my English text-necessary

Question

I really need u to read my text to proofread it. Tnx in advance.

I can't stand this situation anymore, My heart... Oh my heart is now just like a biiig puzzle since it has broken to many parts of misery... I wanna get rid of some people & put them out of my heaven of peace... One day I may leave this disgusting town with all its lies, treasons, jealousies, disturbs & darn weather whose autumn belongs only to my rains of tear & winter to my huge avalanches of bad adventures. I'm too lonely to take a hand & too exhausted to stay in here. I may fly to my dreams by attempt wings... One day... I used to forgive & forget. Now, it's time neither forgive, nor forget. I love my twenty thus, it's time to live my own life. No need to permit anyone, I have the permission of the Lord.

Answer 1

Hello Alireza,

Welcome to the SpanishDict forum,

You asked:

Hi I just wanted to know what's the difference between these two sentences. -Soy estudiante de español. - Soy estudiante del español

Well, as joydeep rightly said,

Soy estudiante de español = I am a student of Spanish (ie: I am learning Spanish)

but Soy estudiante del español would mean I am a student of the Spaniard but the Spanish would not use del here but de

The first sentence is therefore correct but the second is not correct.

If you wanted to use the word del you could thoretically say:

Soy estudiante del idioma español = I am student of the Spanish language

but the Spanish say: Soy estudiante de español.

de means/= of ; but del = of the

The Spanish never say: de el but these words are contracted (shortened) to become del

in the same way, a + el becomes al = to the

Fui al cine sábado pasado I went to teh cineema last saturday.

I hope this helps

really helped tnx - caballer0, Jan 25, 2015

Answer 2

Soy estudiante de español. - Soy estudiante del español.

I am a student of Spanish - I am a student of the Spaniard.

In the context of language study, you may hear the second variant, but grammatically it's incorrect, (unless the speaker means the Spaniard is his teacher, but this would still be a strange sentence).

Answer 3

There is no difference, both are the same ... del is the contraction of "de + el" ... de + el = del,,, likewise ,, a + el = al ... this is the apocopation of the preposition and the article (definite or indefinite)..

So it is the same as saying in English .. I am a student of Spanish viz-a-viz saying .. I am a student of the Spanish ... where both mean the same and just an article has been used in the later sentence ..

So the Spanish sentence with del ,,is actually ... soy estudiante de el español ... where de and el fall in love and get married and become del.. no big deal

Very good, Jimmy! Just one small point in English we would never say I am a student of the English just I am a student of English - FELIZ77, Jan 25, 2015
