No. 31 - Weekly perífrasis verbales: Practice Exercise: Verse + Participio
Note well - this week's perífrases verbales starts with the word verse then adds a participio form of another verb. Did you forget what a participio is? Here's a little help from the grammar section of this site: past participle - participio
And a book that uses them from Kiwi-Girl: ¿Qué he hecho book by Kiwi-Girl?
Verse + participio
To see oneself as/ to feel /look like/ seems as if + a verb form that tells how you see yourself in the moment - > (use a participio verb like 'lost' = perdida -> Change verb from its infinitive form to its participio form - perder + ida = perdida.
- to regard oneself as ......."
Example/Ejemplo
Me veo perdida en esta ciudad. ¡Es muy grande!
I feel lost in this city... It's too big for me.
