Ella ________ famosa después del anuncio de la tele. She became famous after the advert on the TV.
This example seems to be a consequential change (resulting from being on TV) not a voluntary change. The answer given is hacerse, but volverse seems more adequate if my understanding is correct. But this isn't even listed as a verb of change in the lesson.
Isn't quedarse a better choice than hacerse? I thought hacerse meant a change as a result of a conscious and voluntary effort on the part of a person undergoing the change?
These verbs are so confusing!!!
With
Los que hayan reservado con antelación pueden ir a esa ventanilla.
The ones who booked in advance can go to that desk.
should the translations be can go to that window?
¿Qué tiempo hace hoy? as written above is (according to my teacher from South America who speaks a high standard of Latin American Spanish) not a proper way to ask about the weather. He suggests ¿Cómo está el tiempo hoy? which is consistent with other translators I've found. I am no longer confident about the level of Spanish being taught in this program. Are the instructors native speakers who learned in their native countries?
You can't say we don't need to use and then need to use. You can either say:
We don't need to use you may / can use the infinitive or;
We don't need to "can't" use followed by must use the infinitive.
I’m the examples “that is an umbrella” and “I have an idea” where there is no clear gender established is it acceptable to use either un or una?
The use of “te cansas” looks like reflexive use to me. However, when I consult the dictionary the use is described as pronominal use. Please help me with the difference between pronominal and reflexive use.
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
