It makes me smile every time I see the character names used in the sentences... My father’s name was Luis and my brother is called Rafa (Rafael)! A happy coincidence :)
Could I say La ultima vez que la vi fue hace...
In the first sample sentence above, what is the function of 'lo'? There are 4 such examples on this page.
Hi,
I don't understand why some of these phrases have "de" or "que" in parentheses - what does this mean?
antes (de) que (before), con tal (de) que (provided that), mientras (que)
Are there certain times when you would use the words in parentheses or not use them? I'm confused as to why this isn't explained.
Thank you!
I was wondering why there is no comma in some sentences containing a clause - for example:
A medida que salían de la clase les devolvíamos los móviles a los estudiantes.
Conforme vayan llegando los invitados ofréceles una copa de vino.
Hi,
On this exercise the question is
He pedido a la mensajería que ........... el paquete por la tarde/ I have asked the delivery company to deliver the parcel in the afternoon.
The hint is to conjugate the ellos form of entregar in El Presente de Subjuntivo.
Why is this to be in the plural form and not singular? As it states la mensajería/ the company which is singular.
Is there any difference between the conjugation of "pensar" and that of the other semi-regular "stem-changing -ar verbs" in a previous lesson? Just wondering why "pensar" was singled out for a lesson of its own.
Hola,
re: punctuation:
Spanish dictation exercise SOUTH SUMMIT (A1)
Re: sentence in test: "en Madrid Barcelona Málaga Méjico y Colombia. "
I was wondering why there are no commas, as usually these would take commas?
Also could you direct me to lessons on punctuation, it seems to be different than French and/or English.
I did a search but nothing came up.
Thank you, Nicole
Hi, from previous discussions I understands there's no easy to identify "ser" and "estar", however may I confirm "en" must come with "estar". And if I see "a/al" it must come with "ir" (ir and ser have same El Pretérito Indefinido)?
Thank you, Hayley
