The reading exercise translates estadounidense as North American. Is this usage more common in Spain? I thought estadounidense meant American, and norteamericano = North American.
So, is it incorrect to say - Debo comer- Is the use of deber covered in other lessons?
Thanks
Why can't we use 'hecho en casa' for homemade instead of casero/a?
If the construction starts with “si prefieres X....” isn’t “si preferías X...” also correct?
The example 'Sierra Nevada se encuentra en la provincia de Granada.' seems to me to suggest passive 'se' rather than reflexive. Perhaps because I tend to translate it as 'is found' (passive). Is that an accurate translation?
Also, I've got in the habit of using the Latin American ubicar and estar ubicado. Are these considered incorrect in Spain?
Saludos
For the sentence below I would say "Whoever"
"Who/Which person studies a lot gets good results."Or "He/she who ..."
In the Superbike translation exercise, you translated "We'll always remember this day" as "Vamos a acordarnos siempre de este día". Why is "Vamos a recordar siempre de este dia" not also correct ?
I learned that you can use the futuro simple and the condicional simple to express something which might happen in the future.
Is the difference that the futuro simple only can be used with a sentence which states the probability of the action?
E.g.:
Tú ________ chocolate sin parar
Comerías
Pero:
Probablemente, tú comerás chocolate sin parar.
If my assumption is correct, what is the difference to:
Probablemente, tú comerías chocolate sin parar.
"Cómo ________ usted el cambio? ¿en monedas o billetes?
How would you like your change? In coins or notes?
querría
quiso
quieres
quisiera
se gustaría
querrá"
Why would "se gustaría" be incorrect here?
