What is the difference between tener que and deber?
porque dice eso no es correcto en el primer paso
I'm still a little confused about how to determine which to use - cual or que. In this lesson, you have an example that says:
"En esta tienda hay flores bonitas, ¿cuáles prefieres?
In this shop there are pretty flowers, which ones do you prefer?In a quiz I took here, I used cuales for what seems to be an identical sentence to me and it was marked wrong and said I should use "Qué":
¿________ flores prefiere?Which flowers do you prefer?
Is the difference that cual/cuales are used on their own and not before a noun? So only "which one/s". And If I want to say "which specific-thing" then I use que?
For example:Hay flores. Cuales te gusta?There are flowers. Which ones do you like?versusHay rosas y margaritas. Cual flor te gusta mas?There are roses and daisies. Which flower do you like more?
Is that correct?
Thank you!
Hola Inma,
I'd like some help with the following. Since the present and indefinido "we" form of -ar verbs are spelled the same, I would like to check something. The related lessons are all about the indefinido, but there is a strong implication that some of the events would still be on-going, such as cultivating crops etc, raising livestock and producing electricity. Do we assume that these are no longer being carried out, or does this narrative style of events over a fixed period of time allow us to use the indefinido throughout, even if some of the events have been started and are still ongoing?
Saludos
John
Hi, what’s the difference between por donde and donde?
Thanks so much
Shirley.
Is it common in Spanish to use the first name of a person and the formal form together?
It looks to me like the helping verb is not in the pretérito perfecto but rather the Present pretérito perfecto. This may seem like a nit picking question but I am confused by the different names I see for the same tense in different sources.
When a word ends in -o or -a, how do we know which is preferred? When to use -illo, -illa, etc. and when to use -ito, -ita, etc.? For example, is it gatito or gatillo for a little cat? Chiquita or chiquilla for a little girl? Or are both acceptable endings? Thanks in advance for clearing this up.
Hi, how does Fiesta fit into this lesson? Gracias, shirley.
¨Consiguieron que las mujeres participaran¨ ... would ´participaron´ also be correct here, given the lack of uncertainty as to what was achieved?
