One example of junta means "gathered" instead of "together":
Había demasiado polvo junto en la habitación.There was too much dust gathered in the bedroom.
When do we use this different meaning?
Marcos
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 :)
I'm not great at grammar in my own language and before I started learning Spanish I didn't even know what the subjunctive was. So I've learned it's a sort of feeling expressing doubt or IF something were to happen or wishing? I can't quite see how "we're going to sit where there is shade" fits in the subjunctive. Doesn't it suggest certainty? Or am I wrong about this?
Juan y tú proveísteis
In Latin America we only use the imperfect of querer if we didn't get what we wanted, or if we got what we didn't want. Otherwise we use the preterite. Is it the same with the version of Spanish you teach?
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.
Doesn't rosado also mean pink?
This lesson needs a lot of work. If you put expressions with "desde hace" and "hace" in an online translator they ALL come back with the same sentence in English. It's nearly impossible to tell when you're supposed to use "desde hace." More examples are needed. In fact I can't even tell from the lesson why I would ever use "desde hace" when "hace" works just fine for the same meaning. Moreover I talk to natives every single day and no one has corrected me to say "desde hace" instead of "hace." So maybe I'm crazy but maybe this lesson needs work.
