Hello, can you please explain the choice of el pretérito (creció) as opposed to el imperfecto (crecía) in this context? I thought that perhaps the time marker "con el tiempo" might indicate a more extended time period, and thus signal el imperfecto. Thank you!
I have noticed that all of the verbs that have a stem change in the future (querer -> querr- and tener -> tendr-) have the same stem in the future and the conditional tenses. Is this a general rule, or are there exceptions.
In the quiz question "se les han acabado las camisetas que me gustaban" what job is "les" doing?
Hello, in this exercise the English for litre is spelt "liter" in one of the lines. Thanks
How do I enter an inverted question mark at the beginning of the question?
I personally find it helpful to bear in mind that all verbs ending in "-etir" follow the above-mentioned e>i pattern [like competir] - e.g. repetir and derretir.
And - because 'd' is just the voiced form of 't' - some people may like to extend this guide to include all the "-edir" verbs as well; e.g. pedir, impedir, medir.
How would you say the noun "width" in spanish? I have seen the word "ancho" used as a noun for width but I thought that the word "ancho" was a adjective. Can "ancho" be used as both a noun and an adjective? I have also seen the word "anchura" used as "width", but it seems to be less common?
In the quiz question
He imprimido nuestras fotografías del viaje, ¿ quieres ver _____ ?
The answer was the singular alguna, and I only knew this from the hint. It seems like the person who was offering to share the photos was being stingy only allowing 1 or 2 photos to share. Would it be wrong if I had a stack of 20 photos to say, Quieres ver algunas? It seems to be a more generous approach to allow another person to see more than just a select 1 or 2 photos.
