Charlie Chaplin Biography - Early years –Second issue - With help
This is an exercise for English native, Spanish practicing.
I would like to receive 5 questions in Spanish about this text, with the corresponding answer. I will check and explain your work.
Charles Spencer Chaplin was born in London, England, on April 16th 1889.
His father was a versatile vocalist and actor; and his mother, known
under the stage name of Lily Harley, was an attractive actress and singer, who gained a reputation for her work in the light opera field.
Charlie was thrown on his own resources before he reached the age of ten as the early death of his father and the subsequent illness of his mother made it necessary for Charlie and his brother, Sydney, to fend for themselves.
Having inherited natural talents from their parents, the youngsters took to the stage as the best opportunity for a career. Charlie made his professional debut as a member of a juvenile group called “The Eight Lancashire Lads” and rapidly won popular favors as an outstanding tap dancer.
HELP: This is help for this exercise. Here follows some words:
Born: Verb Nacer. Yo nací en Caracas, Tú naciste en Europa,
Charles nació en Londres, Nosotros nacimos en China, ellos nacieron En Bombai. .¿Dónde nacistes tu? ¿Dónde nació él? I
It is past tense (tiempo Pasado, llamado también Pretérito)
Your father WAS: Su padre fue; Past tense of to be. In this sense the Condition of being ac actor was almost all his life; was not a temporary Situation like : Your father was at the beech
Known: Conocida, from verb “Conocer” .This is Participio form
It is: conocer, conociendo, conocido(a) Infinitive, Gerund and Participle.
Thrown on: ? similar to “Crecer” growing up I am not sure
Reached: past tense verb Alcanzar, means alcanzó
Death: muerte. Here is a nome, not a verb.
Can use like verb “Morir”. Su padre murió.
Illness: enfermedad. Ill: enfermo(a).
Can use like verb: Su madre enfermó
To fend: ? It is similar to keep oneself: Mantener(se)
Charlie MADE: verb “Hacer” but more like the sense of Do .
It is different of CONSTRUIR, ej un edificio,
ELABORAR, una Torta(cake)
In this sense, Hacer, is more intellectual.
RAPIDLY: it is an adverb, with –ly (prefijo)at the end the translation es –mente
Rapidamente. If we say lovely, it means: amorosamente.
Won: Past tense of verb …….ganar?
