I thought it had to be 'cuándo' - but I was incorrect !(A comment, not a question; I made a mistake in my translation, and I now see why I went wrong) >
I had to scratch my head a bit to see why there is no tilde in 'cuando' in the sentence [in the text]:
"Aún recuerdo cuando teníamos que revelar los carretes" [= I still remember when we had to develop rolls of film ...]
-- particularly after noticing the example: "No recuerdo cómo tomas el té ..." [= I can't remember how you take your tea ...] -- in: Difference between cómo and como in Spanish (with and without an accent)
I now realise that, in order to carry the tilde, the 'cuándo' or the 'cómo' must be part of an indirect question - which is indeed the case with the second example, but not the first.
Inma, Shui and Silvia - you do indeed provide us with interesting and useful exercises and explanations: Keep up the good work!
Hi, I can't find a good translation for "anima al paciente y su cuerpo sana antes."
Can anyone help?
When using the de + infinitive construction, does the tense used in the main clause indicate the level of probability? Eg present = possible, future = less possible, conditional = very unlikely/impossible?
When is use of de + infinitive preferable to using the conditional si construction?
Wishing all the Kwiziq team and all the students here a very Happy Christmas and all the best for the New Year!
¡Feliz Navidad! :))
Could it be used with he comprado instead of compro?
I thought long and hard before answering this onr. Although it fits the patter nor using sino que, if is a correctionof the first statement, the second statement is a contrast: something practical rather than something material. It is ambiguous depending on the circumstances and "pero" can be used following both positive and negative first statements.

Hi, is it an idea for a change in your software in order for example if there is a single sentence like in the above "nosotros seguimos el rastro del asesino" you could just click on it and it gets transferred to the notebook along with the vocals. Alot of the time I don't need the whole lesson to be put into the notebook. Also it would be smoother/slicker that way rather than put the sentence manually in the notebook. Also with manual imput you do not get the vocals.
How do we know if a noun is masculine or feminine in Spanish if it a new word to us? Is there a clue I am missing or is it just a guess?
I am confused because we are practicing the present tense of the verb but why are the examples in the present continuous?
