The Anticipatory "It" and the End-Weight Principle

The anticipatory "it" is used when we have a structure of this type: Long subject + copular verb + subject complement (sC). In English, there is a principle called the End-Weight Principle, which states that long language units should go at the end of the sentence.

Following this principle, we change the original structure and use an anticipatory "it"; that is, an "it" that anticipates the long subject that has been moved to the end of the sentence (in accordance with the end-weight principle).

Example:

• "It is nice that you are reading these notes right now."

In this example, "That you are reading these notes right now" is the underlying subject of the sentence. "It" functions as the grammatical...

Table d'Hôte: menú de precio fijo frente a menú à la carte

¿Cuál es la diferencia entre los dos menús?

The table d'hôte menu offers a complete meal for a fixed price. An à la carte menu lists all food and beverage items separately, and guests choose the individual items they want.

(A table d'hôte menu offers a complete meal for a fixed price, so it is also called a fixed-price or prix fixe menu. An à la carte menu lists all food and beverage items separately, and guests choose the individual items they want. Some restaurants use a combination of the two menu types.)

Libro: TV Series Review

My favourite TV series is called 'Moon, the Mystery of Calenda' (Luna, el misterio de Calenda). It is a series full of mystery, love, and action. This series is broadcast on Wednesdays at 22:30 on Antena 3.

As almost every episode features a full moon, the protagonist turns into a werewolf. Meanwhile, the Civil Guard investigates the strange events that happen in Calenda.

My favourite characters are Joel and Leire because they are the main characters of the series, and I think that if they weren't in it, it wouldn't be the same. Joel is the werewolf and Leire is his girlfriend; they make a lovely couple.

All in all, I would recommend this series because it is aimed at young people and it is very interesting. Personally,...
