Spanish language Q&A Forum

Hi Inma, I've been enjoying your lessons.

Would it be correct to say:

"No pienso ir."

as:

"No pienso que voy a ir."

Thanks.

Vosotros quisisteis comprar flores a Manuela.

Hi! In the above sentence, if the flowers were a present, would they buy them "para" instead of "a" Manuela? Just wondering if I'm correct that the "a" makes it more like a service than a present.

What am I missing? The lesson says that all three options are interchangeable, but the test result says that I got it almost correct when I chose "podía haber reducido" instead of "podría haber reducido."

I am very confused with the use of subjunctive mode in hypothetical clauses intorduce by si  and the second followed by conditional verbs. I found out there their are different modes, present ,past, imperfect  1&2 , pluperfect 1&2. How do I know which is to use,?

In English there is a difference between 'stop smoking' as in put down the cigarette your smoking right now and 'stop to smoke' as in in quit smoking for good. Anything like that in Spanish?

Esto me encontré muy interesante. Vivía en España, en Valencia, durante el año escolar 1973-74. Sabía que Franco estaba enfermo y no tenía mucho tiempo. Me gusta mucho entender lo que pasó después que volví a EE.UU. No había tantos noticias en nuestra país sobre lo que pasaba en España. Gracias para esto video. Es importante que nosotros aprendamos de la historia.

This is getting old with asking a question specifying two different possible answers and then allowing only one in the grading of the question. Either sabes or conoces a should be accepted. The question does not differentiate between asking if the addressee knows of the restaurant because he/she has had experience going there or if he/she has just heard about it, a big difference.

Hello,

Thank you very much for this lesson !
