Let\u00b4s see first if you understand these comparisons all using \u201cComo\u201d:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mi hermano es tan alto como el tuyo.<br \/>\nBeber es tan malo como fumar.<br \/>\nNo soy tan mala como t\u00fa piensas.<br \/>\nMi perro no es tan agresivo como dicen.<br \/>\nNo he comprado tantos libros como t\u00fa.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Next, can you translate the following comparisons from English to Spanish?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My dress is as nice as yours.<br \/>\nLiving here is as interesting as living in London.<br \/>\nI haven\u00b4t got as many problems as before.<br \/>\nMy friends are as studious as I am.<br \/>\nTomorrow I am not going to eat as much as today.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Now I will say a sentence in Spanish using \u201cComo\u201d and a verb in indicative or subjunctive. Afterwards I will ask you a question in Spanish you only need you answer \u201cS\u00ed\u201d or \u201cNo\u201d:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Pedro me dijo: \u201cPuedo hacerlo como quieras\u201d \u00bfSab\u00eda Pedro c\u00f3mo lo quiero?<br \/>\nAna me dijo: \u201cVoy a hacer la salsa como a ti te gusta\u201d \u00bfSab\u00eda Ana c\u00f3mo me gusta la salsa?<br \/>\nSilvia me dijo: \u201cQuiero cocinar todo como me recomiendes\u201d \u00bfSab\u00eda Silvia qu\u00e9 le recomiendo?<br \/>\nCarlos me dijo: \u201cVoy a hacer las actividades como me digas\u201d. \u00bfSab\u00eda Carlos mi explicaci\u00f3n sobre las actividades?<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Let\u00b4s translate now the following Spanish sentences using \u201cComo si\u201d and a verb in subjuntivo:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Me siento como si fuera a vomitar.<br \/>\nMe siento como si estuviera en una nube.<br \/>\nAntonio habla como si estuviera borracho.<br \/>\nComes como si no hubieras comido nada en tres d\u00edas.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Finally, I would like you to make some sentences using \u201cNi que\u201d. I will give you a sentence and I would like you to create a sentence using \u201cNi que\u201d related to that. For example, if I say: \u201cMar\u00eda me ha dicho que no vuelva tarde a casa\u201d You could say: \u201c\u00a1Ni que fuera mi madre!\u201d:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Miguel me ha dicho que no he hecho bien la paella.<br \/>\nCarlota habla alem\u00e1n perfectamente.<br \/>\nMi compa\u00f1era de trabajo siempre me dice lo que tengo que hacer.<br \/>\nBeatriz dice que canto mal. <\/p>\n<p>This is all for today. <\/p>\n<p>As you see, \u201cComo\u201d is a Spanish word that is used in many different situations. I hope this practice lesson has helped you to better understand and remember its various uses.<\/p>\n<p>See you next time with more Spanish practice.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a1Adi\u00f3s!<\/p>\n<p>I hope you are enjoying my weekly interactive Spanish lessons.
