Question

Hey guys,

Is the grammar in the following sentence right? burlarse means to make fun of, and I want to say, Two boys, in particular, made fun of Quetzcoatl a lot. How would I say, made fun of Quetzcotal more than everyone else? thank you gracias

Dos ninos, en particular, se burlaron de Quetzalcoatl mucho.

Answer 1

Pretty good, I'd just change where you put mucho as it usually sticks to the verb.

Dos niños en particular, se burlaban mucho de Quetzalcoatl.

Edit, sorry I missed it first time but if you're just speaking of general behaviour over a period of time it should be se burlaban in the imperfect tense instead of the preterite se burlaron. If it was a one off occasion then you can keep the preterite.

thank you so much! but can you check this- Los ruidos fueron los gritos de Quetzcoatl por su perro. - randomguy123, Oct 15, 2013
