Questions & Answers about A mi modo de ver, ese artículo tiene un sesgo.
Could I say "En mi modo de ver" to match the English "In my view"?
No, the phrase a mi modo de ver is a fixed expression in Spanish. Even though English uses "in", Spanish requires the preposition a for this specific chunk.
Why is the verb "tiene" in the indicative instead of the subjunctive here?
Phrases that declare your opinion or perception, like a mi modo de ver, en mi opinión, or creo que, trigger the indicative because you are stating what you consider to be a fact. You would only use the subjunctive if you were expressing doubt or denying it, such as in No creo que ese artículo tenga un sesgo.
Is the word "sesgo" common, and can it be used as an adjective?
Can I use "manera" instead of "modo" to say "the way I see it"?
You might occasionally hear a mi manera de ver, which is grammatically fine, but a mi modo de ver is the standard, highly frequent set phrase in Spain. Another very common alternative for expressing your opinion is simply a mi parecer.
