y decidió establecer su forma/modo de proceder/su forma de actuación Explanation: La construcción inglesa es bastante torpe. Éste es el sentido. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2010-07-07 06:48:48 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Me parece bien, pero cuidado con la rima "idear-tomar" Quizás suene mejor "comenzó a idear su forma/modo de acción/actuación" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2010-07-07 06:52:54 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "la manera en como" no es una buena construcción. En todo caso, diría "la forma/el modo de proceder" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2010-07-07 06:56:03 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "en cómo" no es correcto |
