Hi there, I find the adjective position of "la nueva red 5G" very interesting here. I can see how it could also be "la red 5G nueva".
I'm a telecoms engineer (ex Telefonica) and technically the 5G network is "brand new" and "newly created" and it is not intended to replace the other networks of 2G, 3G, 4G etc at the time if it's creation. I'd say that both adjective placements could be argued for in this exercise.
I don’t understand why my answer to this question is wrong, using the present perfect (ha trabajado). My understanding is that the present perfect can be used to describe actions that continue up to the present . May be the question to be translated should be ‘Juan has continued to work in the same company for 5 years’, then only use of the present (trabaja) would be correct. Or have I misunderstood?
Why was "Yo predigo que vas a ganar la loteria" marked wrong and the correct answer given was: "Predigo que..." ?
I have always thought it an option to use the pronoun with the verb even though it can be left out.
The computer is so slow that I can't finish my work.
It seems to me that it is a statement of opinion or one of uncertainty, not a statement of fact.
Thank you
To me it sounds a bit contradictive in this lesson: first, you say "nouns that end in a consonant and refer to inanimate objects are generally masculine" and then you continue with "you cannot predict the gender of inanimate objects".
I have no problem with having to memorize things, but I think that first part may be confusing to some, so it might be better to just leave it out.
I'm very much enjoying the lessons in general though. ¡Gracias!
Hola,
Trying to understand why this isn't an indicative? Seems more of a statement of fact? (appreciate that I guess that this is pointing to future occasions they will wake the dog - seems a very grey area!)
It is odd that the children wake up the dog so early.
Es extraño que los niños despierten al perro tan temprano.
Gracias,
Hola,
It seems like all previously accented words, such as lámpara, pájaro drop the accent, so that pronunciation is on the penultimate syllable - pajarito, lamparita?
Is that the case and are there any exceptions?
Gracias,
Hi. Studying this lesson reminded me that I searched on your site lessons that would help with sentence building, and how that is done in Spanish (above the usual introduction to making sentence.) I could not find any despite several difference search words. I also looked through the grammar, but saw no heading for that subject.
So could you point me in the right direction:
1- How to make sentences and their correct /various word order, and how interchangeable /or not the word order is, on a more advanced level than : subject, verb, object.
2- And also how the same meaning can be conveyed in different ways.
Thank you. Nicole
