¡Feliz Navidad a Inma, Shui y todo el equipo...que lo paséis bien! :))
Can you please tell me when to use 'eso' and when to use 'ese' or 'esa'. In the sentence, 'Eso es un paraguas.' why 'eso' and not 'ese'? And, is the usage of 'esto' similar?
Thank you.
Colin
El idea fue de Julián.
Male would be el
Female would be la
Es correcto?
When do you use cada & when todo? I know they're interchangeable, but is that the case always?
Hola,
I clicked on the link at the top of this lesson to see more info on the topic :
However, later on I tried to do a search with both these entries in the search box and on the Library page with these entries - below- and nothing came up (except the translations - which has happened several times before):
Entries: Spanish grammar lessons for Idioms, Idiomatic Usage, and Structures and
IDIOMS, IDIOMATIC USAGE, AND STRUCTURES (your link in the lesson)
I don't understand how come this does not come out in the search. What am I doing wrong?
Also would it work better to search in Spanish?
Thank you. Nicole
The exceptions are both words that describe places of origin. Is this a pattern or are these two examples that just happened to be place names. I can see three possibilities:
1) When you have a place of origin adjective (from Spain, from Analusia) you always use gendered plural endings.
2) When you use gendered plural endings for adjectives ending in z or l you always use gendered plural endings
3) It's just a coincidence in the examples and neither 1 or 2 is a pattern.
Which one of these cases is closest to being correct?
In Kwiziq, there's a lesson on -ito etc and a lesson on -illo etc. I'm living in Ecuador and have traveled around Central and South America a bit, and I've heard both groups of suffixes used in what seems to be the exact same way. I guess I'm looking for a little clarity on whether they are 100% interchangeable.
Am I correct that team -ito and team -illo mean the same thing - they make a word diminutive, softer, affectionate - and that the real difference is just in local usage? I can use either group of suffixes, and not be wrong, but one group is just more common in certain areas than the other?
My apologies if you've answered this elsewhere. I reviewed the other questions, and I did not find an answer that makes me confident that my understanding is correct.
And thanks, in advance for your help.
how do I learn which nationalities have different masculine and feminine forms and which do not?
I used 'murieron' instead on 'murió' and was marked wrong. So, I assume that 'ejército' is always considered singular in spanish?
