Hola! Yo tengo una pregunta- agua is feminine but the sentence says “el agua es clara”. Is this an exception? Are there others like this? Thank you!
Hi Inma,
Just a little question off topic.
In the example;
"Espero que hayáis reservado en el restaurante con antelación."
The preposition used is 'en' before el restaurante. In this sense do they mean 'at the restaurant' or 'in the restuarante'. Are there other prepositions you could use with reservar (like 'con') or is 'en' the standard preposition here.
Many Thanks
Have any of you struggled to fulfil the expectations of the improvement timeline? The grey line is always at least 4 percentages above my progress. What does it look like for you? Are you managing? Are you ahead? Let me know
You implied that we should use "Adentrarse en" but "Adentrarse por" was given in the answer without a reference to "Adentrarse en". Which is correct?
In another sentence you advised lit' "we dined on some sandwiches" but "en" was not included in "cenábamos unos bocadillos". A bit confusing, no?
The word "aparentemente" is misspelled in both the list of words and in the transcript. It is pronounced correctly.
Why is "Ellos propusieron cambiar la ruta del viaje." wrong?
Why is "Propusieron cambiar la ruta del viaje." the only right answer?
Inma - Many thanks for this useful lesson.
I am wondering if it might be worth emphasising, at the beginning, that "-ar" verbs all form their gerund quite regularly. Is that true?
That could be reinforced with examples like pensar [> pienso] > pensando;
and (in your category 3): contar [>cuento] > contando.
and maybe even mention in your category 1 that crear > creando is quite regular - (i.e., with no 'y' inserted).
We do appreciate your hard work and dedication !
I find it interesting [and useful] that in the constructions described here, the *Present* Subjunctive is allowed - whereas we can never put a Present Subjunctive immediately after a "Si ... " > (It usually has to be an *Imperfect* Subjunctive; or perhaps a Pluperfect one?) ... Perhaps we can say that the events in this lesson are more likely to happen than those in a "Si + Imperf. Subj." clause?
Can you please elaborate a bit on when the "que" is necessary in "gracias a que"? Is there a reason it's needed for nuestros padres but not for la colaboración?
The English translation says “We” for “acaban”. Should it be “they”?
