I have real problems with when to use articles. In this exercise why fruta Y verdura (no articles) but la piel y el rendimiento (articles)?
Thanks for any advice
English "Has drunk" or "drank"
Can't say "Has drank"
I'm having a tough time knowing when to use the simple past and when to use the imperfect. Could someone walk me through the sentence below and help me understand why we use the different tenses?
Nos alojamos en una casa rural donde no teníamos conexión a internet, pero no era el fin del mundo porque nuestra meta era desconectar y olvidar el estrés.Hola,
Is there a lesson which develops this theme, and discusses when the definite article is used with the noun in the body of a sentence - and if there are times when this is not the case?
Thanks. John
Why is it "*por* dónde estaremos" instead of "dónde estaremos" in the sample question?
Hola,
Here is my train of thought. "Ayer estuve en un concierto:" "Yesterday" requires the pretérito indefinido because it refers to a completed action at a time in the past, and the verb is estar because it is referring to a location; hence estuve.
However I am stuck with "Fue en San Juan:" Is San Juan not a location? If so, would it require the verb estar rather than ser?
It would be great if you could explain this.
Many thanks.
the 'tu' form of ganar in the subjunctive is gana not ganes. It is only ganes in the negative.
