an example i just did for an assignment is "I had deep respect for nature", and i translated as "Ya tenía yo un gran respeto por la naturaleza", but my teacher said that's confusing, change it for "siempre he tenido un gran respeto por la naturaleza"
Comments
"siempre he tenido" = "I always had" ⭐⭐⭐
"ya tenia yo" = "already I had" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
(i promise it sounds better in spanish)
