TO GET THE WRONG…EQUIVOCARSE DE…
This is a really important expression “y significa; equivocarse de algo”. For example; I got the wrong road, or the wrong street. I got the wrong number. We can use this expressions also with others verbs; I bought the wrong type of rice. We can use a lot of, a lot of verbs. So we look at a few examples then, starting with the following:
Sorry, I got the wrong number again!
You’re always getting the wrong number.

MIXED CONDITIONALS
I’m okay, a little bit on edge: cómo algo nervioso
Whay? Because we’re going to look at something which is extremely complex, another worry because if you haven't got to grips with the basic three conditionals, I would strongly advise you to skip this track.
Let’s go then an over review, (hagamos un repaso más): First IN THE FUTURE AND ITS CONSEQUENSE IN THE FUTURE.
If it rains tomorrow I will take my umbrella.
THE SECOND CONDITIONAL:
CONDITION IN THE PRESENT AND ITS CONSEQUENCE IN THE PRESENT
If it rained every day, I would always take my umbrella
THE THIRD CONDITIONAL:
A CONDITION IN THE PAST AND ITS CONSEQUENCE IN THE PAST
If it had rained yesterday, I would have taken my umbrella.
But today we’re going to look at, something which it’s a little more complex and I said we’re gonna look at mixed conditional.
THE CONDITION IS FROM DE PRESENT CONDITIONAL AND THE CONSEQUECE IS FROM THE PAST CONDITIONAL.
If I knew her, I would have invited her to the party. Si la conociera (ahora)…
If I had more experience, I would have got the job. Si tuviera (ahora)…
If I spoke fluent English, they would have promoted last year or in passive voice:

Would you have jumped if you were twenty years younger? ¿Habrías saltado si tuvieras 30 años menos?
If I were a politician I wouldn’t have said that. Si fuese un politico…
Now let’s look at the same thing but the other way round that’s to say; A CONDITION IN THE PAST AND ITS CONSEQUENCE IN THE PRESENT. So; what do we do? We simply take the structure from the condition of the past conditional, “if I had known, if I had gone, if I had seen” and its consequence or result close from the present conditional “I wouldn’t do, I wouldn’t go, I wouldn’t be” for example:
If I had been born in Poland, I would speak fluent Polish. Si hubiese nacido…
If you had cleaned your shoes with polish last night, you would look more formal. Si hubieses limpiado…abrillantador <polish>…parecerías…
I wouldn’t smoke today if I had been operated on a month ago.

If my ex-boss hadn’t joined the company I wouldn’t be Managing Director today. Si mi exjefe no hubiese entrado en la empresa, yo no sería director general hoy.
ABSTRACT NOUNS
In English when we’re talking about abstract nouns, abstract concepts, we don’t use the article. We don’t say “the peace”, “the justice”. We say simply “peace” and “justice”, for example:
Is long-term peace really viable in the Middle East? ¿Es factible una paz duradera en Oriente Medio?
Pride is his worst enemy. El orgullo…
War is something most people in the western world haven’t experienced. La guerra es algo que la mayoría de la gente no ha vivido en Occidente.
There is a fine line between failure and success.
CONCEPTOS CONCRETOS
Now, when we find these same concepts in specific context, for example when we’re talking about “la paz que hay en el desierto”, “the peace you can find in the desert” then we use the article “the”, but only when we being absolutely specific about this concept.
I love the peace you find up in the mountains. Me encanta la paz que encuentras en las…

The success of the film was undeniable….innegable

The love I feel for you is burning me up….me está consumiendo
It’s easier to control anger than embarrassment….la ira que la vergüenza
Thirst is worse than hunger. La sed es peor que el hambre
TO GET SOMETHING vs. TO MANAGE TO DO SOMETHING
In English there are two different verbs, that we use to express the idea “conseguir”, and is very simply to establish when we use one and when we use the other; to get something and to manage to do something.
Let’s start then with the verb TO GET
He got the last two tickets left. Consiguió…que quedaban
Get the latest hits on this great compilation album! <compeleison>
They got a massive discount in the end. Consiguieron…enorme. <massííf>
Did she get what she asked for? ¿Consiguió lo que pedía?
Did they get the books they were looking for? Or;
Did they get the books they were after?
TO BE AFTER SOMETHING is to be looking for.
Let’s change now then, and look at the verb TO MANAGE
She manages to see her parents once a fortnight….una vez por quincena.
I managed to finish the report in time for the meeting. <manichit> a tiempo
We managed to talk to the person in charge of the project.

Did you manage to finish the accounts last week? ¿Terminaste la contabilidad…?
Did you manage to repair your watch in the end?
EL 1er. VERBO MODAL; CAN

Yes, I can. –Can I speak Spanish? –Can you ride a horse? No, I can. –Can you ride a bicycle? Yes, I can. –Can your parents speak Russian?

LET vs. ALLOW
NO CONFUNDIR “TO LEAVE” INTRANSITIVO (sin complemento) que significa “SALIR” con “TO LEAVE” TRANSITIVO que significa “DEJAR” en sentido abandonar sinónimo “TO LET”
How is it going? I’m full of beans.
Today we’re going to look at two different verbs that we use for when you in Spanish use the verb “permitir” okay? On the one hand we have the verb “to let” and on the other the verb “to allow”. What’s the difference between these two verbs? Basically the difference is the one take the full infinitive and the other just takes the basic verb, okay? For example we say; let me do something but allow me to do something, okay. Be carefully because the typical mistake the Spaniards make when they use the verb “let” is; “let me to do it, let me to finish” which sounds awful.
Okay I’m gonna give you some much sentences now in Spanish and I want you to translate them firstly using the verb let and then using the verb allow. For example:
He let me go / He allowed me to go. Me permitió que me fuera.
No cantes victoria! In English we say; don’t count your chickens!
They let me go in without paying
They allowed me to go in without paying.
Me permitieron entrar sin pagar. (WITHOUT + VERB + ING)

El verbo se expresa siempre en tercera persona del singular con “s” final para el presente.

Who allows you to say such things? ¿Quién te permite decir semejantes cosas?

Who allowed Peter to organise…?
Let me change the subject. Allow me to change the subject….que cambie de tema
ALONE AND LONELY
Many Spaniards get confuse between the use “alone” and “lonely”. Alone means “solo; sin otros”, for example; Lee lives alone. Lonely on the other hand means “solo de soledad”.
Lonely: Significa “solo” de soledad. Suele acompañar al verbo “to feel”.

I’d rather be alone if you don’t mind. Preferiría estar solo si no te importa.

Let’s turn our attention now to THE WORD LONELY which means; “solo” en el sentido de soledad.

In English when you leave home when you go to the university, when you leave home for example to get a job, we say to fly the nest, not to abandon the nest.
I felt a bit lonely when you were away. Me sentía un poco solo…estabas fuera.
When all my friends and family about; I never feel lonely.
Sometimes she feels lonely now that she no longer works. A veces se siente sola ahora que ya no trabaja.
ON YOUR OWN AND BY YOURSELF
Okay. Let’s look now, two more expressions that also means “solo”. ON YOUR OWN “cuando haces algo por tu cuenta, sin ayuda” y decimos; on your own, on my own, on his own, on her own, siempre con el adj. possessive.

If there’s any chance. I’d rather do it on my own. Si hay posibilidad, preferiría…
Did you do it on your own? ¿Lo hiciste solo?

Significa “solo” de hacer algo sin ayuda.
Did they work it out by themselves? ¿Lo averiguaron solos?

BEFORE DOING-AFTER DOING-WHILST DOING-ON DOING AND PRIOR TO DOING
Today we’re going to look at a particular use of the word or the proposition “before” when I do something for example before doing something else.
“I locked the front door before leaving home” (cerré la puerta principal antes de salir de casa).
For example:
I took my shoes off before entering the mosque…de entrar en la mezquita
I dug a hole before planting the seed.
He always shaves before having a shower….se afeíta antes de ducharse
I read the contract before signing. Leí el contrato antes de firmarlo
I switched the light off before going to sleep. Apagué la luz antes de irme a dormir
To fall asleep; dormirse en situaciones inapropiadas.
To go to asleep; ir a la cama
AFTER DOING
Now, the same change happens when we use “after”. Okay, this no change the subject; I did something after doing something else. For example:
I went for a walk after reading the Sunday papers.
I had a nap after checking in at the hotel. Me eché una siesta después de llegar…
A kip, a nap; significan lo mismo
I had a few beers with my colleagues after finishing work. Tomamos unas pocas …con mis compañeros después de salir del trabajo.

WHILST DOING…
Let’s move now to another proposition; whilst. And again, when this no change the subject, if you do something whilst doing something else.

I explained the situation to my wife whilst shaving.
Siempre decimos; to explain something to someone
I cut my hand whilst trying to open a tin of tomatoes. Me corté la mano mientras intentaba abrir una lata de tomates
Tomatoes or tomatoes.
Okay. Let’s look at another example of the use of the gerund and it is the expression;
ON DOING SOMETHING
This is the equivalent expression of; al ocurrir algo o al hacer algo.
Al darme cuenta por ejemplo sería; ON RELEASING.
ON DOING SOMETHING; traducimos “Al” por “On” y, lo que es menos común por “Upon”. Seguidos del gerundio
On seeing their reaction, we decided to make a quick exit. Al ver su reacción decidimos salir pitando
To make a quick exit; is a set phrases which means; salir pitando cuando has metido la pata; when you’ve put your foot in it. To make a quick exit!
On arriving at the hotel, we were told that there was a problem with our booking. Al llegar al hotel, nos dijeron que había un problema con nuestra reserva.
Cuando decimos “nos dijeron, se nos dijo” sin identificar el sujeto del verbo solemos utilizar la voz pasiva; we were told.
On reaching the summit, they planted the Union Jack. Al alcanzar la cumber, plantaron la bandera británica.
But the way! The Union Jack is the way that we prefer to The British Flag, okay? And it’s identically. Americans prefer to them “National flag” as “The Stars and Stripes”
PRIOR TO DOING; suena más formal que “before doing” y es bastante utilizada aunque menos común.
Now, just before we finish this section, I want to refer to an old determinate way of saying “before doing something” and that is “prior to doing something”. Okay; I did this prior to doing that. It’s quite formal expression but nevertheless it’s one that's used relatively frequently.
You must hand in your keys to reception prior to leaving the hotel. Debes entregar las llaves en recepción antes de dejar el hotel
Prior to making a decision, you should research all the possibilities. Antes de tomar una decisión, deberías investigar todas las posibilidades
UNTIL vs. UP TO
Everybody learnt that “until” means “hasta”, what it’s absolutely right, but “hasta” is not always to be translated as “until”, okay. Sometimes we need to say “up to”.
Let’s focus on “until” first table.
UNTIL means “HASTA”, hasta un punto en el tiempo; until Friday, until next week, until 2020, etc, etc…And then in a minute we’ll look at “up to”. For example:
You’ve got until next Friday to finish the project. Tienes hasta…
I won’t go until you arrive. No me iré hasta que no llegues
En un context future el verbo que sigue a “until” se expresa en presente simple.
This is again a point in the future.
He will stay there until he dies. Se quedará allí hasta que se muera
I won’t know until the results are published. <páablisht> No lo sabré hasta que se publiquen los resultados (los resultados sean publicados).
Let’s look now “UP TO”. “Up to” is the way we translate “hasta” when in Spanish you say; hasta un punto físico, also when we talking about a period time. For example; he had to wait up to, ten minutes.
Sometimes I have to wait for up to, 30 minutes….hasta 30…

SLIGHTLY AND CONSIDERALY - A BIT AND QUITE A BIT
Ligeramente y considerablemente - Un poco y bastante”.
ADVERBIOS PARA DEFINIR COMPARTIVOS
Okay. Let’s look at some of these adverbs then and hopefully by the end of this exercise, you'll start to use this type of adverb on an irregular basis.
SLIGHTLY means; ligeramente. I feel slightly better. This adverb is use very often in construction with comparatives. Delante del comparativo; slightly better, slightly bigger, slightly older… Okay?

Esas gafas de diseño…considerablemente más que…de marca blanca
This exercise is considerably harder than I thought….más difícil de lo que pensé
The project took considerably longer than I expected….tardó…más tiempo de lo previsto.
Okay, let’s move now to “AT BIT”. We look at the different between “a bit” and “quite a bite”. They look very similar but the different is considerably. If we say; I’m a bit stronger than I use to be. Significa un poco sólo. Si digo; I’m quite a bit stronger than I use to be. Significa bastante más fuerte.
Con “A BIT”
I’m a bit happier now I know the truth….un poco más contento…
