In one of the quizes engish scentence "After the blow, you didn't remember anything" one is asked to conjugate recordar in the El Pretérito Imperfecto tense. I used "recordaba" but this was marked as incorrect. recordabas was marked as corrrect. Why is the "You formal" conjugation not correct for the above scentence?
I wish the guy giving the dictation does not read como si fuera SINGING. He also does not ENUNCIATE the words whereby it is so difficult to understand!
Is it common in Spanish to use the first name of a person and the formal form together?
Hola,
I don't understand how 'debido a que' is a wrong answer in the test for this question?
Ella dejó a su marido ________ su mal humor y sus celos.She left her husband because of his bad temper and jealousy.
I guess it's because it's a combination of nouns (humor, celos) without any further embellishment, but it's confused me because of the explanation referring to a noun, rather than nouns plural:
"If we use debido a que, it can never be followed just by a noun, it needs a phrase."
Gracias,
In the test, I got this one wrong:
Dame todo ________ tengas en el bolso. Give me everything you have in your handbag.
The correct answer was "lo que," but I thought it was "que," my reason being that I thought "que" referred to the single word "todo." I'm still confused as to why "que" is incorrect, so any clarification would be great! Thanks.
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
In the example: "Su hijo quiere que ustedes lo escuchen."
Would this be translated: Your son wants you to listen to it? As if it is a recording or radio announcement, etc?
Why the use of "lo" for "him" and not "le"?
Thanks,
Kaly
