_____ de averiguar si es verdad todo lo que dijo (trate)

Trate in this case is usted imperative? If so, should I make a note on the sentence that it’s usted? I first put trata and got it wrong.

Yes.

If it helps you yes.

I hate these type of errors, where you know you are right but you still get it wrong hahaha

He told everyone.

Would the se in this case be reflexive or a le turning into a se? The chatgpt description is confusing me, as I can’t figure out why it would be reflexive.

I take it you’re referring to “Se lo dijo a todos”.

I took a look at the ChatGPT explanation:

  1. Se: This is a reflexive or indirect object pronoun. In this sentence, it serves as an indirect object pronoun that stands for “to him,” “to her,” “to you” (formal), or “to them.”

In my opinion, it’s not a bad explanation, as “se” generally has two different uses, as explained. The context will tell you which is the proper meaning; I find it difficult to make up a sentence where it could be either, with ambiguous meaning.
