| 8.14 Estar with gerundio II |
 |
darse cuenta = to notice (exactly: to give oneself the bill) |
|
derrumbarse = to break down |
As also in English when the actual
process of something is in the center of attention the
continuous form is used also in Spanish as you can see:
|
Estaba bebiendo
una coca cola, cuando la casa se derrumbó. = I was drinking a coke when the house broke down. |
|
Le estaba ayudando,
cuando me di cuenta que no se le podía
ayudar. = I was just helping him when I noticed that he can't be helped. |
