can someone please help me :( and tell if i'm correct? Choose the correct Spanish translation for: “Vincent introduced himself to Rose.” A. Vicente me presentó con Rosa. B. Vicente presentó Rosa él. C. Vicente se presentó con Rosa. D. Vicente me presentó Rosa.
my answer is C but i'm not sure
@jonan7 can you help me please?
@kayders1997 am i correct?
@jakyfraze This looks correct to me
I know it's not A or D because you would have to use me with yo
But I don't know if the verb is reflexive I didn't think it was so maybe it's not C
The verb isn't reflexive so you wouldn't have the answer of a reflexive sentence it's B
Sorry I was wrong the first time I couldn't remember if it was reflexive or not
@jakyfraze
yes sorry I'm here @kayders1997
Sorry so you understand why it would be B?
are you sure @kayders1997?
I believe so, because when he introduces himself it doesn't reflect back at himself it reflects back to Rosa
Rose
oh okay! how do you know all of this? @kayders1997
I'm afraid all the answers are wrong... The most correct is C, but you should change the preposition "con" (that would mean "introduce himself with") to the preposition "a"
And the verb is "presentarse (a)", which translated is " to introduce oneself (to)"
@jonan7 i don't think i can change the question answers
A reflexive verb reflects back on the person like yo me ducho I wash myself yes he introduces himself but its to Rose, so the action he is doing is going toward Rose, so idk how the reflexive part could be in there @jonan7
http://www.studyspanish.com/lessons/reflexive1.htm A veb is reflexive when the subject and the object are the same. The subject here is Vicente, and the object is Vicente too (the person who is being introduced is Vincent), so it's reflexive. In this case, Rose would be the indirect object
But if it was like Mi madre cepilla mi pelo that isnt reflexive because its my hair
And yes these are missing the personal a in them
Yeah, in that sentence we don't use a reflexive verb... But I don't get what you mean to say with that example
My mom brushes my hair
Native Spanish speaker?
Yes, I'm from Spain
What I wanted to say is that I don't understand what are you trying to explain and I don't know how your phrase (with a different subject and object) is related to the original sentence (which uses a reflexive since the subject and the object are the same)
c is correct
@jonan7 thank you so much :)
