[A comment rather than a question]: All '-erir' verbs [apart from the barely used 'enjerir'] change the e to ie:, e.g. sugerir, referir, preferir, diferir, transferir, requerir and a host of others. A similar rule applies to [all !] '-vertir' verbs: convertir, divertir(se), etc. etc.... On the other hand, all '-etir', '-edir' and '-egir' verbs adopt the e>i change.... With help from a CD which enabled words to be listed in reverse-alphabetical order, I examined the contents of my CLAVE dictionary, and posted the results in http://dlmcn.com/ir_verbs.html (the accents are properly represented in http://DLMcN.com/irverbs.doc ).
Hola Inma,
Yes I also missed the meaning of "con" as you explained below. When I read this sentence I also translated it as "Don't come back with that girl" as if a disapproving parent were making their feelings known. To paraphrase it, "don't bring that girl back here again."
How might I translate that meaning?
Saludos
John
Hi,
The word order in the above sentence confused me. If the word order was changed to:
¿Tu madre te dio el dinero?
would this change the meaning of the sentence?
If not, is the word order in the original sentence commonly used?
Thanks.
Colin
The table has two examples of verbs not three.
Hola,
In the following quiz I replied with ‘...solamente hubiéramos llegado...’ and it was marked as incorrect. The required answer was just ‘hubiéramos llegado’. Was I in fact wrong to include ‘solamente’? Is the ‘if only’ implied here?
Si ________ a tiempo. If only we had come on time.HINT: Conjugate "llegar" in El Pretérito Pluscuamperfecto de SubjuntivoGracias a todos
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!
Hola,
Would that work in this case (if we saw ourselves in the current timeframe), and if it did, would it be that you could choose to either follow it with the present or the imperfect subjunctive?
He querido que vinieras conmigo de compras.
He querido que vengas conmigo de compras.
I wanted you to come shopping with me.
Gracias,
The correct answer for "Maybe I should sleep less" is given as: "Tal vez debería dormir menos tiempo", using the conditional. However, under "Your Practice" we are directed to: https:// + "progress.lawlessspanish.com/my-languages/spanish/view/5084" - which helps us to choose between: "Using El Subjuntivo or El Indicativo ... [after tal vez and quizás - to express doubt]".
Hi, Why do you say: “Como es usted” instead of: “Como esta usted”!? Gracias, Arabelle
