I've learned elsewhere that "como" is often much better to use than "que" when asking the kinds of questions covered in this lesson. I did not find a lesson that covers their comparative usages. Maybe would be good to include "cual."

Meaning: preferir ... que.... & preferir ... en vez de...

Preferir... que... just means: prefer... than... .Doesn't it?

Preferir... en vez de... means: prefer... rather than.... Why? I don't understand.

Thank you so much

Otra vez, No vuelvas con esa chica

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

Siente que su grado de veterinaria no le llenaHola Inma, The translation provided gave this as "she feels that her veterinary degree does not fulfil her." I know that there are other verbs which function in this way, where an indirect object is used instead of a direct object. I think this is the case with pedir, decir, preguntar for example, where the direct object is implied as communicating "something ... to another person." Thus in my above question is it that "No le llena" implies that her degree does not fulfil "something" in her. Is there a lesson about this, or is there a way of recognising these verbs, or do we learn them as we go? I hope this makes sense. Saludos John

What'a the difference between this lesson and a previous one

Hola

I'm confused as to why this lesson exists. Doesn't this one Using se debe/n and se puede/n + infinitive to say you must / you can (passive) already cover it??

Una pregunta...

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

Pudo ser vs podría/pudo haber sido

Hola, mi amiga dijo "este domingo no pudo ser más lindo". ¿Tiene el mismo significado que este domingo no podría haber sido? Me pareció rara la frase. Parece que a ella no le gustó este domingo, pero la verdad que sí. Es de Argentina, así que quizás sea cuestión de dialecto no sé.
