Exclamativos con quién¡Hola!
I would like to pay your attention to the following constructions:
Quién + iba a/podía/podría + infinitivo de pensar, suponer... + que (+ sujeto) + iba a + infinitivo/condicional/imperfecto de indicativo (+sujeto)
Examples taken from GRAMÁTICA DE USO DEL ESPAÑOL: Teoría y practica C1 - C2 by Luis Aragonés y Ramón Palencia. Unidad 27
¡Quién podía pensar que Lorenzo tenía dos hijas!
¡Quién podría pensar que la empresa tenía pérdidas!
Could you tell me whether the mentioned examples refer to the Present and past tenses are used because of Concordancia de Tiempos or to the Past?
If they refer to the Past, is it possible to use Pesente and Pluscuamperfecto in the second part to express different periods of time?
Regards,
Alexander
This is a repeated lesson usint the same verbs: PERDER, DEFENDER AND ENCENDER. I wonder if that was deliberate.
What about "llegar a ser", a common way of saying become in some contexts?
Also, what about when become, unlike in all the examples above, is not to do with people? E.g. The weather is becoming cold. The situation became very serious. I think these can be more difficult to resolve than the ones about people.
What about reflexive verbs as ways of saying become, e.g. enfadarse (to become angry)?
Great exercise, it would be even better if the suggested words to check before starting the exercise could be viewed translated directly here without the need to go to extra vocabulary book/web. Thanks

Puedes ayudarme con una oración en un libro estoy leyendo….No se si el autoro usa la palabra en una manera poética or es normalmente y correcto? Trying to understand if Aturdir and irritar are normally used like the above verbs ‘ like gustar etc. The following sentence from New Penguin short stories in Spanish [ de la cuenta ‘ La Indiferencia de Eva]. Me aturden las personas muy activas y, si son mujeres, me irritan.
Hola
Be careful because with other hundreds like 203, 345, etc., the tens and units do not change, just the hundreds.
For example:
Había unas quinientas treinta y cuatro especies en peligro de extinción.thought treinta should be treinte according to the info above that says the tens and units don't change
Please advise
many thanks
This is really a question about one of the quiz questions:
I correctly chose the response “por más que lo intento” ________, no consigo recordar todo el vocabulario.
But would it have been grammatically incorrect to say “por más que intento, no consigo...” ?
