New and Old Information in Spanish Sentences Containing "Hace" + (TIME).

Brewer, William Benjamin

Hispania, v70 n4 p895-99 Dec 1987

Discusses the subtle changes of meaning evoked by different sentence positions of "hace"-clauses. Analyzes the semantics of "hace" + TIME sentences which are the equivalent of English "ago." A presentation suitable for the beginning learner, using "since" + TIME as the English translation of the "hace"-clause followed by "que" is suggested. (Author/LMO)
