How can I insert Spanish accents when I answer the dictation questions?
Hello, I am not clear why “estaba” is used (imperfecto) but all the other verbs are in the pretérito tense. I have read all the lessons on this subject but still nearly always get the tense wrong. I think the guidance is that the pretérito is used when there is a specific beginning and end - but is that not the case with “mucha gente no estaba de acuerdo”? Many thanks, Tony
Why is “hay” not used.
Nuestras vides produjeron mucho vino el año pasado. Our vines produced a lot of wine last year. but this was the answer you provided. Our vines produced a lot of wine this year. (HINT: Conjugate "producir" in Pretérito indefinido)
I used "mirar" and that was corrected to "ver". Is the difference somewhat the same as the difference between "watch" and "see"?
I study Spanish in Guatemala where we don’t use the form vous. Is there any way that my lessons can be without the vous form? Thank you.
One of the possible answers for a kwiz question was "Es posible que hace frío hoy". Why wouldn't this be a correct sentence?
The quiz translated this as "She is looking forward to starting her trip to Honduras." Wouldn't that be "Ella está deseando empezar su viaje a Honduras."?
why is a future tense used in this sentence? could we use some of the past tenses instead?
Is it because it is being used as an adjective in this sentence. Thx
