>my spanish and in particular, spanish grammer, is horrible but i would venture that if you meant to say "the dog runs faster" then it would be correct but we are left wondering "faster than what?"<


El (he) nada.

>"he nothing" does not sound right to me.<

Camila, la artista, esta pinta un cuandro del lago.

>On this I think you have to change the tense of pinta to Pintando to say "Camila, the artist is painting a painting (un cuadro without the n I think) of the lake.<


Translation disclaimer: this is only a purely uninformed opinion based on a loose interpretation of casual interaction with spanish speaking folks for many years. If asked to cite specific rules I would have to say "I heard chewy zumaya say it like that" or some such thing.

Bus, your other comments are right but there is nothing wrong with "El nada". It means he swims.

Oh, by the way, friends (please permit me to call you that even if I sound like an arrogant knowit all SOB)

IT WOULD BE MUCH BETTER IF YOU'ALL WOULD PUT DOWN THE english FOR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO SAY, and not just the Spanish.

And, #2

"the nothing" would be "la nada" not "el nada" heh heh thanks flyboy mike for giving me something to smile about and stay healthier than I deserve....
