I got this incorrect: Translate: It is ten to nine. My answer: Son las diez meno nueve. Correct Answer: Son las nueve diez. Isn't that 9:10, rather than what the question is asking
The last example translates “De haberlo sabido” as “I had known” when it should be either “Had I known” or “If I had known.”
Though it is a bit formal sounding, another way to translate the passive form in English referring to a '"general you", i.e. people in general ', is "ONE must/can...". For example "One must always tell the truth".
I find that helps me differentiate between "you must" - debes (a specific person), and the passive "One must" - se debe (people/individuals in general)
Why is it "trae" and not "está trayendo"?
I don't understand why my answer to No 1 was incorrect: "... fotografias. Queres ver algunas?"I chose "algunas"because it agreed in gender and number with fotografias and was not in the affirmative. Very confusing.
La verdad no entiendo como funciona este ejercicio..... hay un texto con una grabación, entonces el proposito es que los alumnos escuchen y mejoren su pronunciación?
Hi. I just read these 2 phrases in an article:
A tan poca distancia del sol
A tan solo 42 millones de kilómetros del sol.
Is it similar in meaning to the above but varies only with the use of distances instead if time?
¡Hola! Am new here .I have a problem with the placement of 'usted'.For example ¿Usted tiene nietos?and ¿Tiene Usted nietos? Are both of the sentences correct? When or in what context do you use Usted before the verb or after.
