- SR. RIVAS: Sí, hace mucho calor. Te sugiero que uses ropa ligera: pantalones cortos, camisetas, zapatos de tenis...
- TOMAS: Y las clases, ¿van a ser muy difíciles? No hablo mucho inglés.
- SR. RIVAS: Bueno, te recomiendo que estudies. Te pido que asistas a todas tus clases. Pero aparte de las clases hay otras cosas que puedes hacer para mejorar tu inglés. Como siempre les digo a los estudiantes, prohíbo que hables del español.
Step-by-step explanation:
The translation of the conversation is:
- MR. RIVAS: Tomás, is it the first time you travel to another country?
- TOMAS: Yes, Mr. Rivas, and I really want to go. I already paid the deposit to study in New York. The course starts on July 20. Is it hot there in July?
- MR. RIVAS: Yes, it's very hot. I suggest you wear light clothing: shorts, shirts, tennis shoes ...
- TOMAS: And the classes, are they going to be very difficult? I do not speak much English.
- MR. RIVAS: Well, I recommend you study. I ask you to attend all your classes. But apart from classes there are other things you can do to improve your English. As I always tell students, I forbid you to speak Spanish.
Although the paragraph is in Present, two forms of conjugation can be noted in the verbs: the simple and the imperative, The way to recognize a verb that is being conjugated in imperative tense is quite simple, since before the conjugated verb is the relative "que." The imperative of the verbs used within the text, according to the personal pronoun that uses them is:
- Tú: uses/recomiendes/asistas/hables.
- Él, Ella, Usted: use/recomiende/asista/hable.
- Nosotros: usemos/recomendemos/asistamos/hablemos.
- Ellos/Ellas: usen/recomienden/asistan/hablen.
Only when Mr. Rivas made the recommendation was the conjugate verb used in the present simple, which for the first person is "recomiendo."
