A lo largo de: This expression is equivalent to "durante". But it sounds comical used in expressions that indicate very short periods of time.. Example: Habló a lo largo de un minuto. This should be avoided. Better, Habló durante un minuto. Hay: The verb "hay" is never followed by the determiners "el", "la", "los", "las", but rather by the indefinite articles: "un", "una", "unos", "unas" or by numerical determiners: "dos", "tres"… Example: Incorrect: * Hay el coche rojo en la calle. Hay un (dos...) coche rojo en la calle.
