When do you use preterite and imperfect tense in Spanish? Thanks

1 answer:

5 0

You use preterite to describe an action that took place and was fully done, Ex. José entro a la habitación, you can see John went into the room, he completed the action. On the other hand, imperfect tense doesn't specificate if the action was completed, Ex. José entraba a la habitación, it doesn't tell us if José fully entered the room.

A mí también me gusta visitar todos los lugares turísticos.

Olenka [21]

Answer:

A mí tampoco me gusta visitar los lugares turísticos.

Explanation:

In the sentence " A mí también me gusta visitar todos los lugares turísticos" we have an affirmative sentence. If you want to transform this sentence and make it negative, you must change the possitive adverb "también" and you will have to use another one like "tampoco" in order to show an opposite meaning of the sentece. You also have in the affirmative sentence the word "todos" which means "everybody" you can change this word and use a negative word like "ningún" or "ninguno/a" as the following example:

- A mí tampoco me gusta visitar ningún lugar turístico.

If you use this version you must change the suffixes in the words "lugar-es" and "turístico-s" in order to have concordancia between the adverb "ningún" (which is in its singular form) and the nouns lugar and turístico.
