Some Benefits of the Pomodoro Technique

1：动词，“一直到结束、到终点”的意思。
这个电影很复杂，只有看到底才能懂它讲了什么。
2：副词，用在疑问句或者带疑问代词的非疑问句中，表示“进一步探究”的意思。不能用于带“吗”的是非疑问句中。
我给他打了好几次电话了，可是一直没人接，也不知道他到底怎么回事。
3：用在疑问句或者带疑问代词的非疑问句中时，主语如果是疑问代词，“到底”只能放在主语前。
到底谁去参加比赛，大家还没决定。

有意思的例子：
1：她到底是不是我妈妈，为什么天天让我来上学😂
2：我到底为什么学习汉语😂
3：她天天问她老公：你爱不爱我？她老公每次都回答说：爱。他到底爱不爱他老婆😂

Spanish with Jania

How to conjugate the verbs of "comer" in Spanish?

Hoy me ha venido a la mente una escena que me ocurrió hace poco más de un año, quizás bastante más porque con la pandemia, el concepto del tiempo lo tenemos un poco nubloso. Resultó que cuando una vieja amiga valenciana me visitó a casa, al observar una foto mía, de hará poco más de tres años, que estaba en la puerta de la nevera, me dijo: “¡qué diferente estás en esa foto! no parece que seas tú”. Hoy, al abrir la nevera y volverla a ver, la voz de ella ha resonado en mis tímpanos y honestamente, por más que miro esa foto no puedo ver “eso” tan peculiar que ella vio de diferente en mí y que yo soy tan obtuso de seguir sin poder verlo.
