One of the sentences top practise this lesson is "Instrumentos africanos han sido tocados por los músicos". A lot of Spaniards told me to rather not place the subject first when it has no article, as it wouldn't sound good in there opinion. Could I alternatively say "han sido tocados instrumentos africanos ...", or doesn't this work?
In the sample question "Cuando vuelva Carlos, dile que quiero hablar con él." why is "quiero" not in the subjunctive tense? Didn't we learn in a different lesson than if a verb comes after 'que' that switches subject that it should be subjunctive?
Hola,
Are we saying here that the use of 'de' is optional?
Gracias,
Bear in mind, though, that when this is used with the verb tener or haber, then you can add "de". For example:
Esa historia no tiene nada de particular.No había nada de irónico en mis comentarios.
Is "ll" pronounced "ya?"
Notice how for all these verbs, the vowel -e- from the infinitive that is closer to the end of the word becomes -i- except in the nosotros and vosotros forms.
Listen to these examples :
Ha dicho eso para que nos sintamos mejor.
He said that to make us feel better.
No os sintáis obligados a venir.
Don't feel obliged to come.
No mintamos más.
Let's not lie any more.
Is the wording correct, should "except" be deleted here?

My friend, that I correspond with from Costa Rica added it into my name. So Alishita, does this have a meaning?
I don't hear the S at the end of nuestros when the speaker says nuestroS recuerdos. Am I just failing to hear it, or is it in fact silent?
