Hi
Forgive me if there is already a thread addressing this question.
I was a bit confused about a question that began with "no dudo que..." and asked for the verb to be conjugated in the present subjunctive. I followed the hint and it was marked as correct even though it ran contrary to my prior understanding of the subjunctive. I thought "dudo que..." indicated subjunctive because there was uncertainty/doubt but "no dudo que..." negates the doubt making it certain and thus, requires the indicative.
Is this an exception to the rule or did I simply mislearn this topic?
Thanks
Nathan
Inma, Shui and all - Sorry to be a nuisance: (you certainly do an absolutely incredible job, day after day; many thanks !) - but in the C1 dictation exercise "Verano en la azotea ", your 'tilde' in difícil needs correcting: (your version shows "No fue muy díficil de transformar") - see the original request at https://progress.lawlessspanish.com/questions/view/dificil-dificil [19th June].
¨Consiguieron que las mujeres participaran¨ ... would ´participaron´ also be correct here, given the lack of uncertainty as to what was achieved?
My sentence:
Las chicas se sintieron mucho frio en esa casa grande
was corrected to:
Las chicas sintieron mucho frio en esa casa grande.
But isn’t sentir a reflexive verb in Spanish? Reflexive verbs are not very common in English.,
Google translate has:
I feel cold (English) – Me siento frio (Español) – Jeg føler mig kold (Danish, my language, which uses reflexion very much like Spanish)
Please explain!
Hola,
In a Spanish show I've been watching, I often see the Object verb subject construction. What I would like to know is how prevalent this construction is in everyday Spanish. Are there situations where it is more commonly used?
Example.
Nos gustaría que sus cosas las tuvieran los niños.
Nos gustaría que los niños las tuvieran sus cosas.
*Sus cosas = Las cosas de sus hijas
Hi, I'm wondering if Inma is speaking in her normal voice/pace in this audio, or if she is enunciating carefully for us learners and the B2 level? I'm asking because I've noticed that I understand her pretty well, but when I watch videos of native speakers on Youtube, often I don't understand anything. Thanks!
Am very confused by this lesson. I’m not sure what I’m supposed to be turning into feminine, and whether there is a masculine and feminine form in the first place. Why is it cómodamente and not cómodomente?
