Maria and of Alejandro. We're just in the Capitulo 22, Mark. Yes, and in this episode, we're going to be taking a look at. As usual, we're going to start by listening to the text. In this case, it's a conversation between Rory and Alejandro. And after that, we will take a look at the meaning of the text. And I'll explain that in English. Sounds good. We're ready. Perfect. We're going.

Very well. It's a woman very amiable. Today, Maria and I we have explained that we've got the cards of and she was thought that

so I'm like I'm like you do you know to do you get a lot and we know that

we're a little a little little bit a little that's that's that's

emotion. Well, first we have to planer well the start you I think

this this is a good day. We're three days to planifical

it. I'm to be to if they do a day the day's

well, what you have so you're going to say a question so that's going to

that's so in this episode we're listening in on a conversation between Alejandro and

Rory. As we join them, it sounds like Rory has had a busy day spending time with Maria

having lunch with her at Consuelos House and then working for four hours. On the other hand,

Alejandro has been reading on the beach, enjoying his mate in the shade of the parasol, and swimming in the sea. Rory jokes that he wants to be like Alejandro when he grows up. What stress, Alejandro, when he's a major, I'm sure. Of course, Alejandro objects, reminding Rory that he's on holiday and he does work the rest of the year. Rory tells him the news that Maria has a boat license and that she wants to help them with their search for the treasure.

Alejandro can't quite believe their luck and exclaims that Maria is essential. She's a joya. She's a jewel. However, he's curious as to how Rory managed to convince Maria to change her mind. Rory's not quite sure of what made Maria change her mind. She seems to have thought better about things. She still thinks it's dangerous, but she understands that they want to try to find the treasure, and, since she has access to a boat, it's all turned out for the best. Alejandro goes on to ask Rory how the lunch with Di Gonsuelo went. Rory explains that he and Maria took the opportunity to tell Consuelo about the letters they found. Consuelo had apparently been looking for them,

but hadn't been able to find them. She was therefore delighted to know that they still existed, and she'd tell Maria's parents all about them. They'd be over the moon to read them again. Seguro that would be much illusion to learn. Okay, we'll be back in just a moment.

Rory also mentions that Consuelo's risotto was to die for, Or, as you say in Spanish, it made you want to suck your fingers. It was toulparse de los deads. Alejandro is very pleased with Rory's report,

and he hopes that they continue on this lucky streak, and indeed that they find the treasure. The friends end by discussing the best day to do their dive and opt for Tuesday. They'll tell Maria, and hopefully she'll get time off work to help them out. Let's take a closer look at that last thing that Carmen said there. In English it would be, I'm sure or undoubtedly, they'll be very excited to read them again. Seguro, that they'd have much illusion, Volverlas to learn.

Now, we know the word Volver to return, but in this case we're saying to return to read them. And actually, we say to return them to read, Bolverlas to lear. Carmen, I've got a question. Can't say, can't say, too, Volver to learlas? So that is, totally correct. Okay. So we're talking to say, sure,

that would be much illusion to learn to or, sure, that would be sure, that would be a lot of

exact. The two options are correctas. Of course, we're talking here. The las is referring to Las Cartas

that they've found in the attic. And the pronoun there, the direct object pronoun, Las, can go on to the end

of the main infinitive, the layer, because that's what they're going to do, they're going to read them,

but it can also in this case go on to Volver. Let's look at this in a little more detail. For example, how would we say well, in English

we've got the idea of going back to do something. We can go back to, for example, if I used to study German and then going back to it, I could say, Wulbo to study

Al-Alemann. That's me now, Mark, by the way. Ah, you're are learning German? Yes, I've

worked to study Aleman another way. So, to learn a study in English there we're saying

going back to study but also it can have the meaning of simply studying again I'm studying German again I've worked to study German

Okay let's think of another example where perhaps we're watching I don't know watching a film again so how do you say give us an example

of Carmen I'll go to a video that I'm going to watch a film again that I'm I saw many years ago.

Perfect. Let's hear the Spanish again. I'll go to see the Spanish again. Okay. Let's complicate this a little and take out a pellicula.

And we'll replace a pellicle with a pronoun. So the direct object pronoun for a pellicle would be la. Of course. So now we've got two options here. I'm going to go back and watch it

or I'm going to watch it again. Or, I'm going to I'll be I'm going to I'll what is

the version more natural for you For me those are naturales Yeah depends

of the time depends of the but the two are the

natural and I don't I don't I don't I'm

I think possibly as a learner of Spanish I would probably put the

la naturally on the end of the the main infinitive in

this case Leerla liarla or berla if we're talking about the film that we're going to see again. But you've confirmed that it's quite possible to put it on the end of the Volver as well. Yes. Let's think of another example. Perhaps let's put it into a different tense.

Can we have another example maybe in a compound tense and the perfect tense? Okay, let's see. I've returned to hear the can't hear the song. Uh-huh. So I've gotten to hear the song to understand the letter So you've gone back and listened to the song in order to understand the lyrics.

So I've listened to the song again or I've gone back and listened to the song in order to understand the lyrics. I've got to listen the cancassion for entendre la letter. Let's do the same again with our pronoun. Let's replace the cancion, the cancion, with a pronoun. So in this case

again, I'm assuming we've got two options. Well, we've got But I've to listen to I've called to the end of

the infinitive and it's a song yeah and also la I've

to listen okay so the la can go before the I've a I've

to listen yeah two options correct correct very very good that is
