I wanted to know which of the above statements you thought was correct, or if you had another suggestion instead. I'm sorry if that wasn't obvious. - togtog, May 12, 2014

Answer 1

¡Hola! togtog:
 
If you like wishy washy answers that straddle both sides of an issue and refuse to make a commitment to either side, you have asked the right question.
 
What I recommend you to do is to conduct your own internet search using the search term "fuera afuera difference" (don't forget to put it in quotation marks). You will get tons of references and you will still not understand what the correct answer is. The respondents offer information out of both sides of their mouth at the same time and do not generally make a commitment one way or the other.
 
I suggest to you that whether you use fuera or afuera, you will be understood.
 
However, I did come away from my search feeling that "las afueras" is a reference to outskirts. See here ----> afueras. Geographically, is Cornwall on the outskirts of London??
 
Saludos/Best regards,
Moe

no it is not the outskirts of London it as far west as you can go in England and is populated by Celts with their own language. In Spain it is called Cornualles - Mardle, May 11, 2014

Thanks a lot, Moe. Yes, I've always understood 'afueras' to mean outskirts or suburbs, which it why I thought option 2 might be wrong. Option 1 was my attempt at a better version, but I thought the great and good of spandict might know more than me! - togtog, May 12, 2014

Answer 2

Cambridge es un lugar muy bonita a visitar al fin de la semana en el verano. Hay muchas tabernas y hotels medievales a reserva por una noche o dos . Adicionalmente, Cambridge es muy famosa porque es la mayor ciudad de universidad en Inglaterra. Hay buenas tiendas para ir de compras y restaurantes excelentes para comer. Y por supuesto ir a pasear en batea por el río Cam.

Cambridge is a really lovely place to visit for a weekend in the summer. There are many medieval pubs and inns to stay in for a night or two. Additionally, Cambridge is very famous for being the oldest university town in England. There are great shops to go shopping and excellent restaurants to eat in. And of course, you can go punting on the river Cam.

I would love to visit there. :) - rac1, May 11, 2014

I don't think you should have 'al el' seeing as al is a contraction of 'a el'? - togtog, May 12, 2014

Also, I think it is more of a ciudad than a pueblo! - togtog, May 12, 2014

Thank you for the help togtog. You are right. Changed it. :) - GabriellaMonique, May 12, 2014

I've also just found out that it isn't the oldest - it is the second oldest, having been founded by people from Oxford University! :-) - togtog, May 12, 2014
