video lessons. Paralee Whitmire has prepared a lesson exactly dealing with this point. It is lesson 3.6. To get to that lesson, at the top of the Spanish Dict webpage, click the following sequence: Learn > Learn Spanish > Learn Spanish 3 > 3.6. There you fill find the lesson. Take notes using a notepad file, and save them. Then you will never have to worry with this issue again.

There is also more help on this issue available in the Resources Section. Check out this link: http://www.spanishdict.com/answers/100035/para-and-por

Answer 3

The novel is written by J.K. Rowling.

Hi guapo. It's "The novel was written.." in the past tense. I gave that as an example to the question. :-) - BradyLabuda, Jun 7, 2012
