Difference between Fare and Rendere

Я приближался к месту моего назначения. Вокруг меня, прижимаясь к самой дороге, зеленел лес, изредка уступая место полянам, поросшим жёлтой осокою. Солнце садилось уже который час, всё никак не могло сесть и висело низко над горизонтом. Машина катилась по узкой дороге, засыпанной хрустящим гравием. Крупные камни я пускал под колесо, и каждый раз в багажнике лязгали и громыхали пустые канистры.

Справа из леса вышли двое, ступили на обочину и остановились, глядя в мою сторону. Один из них поднял руку. Я сбросил газ, их рассматривая. Это были, как мне показалось, охотники, молодые люди, может быть, немного старше меня. Их лица понравились мне, и я остановился. Тот, что поднимал руку, просунул в машину смуглое горбоносое лицо и спросил, улыбаясь:

— Вы нас не подбросите до Соловца?

Второй, с рыжей бородой и без усов, тоже улыбался, выглядывая из-за его плеча. Положительно, это были приятные люди.

Idioms and Phrases With Meanings to Improve Your Spoken English

You know, before you dive into any new structure of learning, it’s super important to ask all the WHYS. Be curious! Find out the reasons behind a grammatical rule, a sentence structure, or even the way a word is pronounced. Trust me, when you know the reasons why something is presented the way it is, it becomes so much easier to remember and use in conversation and writing.

Think of it like building a house. You need a solid foundation of bricks even though you might just see the pretty, colorful windows. Behind every beautiful house is a strong foundation of bricks, which once laid, cannot be removed. It’s the same with language. Once you know the reasons behind the rules, you’re stuck with them in a good way!

En el episodio de hoy hablamos de literatura. En él hablo de la generación del 27, que fue un grupo de autores de comienzos del s. XX con unas características similares. Durante el episodio te comento estas características, cómo surgió y las circunstancias sociales y políticas que tenían lugar en esa época. Además, te menciono el nombre de algunos autores que formaron parte de esta generación junto con algunas de sus obras.
