Ella ________ saber la verdad.
With the correct answer being:
She might know the truth
In another lesson the future simple also implies ´maybe/chance of´, right?
I learned naranja as the fruit and anaranjado/a as the color. Obviously language can be used differently throughout the Spanish-speaking communities! Is that the case here?
In practice, are these alternatives used to the same extent as eachother? Is there a regional tendency to use one or the other?
What is the difference between usted, vosotros and ustedes? Don't they all mean 'you'?
Hola,
I took the full-in-the-blanks quiz "Asando Castañas" today and one of the blanks, where I should choose between El Subjunctivo Presente and El Indicativo Presente, was the following:
muchas personas se suman a ella con tal de pasar un buen rato,hasta que ______ (llega/llegue) el amanecer.
Apparently the correct answer was El Indicativo (llega not llegue), but I don't understand why. Isn't sunrise a future event that is yet to happen and therefore the sentence requires El Subjunctivo?
Thanks as always!
Deborah
Why couldn't the answer be, "Pudieras haber perdido" since it was hypothetical and you didn't actually lose your job?
Hi Inma, I've been enjoying your lessons.
Would it be correct to say:
"No pienso ir."
as:
"No pienso que voy a ir."
Thanks.
Your audio examples are one of the best features on this site.
However I find it hard to catch the European accents of some of the speakers.
ex. sofá = "sofau"
ex. hice = "heetsay"
It would be good for those of us who have a Latin American focus to start to hear more Latin American pronunciation. At the very least we could use a lesson on European accents.
