Coma todo por favor
it's conjugated to the imperativo
What is the difference between:
Quiero que coma
y
Querer comer
Is it a certain nuance between saying "I want to eat" and "I want that I could eat?"
I'm a little confused here!
When you say "colloquially", is it a less formal/ slang-like way to use it?
And which region is it used?
Please note, when I eliminate the pronoun to the verb ie yo tiene - tiene, it is marked incorrectly;
also when the object is relating to a profession ,ie,: Yo soy una cantera it's marked incorrectly and sometime it is the opposite.
Is there any reasons as to why this is the case.
Hola,
In this sentence, Gabriel was going to be helped financially by his parents
Gabriel decidió comprar el piso puesto que sus padres iban a ayudarle económicamente.
Why is Gabriel an indirect object, so ayudarle, as opposed to ayudarlo?
I'm guessing it is because there is a hidden direct object of money?
It's a bit hard for me to get my head around Gabriel being an indirect object because they help him, rather than help him with help (money in this case)!
Gracias,
Could "la plataforma" also be correct for platform, or is that Latin American? Thanks
This is in the lesson plan. But according to a chart in a textbook I have, if the verb in the main clause is in the present (parece), then the dependent clause would be imperfect subjunctive or present perfect subjunctive. So the correct Spanish for what is written in English above would be "Parece como si hayas tenido una pelea con alguien." And the correct English translation for the Spanish sentence in the lesson would be, "It looks as if you had had a fight with someone," which is not a normal expression. The Spanish should be "Parecia como si hubieras tenido ..." Please advise if I am incorrect and why. Thanks so much.
________ todas las flores en jarrones de barro.
She had put all the flowers in clay vases.
Puso
Fue a poner
Tenía puestas
Ha puesto
I got this right because I recognized the lesson it was from, but I don't understand why "ha puesto" would be wrong.
Hi, Inma
I translated the sentence "it would be very difficult to determine it." into "sería difícil de definirlo", and the correct answer removed the "de".
But when I translated the sentence "that will be hard to forget for tango lovers" into "que será difícil olvidar para los amantes del tango." the correct answer asked me to add a "de" after "difícil".
I'm so confused now.
Saludos
Wenli
