Notes on conversation
Oye, Kathy. Oye means
"listen" and it is used to draw someone's attention. It is also used
in a conversation to open a new subject.
Está con los abuelos, Literally, "She is
with the grand-parents." When ownership or possession is clear, Spanish
tends
to use "the" rather than "his," "her,"
"your," and so on.
