Hola,
Could we say something like ‘qué menos poco’, etc, to emphasise to an even greater extent the very little of the action/ verb that is going on?
Gracias,
how can i know when to use the subjunctive or the indicative with Lo/la + noun + es que+ subjuntivo / indicativo for example la idea /cuestion/cosa
Why was "por lo tanto" marked wrong in this test? It is perfectly correct, isn't it?
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.
I was planning to go for a holiday - pienso ir de vacaciones, pensaba ir de vacaciones. Iba a ir de vacaciones. Does all these mean the same thing ? Ir in imperfect + a + infinitive seems very similar to pensar + infinite. In this case, do we use pensar in present tense or in imperfect (same as the way IR is used) ?
Te apasionan los Ferrari pero no has conducido ninguno.
My question really isn't about "ninguno;" I love the explanation!
It's about "los Ferrari." Are brand names always singular, even when you're talking about all or more than one of them? For example, are these correct?
Me encantan los Toyota. Is the article masculine because "coche" is masculine and Toyotas are cars?
Me encantan mis/los Nikes. Is the article plural because "shoes" are always plural, or is it singular because Nike is a brand name?
Thank you!
There is no hint to indicate whether "you" i singular or plural , familiar or formal. Therefore we can be marked down if our choice of one of four possible correct responses is not the same as your choice.
hi the Link to the wider lesson on this isnt working. When will it be available?
Im currently working on the idea that (in Spain) spaniards use the present perfect (when English would use the simple past) when there is a sense that the verb happened in the recent past, or otherwise related to the present in some way. e.g you SAW the film THIS week, we SAW your parents (maybe THIS morning), or they SAW the sunrise (last night).
is this right?
1st table of examples. Why do you use 'tocara' in the third sentence when referring to 'they'? Should it not be 'tocaran'?
