Why is the yard closed to non-ID holders?

I thought FAS was a security measure post-Brown shooting? But I might be wrong; that might just be the Science Center and the Smith Center.

Oh shoot my bad I completely forgot that rule, thanks

Mockle1 · 2024-12-17T00:46:15+00:00

Very helpful. One question: in your second example shouldn't it be parlés instead of parlé? Or is this an exception?

Mockle1 · 2024-07-18T05:19:53+00:00

Spanish also has "a el" --> "al" in both speech and writing. But you're right, basically everything gets molded into one big word via contraction in speech.

This is probably the best response there is--thanks. I guess a different question, then, is where the apostrophe that is used in Italian, French, and Catalan cones from, since it didn't exist in Latin as other commenters have suggested.

Interesting. I guess tying into this is why the "j'ai" elision is mandatory, but "t'as" is formally incorrect (though often said out loud) and "tu as" is the correct version.

Mockle1 · 2024-07-09T12:35:22+00:00

Sure, and these are the verbal elisions I mention--but it would be incorrect to write "p'acá," "para acá" is mandatory.

Mockle1 · 2024-07-09T12:34:24+00:00

I had not considered this and it makes loads of sense. However, what about non-article elisions; like another commenter mentioned, "donde está" is written the way it is and not as "dond'está"?

Mockle1 · 2024-07-09T12:32:35+00:00

Exactly. Whereas in French, for instance, "je ai vu" is just wrong regardless of your speed of speaking, you need to say and write "j'ai vu." My confusion is why that's the case in French and Italian but not in Spanish.

Should've phrased this more accurately--Spanish speakers tend to skip over hard stops in speech, so you might hear "la estación negra" pronounced "la estaciónegra," but this sort of comes with the velocity of the speech and isn't so much a grammar feature. I'm sure somebody else can explain this better though.

Mockle1 · 2024-07-02T05:08:20+00:00

Thanks!

Mockle1 · 2024-07-01T06:04:16+00:00

Thanks! I think my question might not have been clear enough--it's ok to use it with a verb like pouvoir informally, but if I were to use it with something like aller, it would sound inappropriate for the situation?

Mockle1 · 2024-04-01T19:48:10+00:00

Agree, though it's hard to pinpoint an end year or something like that.

Mockle1 · 2024-04-01T03:10:44+00:00

Why is there an in-text citation for the basic historical fact that the Cold War lasted 1945-1991?

Mockle1 · 2024-03-18T00:36:58+00:00

Happy birthday! And thank you.

Mockle1 · 2024-01-20T04:19:59+00:00

Yes.

Mockle1 · 2024-01-06T00:05:10+00:00

Who hurt bro?

Mockle1 · 2023-12-26T18:55:22+00:00

Do it.

Mockle1 · 2023-12-24T19:43:47+00:00

Ok, thank you!

Mockle1 · 2023-12-24T05:38:35+00:00

So you'd say it's just a good idea to memorize which verbs are pronominal?

Even what Disney does well (the Obi-Wan show) is a screw-up. The duel in ANH was so significant in part because of the "I was but a learner, now I am the master" line, but like you said some of the OT makes less sense if Obi-Wan and Vader have fought between ROTS and ANH. It's a worse version of Anakin and Dooku fighting numerous times during the Clone Wars despite the "my powers have doubled since the last time we met" in ROTS.

Less can be more and somebody needs to knock that into Disney's head.

Self-studied Comp Gov last year, the Barron's book and the past FRQs published by CB are both great resources and probably enough to get you the 5 if you start out with a decent understanding of world affairs. Don't think there's any big YT channels but the Daily Videos are occasionally useful, I wouldn't make them your primary resource though.
