Hi,
The two problems with use of English posted some time ago are still not fixed. Hence, I'm still struggling to get to grips with this lesson.
"If I went to the hairdresser's" in English means; "If I were to go". They are equivqlent.
Similarly. "If he had an accident" is equivalent to " if he were to have an accident".
In both cases, the first sentence is common usage. The second using the the subjunctive is very uncommon in everyday English.
The lesson says "Remember that when you use this structure with an adjective, the adjective must agree with the subject." but none of the examples actually demonstrate this. It might be a good idea to throw in some feminine and plural adjective examples to more explicitly demonstrate the agreement!
Hello,
I hope everything is well at Kwiziq!
How would I express something like:
"They are my dad's"
Would it be:
"Son de mi padre"
Ser is a verb and I'm not sure if it can be used with the preposition "de" like this or if this is a common way to express "they are" in Spanish. Could you use the pronouns: este, esta, estos, estas, ese, esos, esa, esas?
Thank you,
Andrew
The speakers are having a phone conversation.There, where you live, is it cold? : ___, donde tú vives ¿hace mucho frío?
Why is alli not possible in this question? Considering that they are on the phone, they might feel quite far apart from each other.
Hello Inma,
The C1 level is surprisingly difficult because it focuses primarily on conversational Spanish with all its nuances, intentions, implied meanings and especially its idiomatic expressions.
James is a very happy camper! Go, Kwiziq!
Hi,
I did a search on your site to find out the above, but there were not results.
Do you have a lesson/guidelines on how to form adjectives from country names?
In the quiz there were names of countries and I couldn't tell how to form the plural adjective.
Thank you, Nicole
Hi,
I was wondering why this sentence uses the indicativo in the si-clause:
"me dijo que si la regaba y crecía como una planta, tendría un perro"
Isn't the mom seeing this condition as something not at all likely to happen? Does not the use of the conditional in the main clause also indicate that it is less likely and therefore require the subjunctivo?
Thanks!
Deborah
In the quiz I just did, the question was: “¡Qué ________ tiene ese hombre!” and the answer was manazas. Is there a reason that Mano with an “o” ending becomes Manazas and not Manazos? Is it simply because Mano is feminine even though it ends with an “o”?
If I had answered, "Me estoy muriendo de sed" instead, would it be viewed as correct?
