I have a spanish test in a few days, and I need to know the difference between the two past tenses, preterite and imperfect. I’m already sure about their conjugations, but I need to know a sure-fire way to differentiate the two… any pointers? Is there any trick anyone knows that positively assures that one is imperfect and that one is preterite? Help!
The preterite tense is used for single, completed actions. The imperfect tense is used for repeated actions or those begun in the past and continuing into the present or future.
Examples:
Preterite:
My primo viajó My cousin travelled
Imperfect:
Mi primo viajaba My cousin used to travel

I have the problem in the form of
a + b*exp(i*x)
———————
1+ a*b*exp(i*x)
How do you get its complex conjugate?
There are two rules that together do the job: conj(z+w) = conj(z)+conj(w), and conj(zw)=conj(z)conj(w).
(Note that subtraction and division are really just addition and multiplication, respectively.)
Thus, if R(z) is any rational function, conj(R(z)) = R(conj(z)).
I hope this makes sense!

I would love to incorporate my vocabulary in my everyday conversations. I have an ok vocabulary, but when I tak to people I seem to not get my point across. I feel like i’m at loss for words and I forget the what I have to say. I get extremely embarassed.Which is extremely frustrating. I get tongue tied and I say the wrong thing. I want to be wordy and be able to talk properly. I don’t want to act like i’m above everyone else. I just want to be alble to talk to people and seem intelligent.
I haven’t read a "Reader’s Digest" magazine for several years, but they used to have a word list of 10 or 12 words in each month’s issue. The word list gave a,b,c or d choices for the definition of each word so you could test yourself. On a succeeding page the correct answers were given, along with a suggestion that you compose a sentence for each word & try to use that sentence in conversation over the ensuing weeks until the next issue of "Reader’s Digest" came out.
I did that, using a small spiral notebook I kept in my purse. I also did both crossword puzzles & the "jumble" in the daily newspaper + 1 of the weekend crosswords. (I now do these on-line.) I expanded my reading so that I often had 2 or 3 different magazines I’d be reading during the same period of time (one on the table by the TV, one on my nightstand & one in my briefcase), as well as a novel.
I also signed up for some adult education courses at the local high school (2 or 3 a year) on creative writing, reducing stress, social interaction, etc.
Finally, I joined some employee networks at the company I worked at & volunteered to work on various committees. This put me in some circumstances where I was the least shy person – believe it or not – which boosted my confidence & helped me become the teacher instead of the student.
It took me awhile, but I ended up receiving a volunteerism award & serving on the board of one of the networks for 3 years, as well as being nominated for various offices for some of them. Now I can strike up a conversation with just about anyone.

I have a spanish exam tomorrow (university level) and will have to write 500 words on a randomly picked topic. The more complexed my language, the more marks I will get.
I was wondering if anyone knew any really good, advanced level, gritty sentences, or set phrases that could earn me some points. I mean general sentences that could apply to most things – but perhaps containing the subjunctive, perifrases, or idioms, etc?
These are things you have probably been working on all year.
review those lists of phrases that you ALWAYS use the subjunctive with: Ojalá, espero que, quiero que, supongo que, those…
and the idioms you have used.
I feel for you, honey.
I hated those tests. So much so that, twenty years later, when I was visiting a class that was doing it, and the teacher offered me to take the practice test, I actually went into a cold sweat when she was handing out the practice booklets! It was so wierd!
¡Buena Suerte!

Are we talking Webster’s or The Collins Pocket Edition? You should get through the latter in, say, a month or so. But real tricky and arcane words are not going to be in it – so if your aim is to know every English word you need one of the real hefty dictionaries – in which case about a year’s research I would say which you will then need to keep up to date as the meaning of words changes, new ones are added and some become obsolete. It might be easier to aspire to work for one of the major Dictionary Press companies and combine your hobby with your occupation.

I am writing an Essay and it needs to be 1400 words. The problem is Word is counting the words in parenthesis whenever I cite something, how do I get it to not count them? Please help.
You can’t do that automatically, but if you highlight only the text you want, (The ’shift’ and ‘control’ [ctrl] keys make this a lot easier],
It will then only count the highlighted words. I would guess you know how to highlight them, but if you don’t, just drag the mouse over text, and it highlights it. Clicking deselects text; that’s where the shift or control keys come in.
Also, when you have to make an essay a certain length, you don’t normally have to be exact, to the number specified. Usually within 100 words is considered acceptable, depending on the situation.

Since the dish has wine and the dutch oven is bare cast iron (I just bought it a couple weeks ago, so the seasoning is pretty new), will cooking boeuf bourguignon (which has wine and requires extensive prolonged stewing) in a bare cast iron dutch oven give it an off flavor, dissolve the seasoning, ruin the dish, or ruin the entire dutch oven completely?
Hey, if the pot isn’t fully seasoned yet…NOW is the time to just grease it up and pop it in the oven for an hour or so. No biggie. Every now and then pull it out, grease it some more til it doesn’t absorb any more oil. No more wondering…
Yes, a cast iron dutch oven is the PREFERRED pot to use!!! It is what the french cooks have been using for ages and ages….
Man, thanks for the idea! I just got a delivery of Organic meats from a local rancher…and there is a Pot Roast in there that is now designated to be poked with garlic and smothered in wine…
