What is the reason for this exercise being in the past perfect tense? Could it also be in the preterite?

Puzzling over "Ni qué decir tiene ..."

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?

Question 8 and the verb 'trabajar'

For Question 8 I answered 'trabaje' believing it to be the correct subjunctive form but it was marked incorrect and 'trabaja' was given as the correct answer. Would you please explain. Many thanks.

"No seré demasiado atrevida"

Hola,

I still struggle with the whole ser and estar rules but I cannot see why ser is used in this sentence. If it means "I am not (by nature) the kind of person who will take risks" then "ser" would fit, but that is not at all obvious from the sentence. The translation offered was "I will not be too daring" [or something like that] which to me suggests that she was adopting a cautious strategy in the game, to avoid being embarrassed. Hence a temporary / changeable state.

Can you clarify this for me please?

Thanks. John

ACCIÓN DE GRACIAS 2la oración: TOMAREMOS una tarta de manzana. How does "tomar" become "to have" and why not use "comeremos" or "teneremos"? Or, is there another verb "to have" which can be used in the form of "we'll have" as meant in the sentence, such as "tener"?

Preposition 'en' in example "hayáis reservado en el restaurante"

Hi Inma,

Just a little question off topic.

In the example;

"Espero que hayáis reservado en el restaurante con antelación."

The preposition used is 'en' before el restaurante. In this sense do they mean 'at the restaurant' or 'in the restuarante'. Are there other prepositions you could use with reservar (like 'con') or is 'en' the standard preposition here.

Many Thanks

Meaning of el poderya que me estoy jugando el poder participar en las próximas olimpiadas.

Does this mean “since i am playing to be able to participate in the next Olympics”. If so is “el” before “poder” necessary or could it be removed and still be correct?

Thanks

Shirley
