Above you have the verb "hacer" conjugated, and maybe you can use "ago" with all of them I'm not sure you can in future tense, though , but "ago" is not replacing "hacer", since you also have to modify the rest of the sentence i. Let's say, there isn't a single word that has the same function as "hacer" here. No, it should be "desde el verano pasado.
Having said that, it occurs to me to wonder about "haber" for which, I can't think of a Latin equivalent. In Italian it still has the H. It's interesting that many words that started with F in Latin, and still do in Italian and French, start with H in Spanish. If i have not misunderstood Lazarus' comments and I can't think of any counter examples all the words in Spanish that start with "h" had an "f" in Latin.
When you start a sentence with "Desde que," the reader expect you to tell him who or what did something at a certain time. Desde alone is used to refer to specific time periods or points. Desde hoy, desde el viernes pasado, desde La Navidad, etc.
So desde hace can also be used with an unspecific time, yes''? Learn Spanish. Sign in. I've been waiting since I agree mi amor , heres a vote also. James Santiago said: Lazarus has given you a good answer, with which I agree except for saying that "hace" is untranslatable in English.
This is confusing the issue - which is not necessary, especially when a beginner is trying to understand : "Hace" can be translated as "ago" and is separate from the third person conjugation of "hacer". No, it should be "Desde que fui No, it should be "Desde hace A great argument from great minded members!
But even though they seem to be referring to the same thing, these time expressions are not interchangeable. It works with numbers and adverbs of quantity. Although they both help you to talk about past events or actions that continue to occur in the present, each of these time expressions has a different purpose. Desde focuses on the beginning or starting point of any action. Desde hace emphasizes the amount of time that has passed since an action or event began.

Now that you have a general idea of how these words work, the following sections will provide you with phrase structures and the contexts where you apply them. Take Note: When using the previous phrase structure, you can either use a noun, a date, an adverb, or a Holiday to indicate the beginning of your action.

I've never had many students online, but since the lockdown or confinement was confirmed in London, four months ago, I started working full time on Zoom.
I must admit I really like to work this way, since I have more free time to prepare material for students. Previously, with face-to-face classes, I had to commute from one side of the city to the other, spending up to three and a half hours per day in the subway or underground. Monday to Saturday! Now, not only can I count on that time to prepare my classes but I can also have students anywhere in the world, and I can also work from anywhere!
