Help with sentence for homework

Question

Yo siempre _________ (trust) de mis amigos. (1 point)

I understand that there would be a me after siempre. I even put me confío, but it is still wrong.

Welcome to SpanishDict, Alexis. Is that your best attempt? - rac1, Oct 1, 2017

No go to the link jtaniel gave you and reread my answer. You cannot use confiar as it is followed by en. You need the next one ending in se. which is followed by de. - Mardle, Oct 1, 2017

Your latest try is using the preterite which is a past tense. I assumed you could use the present. - Mardle, Oct 1, 2017

HI Alexis, welcome to the forum.

We always require students to give their own attempt. However, you already did that, so here is my answer and you will see why you were wrong.

Yo siempre me fio de mis amigos.

trust: confiar en, fiarse de.

As you have "de" in your sentence, there is no other choice.

Yes , confiar en mis amigos but fiarme de mis amigos. - Polenta, Oct 1, 2017

Answer 2

Look here, follow links if need be, pay attention to "de mis amigos" versus "en mis amigos."

Ah you kindly gave the link whereas I just said where it was. - Mardle, Oct 1, 2017

You very kindly gave more help than I did. - jtaniel, Oct 1, 2017

Answer 3

Hi Alexis Welcome to the forum. We always correct any Spanish you write, but don't just give you the answer.

If you put the word trust in the translator on the front page of the site it will take you to a page with a couple of verbs and various sentences.

If you look closely you will see the first verb confiar (confidence) is followed by the preposition en, but you are looking for a verb which is followed by de.

The second verb on the page is followed by de and is reflexive. That means your sentence will begin 'me'. It is an ar verb.

Edit your question to add your answer and we will tell you if it is correct, or answer any doubts you have.
