It would be great if we had the answers to the exercises. That way we could compare our answers and be able to know if we were good or not.

These are my answers as well but you're last sentence should say "They found residues in the coast, near the river, but they didn't find them in the grass"

Luis Falconí

@dxabier you are correct

Julián Darío Cadena Suárez

student•

In the exercise, the first sentence:

"the actor wants not only fame but also money"

Is it correct? Because in the last class the teacher told us that these types of sentences need to be balanced, and in this case we would have to add the verb "wants" at the end as well... But I'm seeing that he actually omit the verb to make the sentence shorter... So I'm confused. Is it possible that both of them are correct, but we use the first sentence in a formal context and the second one in an informal context?

Denis Picén

student•

This is exactly what I noticed, in the last class it was incorrect to omit the verb now it's fine to do it.

La omisión de palabras en estructuras paralelas, tanto en español como en inglés, se refiere al fenómeno lingüístico en el que se omiten palabras repetidas que serían necesarias para mantener la gramaticalidad de la oración pero que pueden sobreentenderse o inferirse por el contexto. Esta técnica se utiliza para evitar la redundancia y hacer que el texto sea más conciso y fluido. Aquí tienes ejemplos en ambos idiomas:

En español:

Estructuras paralelas con omisión de palabras:
- "Me gusta jugar al fútbol; a ella, al baloncesto."
- "Él prefiere el café; yo, el té."

En estos ejemplos, las palabras "jugar" y "preferir" se omiten en la segunda parte de las oraciones debido a la repetición de la misma estructura gramatical y el contexto proporcionado por la primera parte.

En inglés:

Estructuras paralelas con omisión de palabras:
- "She likes swimming; I, running."
- "He enjoys playing guitar; they, piano."

En estos ejemplos, las palabras "likes" y "enjoys" se omiten en la segunda parte de las oraciones debido a la repetición de la misma estructura gramatical y el contexto proporcionado por la primera parte.

La omisión de palabras en estructuras paralelas es una técnica común que se utiliza para mejorar la claridad y la fluidez del lenguaje, especialmente en la escritura formal y en el discurso más informal.
