What
do you mean by vive tu a manera
Hi - In your topic on El Condicional Simple, the description reads as follows : "El Condicional Simple expresses hypothetical actions that would or might happen in the past and in the future. It is also used to express wishes, to give advice and suggestions or to invite and ask in a polite way."
How does one differentiate between this description and the use of El Futuro Simple for the use in prediction, probability and speculation? Seems quite confusing and overlapping.
Both hubo and habia mean there was or there were. What is the difference?
The speakers are having a phone conversation.There, where you live, is it cold? : ___, donde tú vives ¿hace mucho frío?
Why is alli not possible in this question? Considering that they are on the phone, they might feel quite far apart from each other.
Could you please explain further why "cuál" is used instead of "qué" in these examples?
Ella quería saber cuáles eran mis intenciones.Debes preguntar al médico cuáles son los efectos secundarios de las pastillas.
Hi,
Does the section headed "Bear in mind that their regular superlative forms can also be used" mean that there are two ways to say "The youngest of my brothers is called Juan:
El menor de mis hermanos se llama Juan.
and
El más menor de mis hermanos se llama Juan.
Thanks
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.
