Why is 'peli' not accepted in place of películas?
Hola Inma,
Just to say that this is a great lesson, and goes a long way to making clear something that I have found very difficult.
Thanks a million. John
Hola,
Re: Se la había comprado.
How can one tell when reading or hearing this sentence, - if it was a standalone sentence - that the “se” means the plural “les” .
For example if this sentence is entered in Reverso: “Se la abía comprado.” they translate it as “ I had bought it for "him”. So there’s no way to know from the sentence that it was bought for “plural someones”.
Would this conundrum ever happen in real life, i.e. in converstion or writing, or would it always be clear from the preceding sentence?
Thank you for your patience,
Nicole
John and you have green eyes.
"Juan y tu _______ los ojos verdes.
I chose "teneis" since "you and Peter" would be more correctly as "You (plural sense) and not "they", which kwizbot marked as "they". Why? Thanks
Regarding "After I tried so hard...", couldn't "Despúes de que me esforzara tanto..." be another acceptable answer?
I think this might be more common in written Spanish?
Saludos
Es una cuenta excelente, pero nos falta la conclusión!
Why “ello”? Despedida is feminine.
1. "Los históricos" seems to be an example of an adjective used as a noun? - [a feature of Spanish which may have been encouraged by its prevalence in Arabic, perhaps?]
2. I actually typed in "Las históricas" - because I thought that it was referring to las "estadísticas", and thus had to be feminine ?
Hola,
In the sentence "I could be Superman", is it more natural to say "yo podría ser Superman", or "yo sería Superman"?
Gracias,
