Question

Help!
My spanish teacher corrected me on my wrong translation but I didn't have time to write it down and he isn't there tomorrow. i need to write a script and memorize it by monday.
i'm trying to translate "i have wanted to see this movie for quite a while"
and he said that it should start something like "hace mucho tiempo" but I don't remember what comes after.

thank you!

Answer 1

If you still haven't seen the movie, and are not watching it right now (sssh!), I would use the present tense.

For example: "Hace mucho tiempo que quiero ver esta película", "Hace tiempo que tengo ganas de ver esta peli", "llevo tiempo queriendo ver..", etc.

Answer 2

"he tenido la gana de ver esta pelicula por mucho tiempo" or "queria ver esta pelicular por mucho tiempo"

Answer 3

ok. thaank you!

Hace mucho que no veo esta película.

Sorry, but that's not right. It was "I have wanted to see this movie for quite a while," which I think would be "Hace tiempo que he tenido ganas de ver esta película" or "He tenido ganas de ver esta película desde hace tiempo."

What you gave means "I haven't seen this movie for a long time."

Answer 5

Answer 6

Hace mucho que no veo esta película.
