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.
¿Porque usamos la expresión, "no esté aquí", en lugar de "no estoy aquí"?
¿Qué significa la palabra, "esté", exactamente?
¿es lo tiempo presente subjuntivo? después de más investigación, Yo pienso que significa, "would not be here".
Gracias, Jaime
I use a tablet to practice Lawless Spanish while on the treadmill. I am unable to place accent marks with the tablet, usually this is not a problem as those answers go into the nearly correct column. My answer to: Los estudiantes ya _____ las instrucciones, han leido was marked wrong. This is inconsistent and confusing. Please look into this.
Sometimes the answers require the feminine 'a' but there isn't any context in the question as to the gender of the subject.
Unless I'm mistaken, which is highly probable :)
cheers

Hi Silvia. The phrase "expression of doubt" (I paraphrase) and the way it is used here seem ambiguous. How is it that according to the tests "creemos que" and "piensan que" don't express doubt; to me, since they don't express certainty, there is doubt. Likewise, how is it that "es impossible que" is followed by the subjunctive, when it expresses certainty that something is not possible. Please clarify. Thanks.
until we get on the motorway [US: freeway].
Why have you used the infinitive of 'salir' in this sentence, rather than 'salimos'?
I did not see any discussion as to whether you can split the pronouns and put just one on the end of the infinitive/gerund:
Tengo un libro nuevo y me quierolo leer pronto.
Tengo un libro nuevo y lo quierome leer pronto. (pronoun ordering???)
Would either of these forms be acceptable?
I don't understand why this is El Pretérito Imperfecto rather than only past tense.
