Hola Inma: Regarding El Preterito Perfecto, I don't know what you mean when you say the speaker sees herself inside that same timeframe. For example: “¿Vosotras pudisteis reservar ese hotel tan barato?” In what way does the speaker see herself inside that timeframe? Likewise, for El Preterito Indefinido, in what way does the speaker see herself outside the timeframe, ex: “No pudimos conseguir entradas para el concierto”?
Should it read:
Using the present or future tense IF the main clause does not change the meaning of the sentence. IF in place of IN
Hi, re “si sigues”, is there a lesson on use of present subjunctive after si? I searched but didn’t find one. Saludos, Shirley.
Hola Inma,
I can't really understand the diference (if there is one) between fuera - afuera and dentro - adentro. ¿Me podrías explicar?
¡Feliz año nuevo!
Ελισάβετ
Examples from above:
Mis amigos, que se llaman Luis y Mario, me visitarán mañana. My friends, who are called Luis and Mario, will visit tomorrow.
El director del colegio, el cual trabaja duro, es respetado por todos. The headteacher, who works hard, is respected by everyone.Both of these are "who" examples. Are que and el cual interchangeable for these? Would it also be correct correct to say "que trabaja duro"?
Thank you :)
Este es el título del uno de mis lecciones bajo de sujeto, ¨Conjugate ver in El Pretérito Perfecto (present perfect)".
He lo tratado pero, me parece que es muy difícil a preguntar una pregunta en el forum en una moda que consigue para mi una respuesta.
Gracias, Jaime
It only says "We can also form the superlative of some adverbs with the suffix -ísimo", but not which ones these are.
There's something on cerca & lejos, but how about other irregular adverbs (those having an independant form, like bien)?
It seems these would not have any -ísimo from, as I neither found "lo hiciste bienísimo" nor "lo hiciste buenísimo", but solely "lo hiciste muy bien".
In Kwiziq, there's a lesson on -ito etc and a lesson on -illo etc. I'm living in Ecuador and have traveled around Central and South America a bit, and I've heard both groups of suffixes used in what seems to be the exact same way. I guess I'm looking for a little clarity on whether they are 100% interchangeable.
Am I correct that team -ito and team -illo mean the same thing - they make a word diminutive, softer, affectionate - and that the real difference is just in local usage? I can use either group of suffixes, and not be wrong, but one group is just more common in certain areas than the other?
My apologies if you've answered this elsewhere. I reviewed the other questions, and I did not find an answer that makes me confident that my understanding is correct.
And thanks, in advance for your help.
