Pourquoi elle est construite ainsi
Les notes correspondent aux numéros ci-dessus.
- 1Le escribo: the standard opening of a formal letter or email. Le = to you (usted). Indirect object pronouns and doubling →
- 2Spanish uses the simple present escribo where English says I am writing. Present tense: regular -ar, -er, -ir verbs →
- 3informarle de: the pronoun attaches to the infinitive, and informar takes de (or sobre) + the matter. Verbs with prepositions →
- 4el problema is masculine despite the -a (a Greek word), as in Portuguese. Nouns: gender and number →
