I looked at the comments regarding quería and querría . But I do not see anyone asking abut Quisiera as I translation for "I would like". Would that also be translated in the present.
Also, I thought that when the speaker says what she would like, that part of the sentence would not be subjunctive.Although, I think that when an English speaker says "I would like you to .. . ." as opposed to "I want you to..." the former is softer, I just have a lot of trouble with the subjunctive and to be sure I understand this part of it
I've been taught that this usage of the passive voice is discouraged in English, especially in formal writing, and especially when the active voice is easily possible. Is the same true in Spanish? Thank you!
I had always understood that using the simple present tense or the compound "going to do something" worked exactly the same in English as Spanish. Something planned or intended for the future. (Not the present continuous)
Visitamos a Lola este fin de semana.We are visiting Lola this weekend.Vamos a visitar a Lola este fin de semana.We are going to visit Lola thei weekend.
All the above sentences mean exactly the same thing.
Why is there "en su espalda" and not en LA espalda?
I think the better English translation for this is:
I still have very good memories of that trip. (instead of: I have still very ....)
Una dicción muy clara. Un audio excelente y un relato que chido.
entender a su hijo
entender su pinto de vista
in english we don't use any preposition with the verb 'understasnd'
but why in spanish, do we use preposition 'a' sometimes?
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?

Hi, Why do you say: “Como es usted” instead of: “Como esta usted”!? Gracias, Arabelle
