| + | Prepositions | ||
| + | |||
| + | Prepositions in Spanish can be a little bit tricky. Please always check for adequate collocations, for instance in “Diccionario español de construcciones preposicionales” by Emile Slager.\\ | ||
| + | In Fundación del Español Urgente, there are really interesting entries and recommendation in relation to the use of prepositions and common doubts or mistakes. Take for instance the following ones:\\ | ||
| + | https://www.fundeu.es/recomendacion/estar-dispuesto-a-no-estar-dispuesto-de/ https://www.fundeu.es/recomendacion/no-dudar-en-infinitivo-en-lugar-de-no-dudar-de-infinitivo/\\ | ||

| + | |||
| + | Pronouns | ||
| + | |||
| + | Try to use pronouns in a natural and simple way that sounds natural and fresh. It is not necessary to stick to the source usage.\\ | ||
| + | Example:\\ | ||
| + | EN: Your sales representative will call you and help you with your account set up.\\ | ||
| + | ES: El representante de ventas te llamará y te ayudará con la configuración de tu cuenta,\\ | ||
| + | |||
| + | Possessives | ||
| + | |||
| + | Take a look at the following possessive pronouns that sometimes generate certain confusion:\\ | ||
| + | Examples:\\ | ||
| + | Este coche es mío. Este es mi coche.\\ | ||
| + | Este coche es el mío y ese es el suyo. Este es mi coche, ¿dónde está el tuyo?\\ | ||
| + | |||
| + | Verb tense | ||
| + | |||
| + | Please use verb tenses naturally and as per common usage. Please take special care with the correct use of gerund, or verb combinations, such as:\\ | ||
| + | Me pidió que viaje/viajara a Santo Domingo. Si llueve, me quedaré mirando la tele.\\ | ||
| + | Quiero que haga calor.\\ | ||
| + | No me indicaron que tuviera/tuviese que llamar.\\ | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | Passive voice | ||
| + | |||
| + | Passive voice tends to be omitted in translation in order to foster clarity and readability. Passive constructions are not so frequently used as English does.\\ | ||
| + | Example:\\ | ||
| + | Your comments will be used by the quality team. El equipo de calidad usará tus comentarios.\\ | ||
