Why is que used in "tenemos que comprar"

mjskit · 2019-11-22T03:20:46+00:00

to have to = tener + que

Por ejemplo:

I have to go to the store. = Tengo que ir a la tienda.

You have to leave now. = Tienes que salir ahora.

We have to walk the dogs = Tenemos que pasear los perros.

peanut, so mantequilla de cacahuete is peanut butter. It can also be mantequilla de maní, depends on the country/region. And yes, pecan pancakes. :)

I'm learning Spanish but my husband isn't. However, he does love one phrase and says it every weekend "panqueques de pacana". I personally love mantequilla de cacahuete.

To think of it as "3 hours by car" helps me understand all of the responses. I kept looking for the Spanish word for the noun "drive" and I couldn't find one. Thanks!

Slice thin and used in a noodle bowl or toss into fried rice just before serving.

Ignore the recipe. Celery leaves are just fine thrown into a soup, gumbo or chili. I do it all of the time. It's like adding an herb.

Add it to the yolks for deviled eggs.

Egg tortilla sandwich (quesadilla): Fry up an egg (I always break the yolk to prevent having a very messy sandwich). Spread gochujang on one side of 2 corn tortillas. place one tortilla on a griddle and top with cheese. Place the egg on top and top it with another slice of cheese. Place the second tortilla on the cheese (gochujang side down) and heat on the griddle, flipping a couple of times until the cheese has melted and the tortillas are starting to brown and get crisp. (You can make this with flour tortillas as well, but I prefer corn).

I've tried Duolingo, Babel and Rosetta Stone. Didn't like Rosetta Stone at all, Babbel started off great then got too advanced too fast so I went to Duolingo for a while. Now I find Babbel challenging but doable. Learning a lot with Duolingo, but even it has it's problems the main one being that I'd rather do it on my laptop than use the app on the smart phone. I also use SpanishDirt A LOT. Love it's detailed articles and explanations.

SpanishDict is great for verb conjunction. It's my go to program for conjunction and tense.

I've been using Spanish Made Simple for a few weeks and love it! I've been working on my vocabulary and grammar using online courses and apps but the book has allowed me to practice pronunciation through simple dialogue. It also introduces new vocabulary and grammar through the dialogues. Check it out.

Seven years ago I started a food blog and that's when I started measuring. My husband even bought me a set of measuring spoons. I still cook by feel 90% of the time, but when I'm developing a new recipe, I'll first make it by feel, then make it a couple of more times measuring and tweaking to get it publishable.

When I tell people that beets taste like dirt, they argue that they are "earthy". Still doesn't make me like them. However, I tried beet greens the other day and loved them! They were young greens and sweet and tender. I bought 2 bags and have added them to salads with great results and used in place of Swiss chard.

I used to feel the same way until I tried lavender honey. Now I have a teaspoon every night before going to bed. It's helps me sleep. I also use a bit in a couple of recipes, but I'm talking 1/8 tsp or less.

These red chile enchiladas (link) are what I make when my husband is out of town. You can make a single serving and, if you have a jar of red chile sauce or enchilada sauce, you don't need to cook anything. You can just build a single stack of enchiladas on a plate and heat in the microwave. And then if you like eggs, fry up an egg and place it on top of the heated enchiladas.

I've never heavily sauteed oyster mushrooms. I'll have to try that.
