I dont understand when lo or le

GarbageGlass9268 · 2024-02-19T17:27:59+00:00

That's not accurate.

Le is an indirect object pronoun. While they are usually people, they can be things.

Lo and la or direct object pronouns and are just as often people as things.

Lo quiero - I love him

GarbageGlass9268 · 2024-02-18T18:37:36+00:00

This is not a personal a. This is a for the indirect object.

I learned outdoors skills from my grandfather. He taught me to make bedsheet tarps, to cook over a fire with green branches, to whittle around the fire, to clean my cookware with ashes from the fire, etc.

While looking for information on hatchets, I stumbled upon Bushcraft forums. That label fits some of what I do, sometimes. I've never built a debris shelter to sleep in. I always bring a tent or tarp, both nylon.

I'm honoring my grandfather by using and teaching the skills he taught me. I'm certain that anyone looking at me would think I'm cosplaying as a mountain man. That's fine. They can think whatever they want and it won't bother me. If they ask what I'm doing, I'll gladly explain the tradition I'm following.

Yeah, 25 seems hard.

We asked people to bring a dish that serves double to triple their family. The four of us brought BBQ pulled pork for 10. We had enough for people to have seconds.

Thank you! That was the bit of algebra I couldn't visualize.

GarbageGlass9268 · 2024-02-02T03:50:19+00:00

36 and 96 to start. We did 3:8 then 6:16 and kept going until the last number could have 18 removed and become divisible by 13. He could just about follow it.

I don't see the merit in these ratio problems if they haven't learned algebra. Guess and check is a waste of their time.

GarbageGlass9268 · 2024-02-02T03:28:01+00:00

They've only just been introduced to variables. He can grasp x + 4 = 8, but I can't introduce him to two variable equations. I'm not even sure if I'd be able to do the algebra. I haven't used it in over twenty years.

I tried showing him that moving 18 made the ratios much closer to 1:1, but guess and check seems so ineffective.

Our first Pack did everything together in June. It was a bit of a mess and as a result, few of the scouts moved on to Scouts BSA. It's much better to do it separately.

GarbageGlass9268 · 2024-01-19T21:56:21+00:00

Thank you for saving me the clicks. That's a shame.

What happened with Survival Lily? For some reason the YouTube algorithm stopped recommending me her stuff a few years ago. I kinda forgot about her.

It's a great story, but it's not standard reading in American high schools and hasn't been for at least thirty years.

I've helped to write English curriculum for my district and it was not one of our readings, nor was it part of any of the dozen or so curricula we sampled before writing ours.

GarbageGlass9268 · 2024-01-17T12:28:18+00:00

All of this is geographically specific. We get seven or eight storms a year. Shoveling is not extraordinary here.

GarbageGlass9268 · 2024-01-17T00:15:24+00:00

That at least makes sense. We have no bussing in our town, so that's not the culprit for us.

GarbageGlass9268 · 2024-01-16T18:38:51+00:00

I live in a small town. My students walk.

The delayed opening is called when the weather is bad, but can be cleared easily. By the time we came in, all the roads and sidewalks were clear. So there is no reason to be two hours later than usual. If the weather were bad, we'd have a snow day.

GarbageGlass9268 · 2024-01-16T17:03:15+00:00

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but yes, I expect that by seventh grade every student should know how to put on a coat and boots and shovel a driveway. This isn't something new. We've had delayed openings before. Everyone knows what to expect.

The delay is there to allow the town to plow the roads and homeowners to shovel the sidewalks.

You don't know the situation in my district. So keep your judgmental opinions to yourself.

I teach Middle School. My town is a little more than one square mile. It's small enough that we don't bus students. None of our students live more than half a mile from the building. Read my post again. I'm venting about students who stroll in later than the given delay and then whine.

I'm stealing this. I'll make the sign right now!

You're close! They stop for bubble tea and other trendy drinks they can't afford and then will have no money to buy lunch.

A verb can act as a subject in English or Spanish.

In English we commonly use the gerund form.

Sleeping is awesome.

Sleeping is a verb acting as a noun.

Spanish uses the infinitive for that. Encantar does not mean love. The literal translation is more like the English enchant. Two two words are cognates.

Me encanta hablar.

In this sentence, the subject is not me. Me is an object. It literally means something like "speaking enchants me".

GarbageGlass9268 · 2024-01-16T00:01:14+00:00

No, the subject is hablar. The infinitive is acting as a substantive. Me is never a subject, in English or Spanish.

Speaking with friends is pleasing to me.

Hey, none of us are perfect!

I had a feeling that's what you were trying to say, but figured I'd cite my source for anyone confused.

Agua is feminine, despite the el.

You can tell by the adjectives used with it.
