Written at on English with a size of 3.5 KB.

Lalala

Did I really just forget that melody?
Naw, na, na, banananananana (Dada, yeah)
Alright, dada dadadada

When I popped off, then they all call me
Maybe later, I can't talk now
Carly so cold, she's from the North, she's from Canada
Forty-five dates, I'm on the road
And you know I always sell out the show

I shine my wrist, it goes like shashasha, shashasha
I got your bitch singing like lalala, lalala
I shine my wrist, it goes like shashasha, shashasha
I got your bitch singing like lalala, lalala

Let's give it a vibe!

Cha-cha-cha, cha-cha-cha
Cómo se mueve mi mucha-cha-cha, cha-cha-cha
Ay, mami, cuando tú te agacha-cha-cha, cha-cha-cha
Cómo lo mueve mi mucha-cha-cha, cha-cha-cha
How I stride like that

I'm not really looking for a ring
I'm pretty,

Relative Clauses and Causative Structures

Classified in Spanish

Written at on English with a size of 4.06 KB.

Relative Clauses

Types of Relative Clauses

Specifying Relative Clauses

These clauses provide essential information and are not separated by commas. They identify the specific noun or pronoun being referred to. Without the relative clause, the sentence would be incomplete and lack clarity.

Explanatory Relative Clauses

Incorrect: Mrs. Morgan is an English teacher. His son is in our class.

Correct: Mrs. Morgan, whose son is in

Written at on English with a size of 1.54 KB.

E-commerce Gaining Traction

For a country such as Spain, where e-commerce is not as widespread as it is in the United Kingdom or France, it comes as proof that this alternative is beginning to take hold. In London or Paris, for example, an increase of 30% in online shopping is expected with respect to last year.
