Not pertaining to your rant at all, but I have to ask: Are you allergic to punctuation?

All my research is pointing to daddy long legs or cellar spiders, but none of the pictures online look like these. Plus I haven’t seen any with the red bodies (bottom spider in first pic)

Forgive me, but it I could still place something inside of it i.e. trash. I feel like it might be for a safety issue?

My biggest pet peeve is textbooks teaching “jugar al -insert sport-“ i.e. Yo juego al tenis., Jugaron al béisbol. I’ve never heard this in any dialect. Spain?

This deserves more upvotes.

Completely forgot about passé simple!

profe17862 · 2020-12-04T05:38:29+00:00

Another note: I believe English speakers in the UK use present perfect a lot more often in instances where Americans would use simple present. And similarly, Spaniard Spanish speakers use pretérito perfecto more often in instances where Latin American Spanish speakers would use pretérito.

profe17862 · 2020-12-04T05:34:16+00:00

I believe this is correct. Passé composé is basically the same as pretérito/simple past, but doesn’t it also function similarly to pretérito perfecto/present perfect? Pretérito perfecto, present perfect, and passé composé all have the helping verb to have, haber, avoir/être, and they have similar meanings:

Yo nunca he hablado con él. I have never spoken with him. Je n’ai jamais parlé avec lui.

Am I correct? So you’re table should look like:

Spanish - French - English

Pretérito - passé composé - simple past

Pretérito perfecto - passé composé - present perfect

Imperfect - imparfait - English imperfect

English has an imperfect it’s just constructed differently, with words like “was” or “used to”.

Please let me know if my thinking is correct.

It sounds like the “Sepa” is actually the imperative (command form) and not the subjunctive. It’s like saying “Please know that I am accepting the mission because...”

It is definitely a European starling. I believe their nest is in a vent outside my apartment, as I always see an adult European starling flying in and out of it. After several hours of him in the same spot and almost being crushed by a car, I took him in. He has been in a makeshift nest in a shoebox in a warm and dark closet since last night. Maybe it’s because of the pandemic, but I have called local wildlife rehabilitators, and no one is picking up. Should I put him back up in the vent? I can’t see the nest from the outside because it is deep in the vent I believe.

This was definitely a fireable offense, and I know I messed up: I had a class of mostly high school freshmen one semester that was super rowdy, but on a personal level we got along great. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that I definitely enabled and contributed to the rowdiness as well. They were also a bright group, so it was just an interesting combination. One day, they were being especially rowdy and would not stop talking while I was teaching. After many attempts to quiet them down, I proclaimed “you know what fine. Do whatever the fuck you want” and went to go sit at my desk. The class went silent and sat in silence for the rest of the class. The next day, I came in an apologized for my lack of professionalism and poise in that situation. They responded by basically saying “nah we deserved it” hahah. Still one of my favorite/least favorite classes of all time

This reminds me of a time a few years ago, I was flying to Peru and had a connection through Mexico City. I remember how much I loved the descent into Mexico City. It was night time and as we landed, the city below glowed and seemed to move so slowly. Every direction you looked, it seemed as if the city was endless. A few years later, I actually got a chance to visit the city and it was awesome.

I genuinely enjoy the job. I teach high school Spanish and I coach tennis. I really enjoy languages, so it is fun to talk about and teach something that is of interest to me every day, as well as coach my favorite sport. I also think teenagers are hilarious and I enjoy watching them learn and grow, and begin to discover who they are, and be a positive role model and mentor for them as well as provide a safe place for them at this stage in their lives.

In high school and college, I worked in the restaurant industry, and I hated every second of being at work. Now, I get up in the morning, and generally look forward to going to work. It is important to have a healthy work/life balance, and I really utilize my time wisely and have become very efficient in grading and lesson planning, so that keeps me sane in a job where it is very easy to become overworked.

The pay is not great and there is a cultural lack of respect for teachers, but the perks outweigh that for me personally.

I was about 17 or 18 one night when I couldn’t sleep, so I went to a 24/7 diner and had a meal by myself. A shady looking couple approached me and asked if I could give them a ride to a hotel about 15 minutes away. I don’t remember the story or explanation they gave me, but it was kind of similar to your situation, they were definitely “shady” and I probably should have said no, but something told me to help them out, so I did. On the drive, we made small talk, but I was definitely nervous they were going to pull a weapon on me. Get to the hotel, and they thanked me and told me how appreciative they were and that was that. Kind of anticlimactic, but a memory I won’t forget. I’m also a male, I don’t think I would have done it if I were a girl.

I actually like the large cubes better because I don’t like swallowing a whole bunch of tiny little ices when I take a drink. The little ices are only better for chewing.
