I have doubts: -I SAW myselve IN the mirror or ON the mirror -She was phoning my sister or TO my sister -(quedar viuda) She got widow??? -(la seguimos queriendo) We´ve loved her. -(la pongo en el cd ,una cancion) I put it ON the CD
1- I saw (looked at) myself in the mirror. "Look at"- cuando te miras, con intención.
2- She was phoning my sister. ( No preposition).
3-She became a widow/ She was widowed. NOTE: He became a widower./ He was widowed.
4- Depende de lo que quieras decir: "la seguimos queriendo"( sin hacer referencia a desde cuándo o durante cuánto tiempo) = we still love her (now).
"la queremos desde que nacimos (implicando que aún la queremos ahora, que la seguimos queriendo) = We have loved her since we were born.
( En este uso del present perfect, para expresar que una acción o estado empieza en el pasado y continúa en el presente, hay que hacer referencia al tiempo con "for" o "since".)
Excellent, Emma! The sentence is incorrect. We can't use the present perfect tense plus "for" or "since" to express an action or state that is finished.
Your sentence is the right one: I LIVED in London for two years, and now I live in Paris.
Incorrect.I lived in London 2 years and now I live in Paris ?????
