Answer 1

A dictionary, not a translator, is your best friend. As a matter of fact, the more dictionaries the better.

I ended up with 6 of them!

You could say "sagely advice" but sage advice is what I have heard more often if not exclusively among English speakers. It's not very grammatical to use an adverb (sagely) form to describe a noun, but then I've never heard it used as an adverb either. - Jubilado, Aug 14, 2013

Hmmm, It must be an old way to express the same thought...I am talking about sagely, I answered because it looked odd to me.Like i said i would be used "wise" anyday. :) Thanks. - chileno, Aug 14, 2013

Answer 2

I would say the same rules you learned when you were 5 or 8 years old.

Answer 3

Grammar is not a way to learn Spanish it is a tool to understand how the language is used and how to describe parts of a language. You should do the lessons and consult grammar for clarification. However, if you are unfamiliar with English grammar it can be confusing. Capitalization of nouns is a grammar point in both languages and they are not the same. Minimally, you should know what these words mean: noun, verb, tense, adjective.

Answer 4

I started using this site some days ago and I go lesson by lesson as it is suggested by creators. If any questions arise, I take a look at the grammar rules. Otherwise I would go totally confused.

Very good :) - Jubilado, Aug 14, 2013

That is sage advice. Welcome to the forum! Buena suerte! - Findy, Aug 14, 2013

Hmmm, I would say "sagely advice", if not I would use "wise advice", but then again, I might be wrong, you know I do not know grammar. :) - chileno, Aug 14, 2013

Answer 5

Start learning with what you will actually use; then use it. Later learn more as your needs grow. That's what I am doing.
