Art/Literary - Economics / Lenguaje común, reportes económicos | | Spanish term or phrase: ...La metodología consistió de tres pasos... | I do not even know if this is correct in Spanish, since one could say "la metodología consistió EN tres pasos"... But this is always sort of crazy with prepositions.
Should you say: "Methodology consisted OF three steps",
or,
"THE methodology consisted OF three steps"
Thanks for a correct suggestion. |
| | Clarification request(s) and responsePatricia Rosas: 4:26pm Feb 15, 2007: I'd simply say: The methodology was in three steps... (and yes, the article is necessary).
mugarte: 4:29pm Feb 15, 2007: Gabriel, I'd use : consisted ON three steps instead of OF.
Satto (Roberto): 4:44pm Feb 15, 2007: Maria are you advising Gabriel to use "ON" , like in "The Mehtodology consisted on three steps" ? I´m sorry but but is COMPLETELY and UTTERLY WRONG!
mugarte: 4:47pm Feb 15, 2007: Thanks for your comment Roberto.
patricia scott: 4:47pm Feb 15, 2007: Sorry María, but I agree with Roberto. Things consist OF not on!
Patricia Rosas: 4:49pm Feb 15, 2007: ditto...not "on" but "of"
patricia scott: 4:54pm Feb 15, 2007: Just for the record, Consist in is also possible.
