27
Q

A

Le compré el libro a Miguel

Note that the word comprar, as well as a few similar words (e.g. robar, quitar), often uses the preposition a to denote the person from whom the item is being purchased, rather than using de.

34
Q

Translate to Spanish.

I don’t care if you come or not

A

(A mí) no me importa si vienes o no

I care - me importa. (Literally “It is important to me.”) Note that this verb works similarly to verbs like gustar, because the object of “care” in English becomes the subject of the Spanish importar

35

51
Q
