¡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.
Hi!
So in another Q&A, a commenter said "Ahora lo tengo", expressing that now they "understand it" or they "got it". Does that work in Spanish? I haven't found a lot about that on translation websites.
Thank you!
Hola Inma,
I'm trying to understand better why the subjunctive is used. Are negative opinions like no creo que, no opino que, no pienso que, no parece que etc, always assumed to reflect an element of doubt on the part of the person i.e. "I don't think so .... but I may be wrong."
If you are adamant that the negative opinion is correct [for example using one of the examples in the associated lesson] "I don't think María is jealous," couldn't that also be taken as a clear statement of my opinion without any doubt in my head at least? This would be possible in English. In which case would it be expressed differently in Spanish for example "Estoy seguro de que María no es celosa."
Saludos. John
Hola,
I have just completed a test with the above sentence to be completed with an adverb.
I do not have a problem with the adverb but with this part of the sentence:
... no nos quedan más ...
Can you please explain how the above equals 'we have no more' in English? I wonder why it is quedan and not quedamos.
Many thanks for you help.
Saludos,
Colin
Shouldn't it ne present simple no sabemos?
If I want to ask a question, can I say "puedo preguntarte algo"? ie. can I ask you something (meaning a question)?
I'm thinking they should sound the same in both peninsular and Latin American Spanish. If that's true then why the spelling change?
Hola Inma,
"Lo de que las películas de acción son muy emocionantes"
would it also de correct to use sean instead, given the informacion already known?
(As you can see, i'm still strangling with the subjunctive.)
Saludos

Hi. Why is the indirect object pronoun used in for example. “Le encanta la peli” When in English the the phrase “She loves the film” suggests the use of the Direct object pronoun. As in the “The film delights her.”
