Hard one for me....Gonna watch it (video) again.

[@TellMeInSpanishEng]

Yes, it's definitely a more challenging topic. Do you find all 3 words confusing or is it just 1 or 2?🤔

[@iamwinningrightnow]

I understand some...Desde hace, from my prior studies, i understand to be "since ago." I lived here since 2 years ago. Desde, sometimes i don't know if i should use desde or de (when referring to from). I understand hace.

1:desde 2:hace 3:desde hace 4:hace 5:desde

[@TellMeInSpanishEng]

#1. Desde Hace (works with amounts)
#2. Correct!!
#3. Desde (works with months, days, seasons, and expressions like "la semana pasada")
#4. This is also 'desde'
#5. Desde hace (works with present perfect).
This topic was definitely more challenging! Sorry if I didn't make it easier guys!

[@mybikes1970]

Bueno, está bien que haya sido un poco difícil. Por eso necesito estudiar más 😊

​@@TellMeInSpanishEng Hi, why is 4th desde, when the tense is preterite?

[@kuzeyboy]

I am utterly confused, I think there's a bit too much detail to take in if you are not familiar with the topic

[@TellMeInSpanishEng]

You're 100% right. These expressions together can be too much!
