the 'tu' form of ganar in the subjunctive is gana not ganes. It is only ganes in the negative.
The subtlety of this concept is lost on me. Can you explain in more detail the difference between these two sentences, please.
Hacía unos meses que trabajaba con su padre.
He had been working with his dad for a few months.
Trabajaba en la empresa desde hacía tres años.
He had been working in the company for 3 years.
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].
I'm sorry, but I believe this to be a misleading question. "Le encanta jugando con sus hijos." = "She loves playing with her children." She loves to play with her children", would be "Le encanta jugar con sus hijos." I feel like I'm being penalized for speaking too much Spanish.
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
Hi,
In the above sentence could 'ir' replace 'irse'? If not, why not?
What is the meaning of 'irse' if not 'to go'? And, when would it be used?
Thank you.
Colin
Coudl you please add examples of compound sentences with theconjunction si? Or is it covered in another lesson?
I was doing a writing exercise, and I put "estar por" instead of "estar a punto de" and I was corrected and "estar por" wasn't shown as an option. I'm wondering why since I have heard and used this expression frequently.
The phrase that has to be translated was, "He was about to go out the door when..."
I don't understanding the translation. For example why not use Domimos instead of "Hemos dormido", and why not anoche instead of "esta noche"?
Hi Inma, I've been enjoying your lessons.
Would it be correct to say:
"No pienso ir."
as:
"No pienso que voy a ir."
Thanks.
