Hello. Would the following construction be acceptable?
"me tengo que poner muy guapa"
Thanks.
Just a query.. why is it " tenemos que conocer nuestras emociones" (no "a"), but "para poder controlar a estas" (with the personal "a") in the same sentence referring to the same object? Is this inconsistency typical of conversational speech?
El problema habría sido resuelto en dos minutos por mí.
The correct answer was "…por mí en dos minutos."
Thanks. K
I think there is an error in this example translated sentence - pencil is mentioned 2 x.
Prefiero aquellos lápices de colores.
I prefer those pencil coloured pencils (over there).
"Do you have a cellphone?" (formal) = "Tiene usted un celular".
Yes yes yes, I know it's more common to have "Usted tiene" but that is also more ambiguous of a statement vs a question. "Tiene usted" leaves no question of it AND it's presented in the lesson as possible and I was still marked wrong saying I should have just used "Tiene". That is a real basic mistake for a website that I trust to teach me more Spanish than I have learned on Duolingo, especially when Inma already stated below apparently you added it to correct answers a year ago.
the 'tu' form of ganar in the subjunctive is gana not ganes. It is only ganes in the negative.
