No aceptaba que su amigo tuviera una serpiente en casa.
She couldn't accept her friend having a snake at home.
Why does this not translate to:
"She didn't accept that her friend had a snake at home."
In other words, why isn't "had" the translation for "tuviera" instead of "having"?
The question is: “_____ los formularios el bolígrafo se quedó sin tinta.”
I chose “Mientras yo llenaba” since the translation was “While I was filling out the forms, the pen ran out of ink.”
Kwizbot says that “rellenando” is also correct, and I’m not sure why. The sentence “Rellenando los formularios el bolígrafo se quedó sin tinta” sounds as though the pen was doing the filling out—there’s no other subject expressed.
Is "le" necessary? can I form the sentence without it?
I am struggling to work out the semantic structure and 'rationale' of this piece: "Ni qué decir tiene que no necesitas, ni flores en el pelo, ni vestido de flamenca,..." - particularly its first four words?
I would like to point out that the third example does not contain any fraction.
Hi I'm trying to learn Spanish and I came across a sentence which caused my learning app and my native Spanish speaking partner to disagree:
The original sentence from the learning app: "Si puede, deles una explicacion a sus alumnos"
My partner say it's wrong, and it should be "Si puede, dele una explicacion a sus alumnos"
Since it refers to giving an explanation which is singular and not plural.
To my understanding, it should be plural because it's given to the students.
Which one is the right one??
Thanks!
