Hi, I dont understand this, should this Hint be ‘You could have/was able to buy the flowers’ to make it a past action.
The correct answers given were ....has podido and pudiste.
I put Podrías which was marked as incorrect.
Regards
The mini kwiz had this possible answer which I did not select, but which was apparently correct: "Nuestros padres compraron helados a nosotros." Isn't "a nosotros" the same kind of pronoun as "a ti" or "a ella"? Why would this not require a "nos" before compraron the way "a ti" or "a ella" would require "te" or "le"?
I've learned elsewhere that "como" is often much better to use than "que" when asking the kinds of questions covered in this lesson. I did not find a lesson that covers their comparative usages. Maybe would be good to include "cual."
One of the examples sentences is:
Me alegro de que hayas viajado a diferentes países.
Is the “de” obligatory or may it be omitted?
ie, “Me alegro que hayas...”
Should this not be singular eg. En perfecta condición as we are talking about a book and your hint suggests singular. I lent it to him in perfect condition.
Hola Inma,
I can't really understand the diference (if there is one) between fuera - afuera and dentro - adentro. ¿Me podrías explicar?
¡Feliz año nuevo!

Examples from above:
Mis amigos, que se llaman Luis y Mario, me visitarán mañana. My friends, who are called Luis and Mario, will visit tomorrow.
El director del colegio, el cual trabaja duro, es respetado por todos. The headteacher, who works hard, is respected by everyone.Both of these are "who" examples. Are que and el cual interchangeable for these? Would it also be correct correct to say "que trabaja duro"?
Thank you :)
I've seen your lessons on que without an accent including one on que used in question format with indicative to indicate disbelief. But my question is about que without an accent in declarative statements that seem to show emphasis or surprise.
I can think of one example. "Ahora que recuerdo!"
Is there a lesson on this type of que or can you explain it a little? Is it simply emphasis and can I use it an any sentence where I want to put emphasis?
Thanks, Philip
