Just curious! Is there a difference in use in terms of formal/informal register with these two constructions, or is “tan...como” just more common? Thanks!
I’m not quite clear about the use of the ‘se tardan’ plural. The examples given are with a plural number of hours/minutes. Are the time units the ‘subject’ of the passive? In other words if the time was one hour or one minute, could you still use the plural verb? Or is there some other rule that indicates singular or plural? Or are they just equivalent?
Select the option with the verb in the correct form of the imperfect tense.
Cuando era pequeño, a Hassan siempre le gusta el güiro. Cuando era pequeño, a Hassan siempre le gustaba el güiro. Cuando era pequeño, a Hassan siempre le gustaban el güiro. Cuando era pequeño, a Hassan siempre le gustan el güiro.Can’t “vamos a continuar derecho” be used instead of recto? And aren’t carretera and autopista the same thing?
Thanks.
Where does “eso” fit in, and could it be used in the example below? If so, how would they be different?
I think I always use “eso” in these cases; never esto. Wondering if I’ve always been wrong.
“ Esto no es lo que yo dije.
This is not what I said.”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?
In the last sentence "Fueron unos días muy felices."
Isn't "fueron" the third person plural (preterite) of "ir"? It should be followed by "a"
It seems to me that it should be "fueran" instead of "fueron"
why is "pretérito perfecto" translated as "present perfect"?
"Preterite" means past tense, ¿verdad?
Gracias
