If the following is true:
Bear in mind that used as adjectives, the hundreds must agree with the noun they accompany:
Había veinte mil trescientas personas en el concierto.
There were twenty thousand three hundred people at the concert.
Then why is the following the opposite?
Ciento is invariable and doesn't have to agree with the noun it accompanies, for example:
Ciento treinta y cinco mil casas
One hundred and thirty-five thousand houses
In this usage, it is similar to gustar, correct? If so, it might be helpful to add a statement indicating that, and perhaps rename the section to: Sobrarle con algo: To have more than enough with something.
When inverted verbs like gustar are taught, it would be great if they were consistently shown with "le" throughout kwiziq lessons to indicate an inverted verb that uses indirect object.
Having the associated preposition that typically goes with the verb is great, too.
Thanks for considering this.
For the last sentence, can't we use 'llevar' to talk about time spent doing something?
In the lesson segment discussing use of extra pronouns for emphasis, you show two examples of INCORRECT structure (e.g., "A nosotros gusta el cafe" and "A ellos gustan las manzanas", but do not show the correct structure. Would the CORRECT forms be "A nosotros nos gusta el cafe", and "A ellos les gustan las manzanas" (?). Thank you for clarifying. -Dan
In a previous question, mover was used in a present tense (Ella mueve...). However, in this quiz, mover was used in a reflexive tense (El perro se mueve). How do we know when to use or not use the reflexive tense?
It seems to me it is not always the case that se comes from a pronominal verb.
I think not when the situtation is accidental or emotional, right? So a non pronominal verb can accompany se while it is being activated buy these 2 states. In other words in,
Los niños se nos están haciendo mayores sin darnos cuenta.Our children are growing without us realising.
hacerse not here, se only comes from emotional involvement. Or is it always the case? I can see where hacerse means becoming.
When to use "hay que" vs "se debe"?
From lesson:
"Hay que recoger cuando ellos terminen.We have to tidy up when they finish."
When referring to objects, would you always use 'el' instead of 'lo'?
Why doesn't "Lo de estilo victoriano me parece más valioso" work?
