Spanish language Q&A Forum

In the example:

"Los que hayan reservado con antelación pueden ir a esa ventanilla"

why is it 'hayan' and not 'han'?

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?

One thing I find problematic (and frustrating even) about the dictation exercises is the intonation of the voice after punctuation (e.g., commas, periods, question marks, and even exclamation points) is highly inconsistent with natural speech. For example, typically speakers pause briefly after a comma, and the voice is raised sightly (or even demonstrably) after a question has been posed. These common features of natural/normal speech are too often absent and I think that is a major flaw in Kwiziq dictation exercises.

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a reason the "c" turns in a "j",  It seems to me that

conduce would sound fine in front of "e" and "i" (perhaps just a change in front of the "a" and "o".

Do you know of any reason for the change?

Thank you.

Four examples in the lesson.   In the last three ,you could translate con lo que as "despite"but that would not make sense in the first example and seems not to fit the pattern.   

Thank you David and Inma for your replies.

But, is the sentence not really: (Nosostros) érasmos nosotros los que ...?

And 'los que' would mean 'ones who'?

Saludos,

Colin
