BITCHES. Oh, Princeton, I was right.
Actually, THIS IS KEELING ME.
Excerpt from Repaso, this $55 review book that was mandatory for Spanish last year that I've only cracked open twice:
"Note the difference in meaning between ser and estar wen referring to food:
La carne es rica. Meat (in general) is delicious.
La carne esta rica. The meat (specific dish) is delicious."
Today's sentence about the well-cooked meat referred, I'm guessing, to a specific dish and its temporary state of being. And it had the past participle. "Estar+the past participle expresses the result of an action." In this instance, the meat. RIGHT?!?! BECAUSE THE WELL-COOKEDness is the result of someone well-cooking it. OH. MY. PRINCETON.
omg,
spanish fucking midterm
