Dear valued member(s),

Please remember to use accents.

How to Type Accented Characters

We strongly recommend that you learn how to type these characters on your
computer. For most of you, typing accented characters will be very easy.

Windows 3.x
Windows 95, 98 and beyond
Windows XP
Mac
Window Users - general information

You have two basic options: type in cryptic codes or set up your keyboard
differently. Typing in cryptic codes is cumbersome and frustrating. Usually,
setting up your keyboard is the best way to go.

Setting up your keyboard actually means re-configuring your system so that it is
easy to use your keyboard to create accented characters. "Re-configuring your
system" may sound ominous, but it is really quite simple.

Windows 3.11

Close all of your programs.
Shut your system down.
Re-start your system.
Click on the "Control Panel" icon.
Click on the "Keyboard" icon.
For Keyboard Layout choose "International - US" from the menu.
You may be required to insert one of your Windows diskettes or CD-ROM.
When finished, shut down your system.
Restart your system.
Read the instructions for "Using the U.S. - International Keyboard" below.

Window 95-98 and beyond

Close all of your programs.
Shut your system down.
Re-start your system.
Open Control Panel. (Start - Settings - Control Panel)
Double-click "Keyboard" icon.
Click on "Language" tab.
Click on "Properties" button.
Choose "United States - International" from the menu.
Click on "OK" button.
You may be required to insert your Windows CD-ROM.
When finished, shut down your system.
Restart your system.
Read the instructions for "Using the U.S. - International Keyboard" below.

Windows XP

Log On
Click the Start button
Click on Control Panel
Click Regional and Language Options - a new window will pop up
Click the Languages tab
Click on the Details button
Click the Add button - a new window will pop up
Select United States-International (keyboard layout menu)
Click OK
Click Apply

Read the instructions for "Using the U.S. - International Keyboard" below.
Note: You will now have a keyboard icon on the taskbar (usually on the right
side). To switch between keyboard layouts click the keyboard icon on the task
bar and choose which layout you want to use. Changing the keyboard layout will
only affect the log on profile used. No other users will be affected.

Using the U.S. - International Keyboard

If you followed the above directions carefully, your keyboard will now react
slightly differently than it did before. First of all, notice that if you strike
the single apostrophe (') key, nothing happens. To type the single apostrophe
now, you must strike the single apostrophe key and then strike the space bar.
When you strike the spacebar, the apostrophe will appear.

The next thing to note is that the quotes (") key behaves the same way as the
apostrophe key. You must first strike the quotes key and then strike the space
bar in order to create the (") symbol. These two minor inconveniences are more
than made up for by the ease with which you can now type the special characters.

To type the special characters, two keystrokes are required. To type the á, you
need only strike the apostrophe key and then the letter a. The other characters
are just as easy:

á = ' + a
é = ' + e
í = ' + i
ó = ' + o
ú = ' + u
ñ = ~ + n
ü = " + u
To type the special punctuation characters, you need to hold down on the Alt key
while you strike the appropriate punctuation mark. On some keyboards, only one
of the two Alt keys will work for this.

¡ = Alt (hold down) + !
¿ = Alt (hold down) + ?
Using Cryptic Codes

If, for some reason, you don't want to change your keyboard, you can always type
in the troublesome cryptic codes. Using this arcane system, the following codes
apply:

á = Alt + 0225
é = Alt + 0233
í = Alt + 0237
ó = Alt + 0243
ú = Alt + 0250
ñ = Alt + 0241
ü = Alt + 0252

¡ = Alt + 0161
¿ Alt + 0191

When using this utterly out-dated system, there are two important things to
remember. First, when you type in the numbers, some keyboards require that you
use the "numeric keypad" located to the side, rather than the numbers along the
top. Second, on some keyboards, only one of the two Alt keys will work for this.

Mac Users

To get accents on the Mac, hold down the Option key, and while holding it down,
type the letter e; then release those keys and type the letter that you want the
accent to appear on:

á = Opt + e, then a
é = Opt + e, then e
í = Opt + e, then i
ó = Opt + e, then o
ú = Opt + e, then u
For the ñ, hold down the Option key while you type the n; release and type n
again.

ñ = Opt + n, then n
To place the diaeresis over the u, hold down the Option key while pressing the u
key; release and type u again.

ü = Opt + u, then u
The inverted punctuation marks are achieved as follows:

¡ = Opt + 1
¿ Opt + shift + ?



Below you will find a list of alt key codes.


Alt key codes are great if you like to code by hand and can save a lot of time
once you memorize a few. Hold down the alt key and use the number pad on the far
right of your keyboard to type out the 4-character code.  When you release the
alt key, the character will appear.

Example: Alt-0169 = ©   or   Alt-0174 = ®  or  Alt-0153 = ™


Alt-0128  € Alt-0252  ü Alt-0129   Alt-0130  ‚ Alt-0131  ƒ
Alt-0132  „ Alt-0253  ý Alt-0133  … Alt-0134  † Alt-0135  ‡

Hola Rosario,

Me parece que los phrasal verbs son todos separables y pueden ser tanto transitivos como intransitivos. Tendrás que aprender tu misma los que son transitivos y los que son intransitivos.

En cuanto a tu lista, te doy algunos significados:

cheer up - animar

let down - fallar, fraudar, hacer quedar mal a alguien

stick up for - apoyar, respaldar

drift apart - separarse(paulatinamente)

make up - fabricar una historia o un cuento, maquillarse, o hacer las paces

talk over - discutir

get along with llevarse, bien con alguien, progresar con algo

put up with - aguantar, tolerar, soportar

get over - recuperar de una enfermedad, un accidente, un fallecimiento, etc.

run into encontrarse, tropezarse con alguien por casualidad

Hay muchos verbos de este tipo en inglés.

Espero haberte servido, pero no dudes en preguntar si hay algo que no entiendes.

Saludos

Ian Roberts

In formal style such definitions should be recast to eliminate is when, either by supplying generic term that may be modified by a restrictive adjective clause (A dilemma is a situation in which you don't know which way to turn) or by making the when-clause adverbial (You are in a dilemma when you don't know which way to turn).

Muchísimas gracias por tu explicación, no sabes cómo tenía la duda y por lo mismo a muchos dejé con la duda, ya que hasta de nick me puse la pregunta en el messenger.

Dime una cosa, ¿eres mexicano? ¿de dónde?

Bueno pues aquí seguimos en contacto y en serio que gracias por ello y te agradezco por los demás a quienes había dejado con la duda.

Hola

Alguna vez un ingeniero experto en telefonía me contó la historia. Es muy simple.

Cuando se introdujo el teléfono a México los ingenieros responsables de las pruebas acordaron dos claves para calificar el funcionamiento y la calidad de la línea. Las claves eran: bueno o malo. Entonces siempre se contestaba a un correcto funcionamiento con la palabra "bueno" y se quedó la costumbre.

Hola

Alguna vez un ingeniero experto en telefonía me contó la historia. Es muy simple.

Cuando se introdujo el teléfono a México los ingenieros responsables de las pruebas acordaron dos claves para calificar el funcionamiento y la calidad de la línea. Las claves eran: bueno o malo. Entonces siempre se contestaba a un correcto funcionamiento con la palabra "bueno" y se quedó la costumbre.

POSITION OF ADJECTIVES

Although descriptive adjectives in Spanish usually follow the noun they modify, descriptive and other adjectives can also appear before nouns in certain cases.

When they express an inherent characteristic of the noun that is known to all and does not add any new information about the noun.

           la blanca nieve

           white snow

           el tímido cordero

           the timid lamb

           una olorosa rosa

           a fragrant rose

When they express a subjective judgement of the speaker. Bueno,

     malo, and their comparatives, mejor and peor fall into this category.

           Tenemos que leer una large novela.

           We have to read a long novel.

           Es el peor libro que leímos.

           It's the worst book that we read.

           Preparon una buena comida.

           They prepared a good meal.



      3. Adjectives that express quantity precede the noun:

           mucho

           poco

           bastante

           suficiente

           cuánto

           alguno

           ambos

           varios

           Alberto siempre tiene muchas ideas.

           Albert always has a lot of ideas.

         No ganan suficiente dinero.

          They don't earn enough money.

    4. After exclamations with ¡Qué!

          ¡Qúe mala suerte!

          What bad luck!

          ¡Qúe hermosa playa!

          What a beautiful square!

NOTE:

All the previous information comes from textbooks. I usually give my sources, but right now I am too lazy to do a bibliographic entry. Sorry. Maybe later.

Sue

Sometimes, Microsoft Word has a mind of its own.  I never really know
what is going to happen when I send in a lesson.  I think I am typing
in one font, and then when the lesson is sent it appears in another
font.  I type something with a certain spacing, and when the lesson
is sent, another spacing appears.

I don't know why these things happen, but I just want you to know
that the first copy is usually spaced correctly, although I am known
to sometimes make errors in my typing.

To all of you:  Have a great week.  Each one of you is special and
tremendously important!!

When they express an inherent characteristic of the noun that is known to all and does not add any new information about the noun.

           la blanca nieve

           white snow

           el tímido cordero

           the timid lamb

           una olorosa rosa

           a fragrant rose

When they express a subjective judgement of the speaker. Bueno,

     malo, and their comparatives, mejor and peor fall into this category.

           Tenemos que leer una large novela.

           We have to read a long novel.

           Es el peor libro que leímos.

           It's the worst book that we read.

           Preparon una buena comida.

           They prepared a good meal.



      3. Adjectives that express quantity precede the noun:

           mucho

           poco

           bastante

           suficiente

           cuánto

           alguno

           ambos

           varios

           Alberto siempre tiene muchas ideas.

           Albert always has a lot of ideas.

         No ganan suficiente dinero.

          They don't earn enough money.

    4. After exclamations with ¡Qué!

          ¡Qúe mala suerte!

          What bad luck!

          ¡Qúe hermosa playa!

          What a beautiful square!

NOTE:

All the previous information comes from textbooks. I usually give my sources, but right now I am too lazy to do a bibliographic entry. Sorry. Maybe later.

Buen/Bueno, Gran/Grande

RULE:

A number of Spanish adjectives, all of which may occur before or after the noun, drop the ending "o"

when they precede a masculine noun:

     bueno

     malo

     primero

     tercero

     alguno

     ninguno

el primer piso

     BUT

el piso primero

la primera casa

el buen señor

     BUT

el señor bueno

los buenos señores

ningún hombre

     BUT

hombre ninguno

RULE:

The adjective "grande" drops the final "de" before any singular noun. In the plural it retains its complete form.

la gran actriz

     BUT

las grande actrices

un gran presidente

     BUT

los grandes presidentes

Thanks, Sue. That was how I was translating it but it's been used in
phrases which I wasn't making sense of. Somewhat like the sentence you gave
of "I doubt it" might be an example but it was more than that. Probably
used in an idiomatic construct. If I see it again, I'll ask about that
specific phrase.
Thanks for the help.
Lynn
