How do you write the filling sentence using Ser format? The friends of Arkansas.
How do we know to use para ser vs para una?
Hola,
I came across this construction and I wasn't sure how to translate it. The use of the gerund does not follow any lesson I've seen. Is it similar to the "hacer/mandar + infinitive" construction?
Tienes un hijo criandose en el convento.
May I ask is there a unit explaining the expressions like "estar hasta las narices" "no tener dos dedos de frente" "dar la espalda" etc?
Why in the following example is ser used? I thought that the estar form would be used because cheerful is a an emotion or feeling. Wouldn't this indicate that the group is "always cheerful"?
Ustedes ________ muy alegres.
You are very cheerful.Dijeron que nos pagarían las horas extra trabajadas cuando ________ el mes.
They said they'd pay our overtime when it was the end of the month.
terminase
terminaba
terminó
termine
I don't understand why this sentence fits this lesson. Surely there cannot be much uncertainty that there will be an end to the month. Wouldn't this make more sense in the indicative?
How can you start the lesson with "Antes de que and Antes que are always followed by the subjunctive. For example:"
Then in the last part of the lesson give examples without the subjunctive. That's the opposite of always.
Got an answer wrong on a test, they said it was ordenador, I was only familiar with it as computadora
This question: "Dime ________ te vas a ir de aquí." I think this could be interpreted in two ways, but perhaps there are other grammatical considerations that mean only one works. If the sentence is intended to mean, "tell me now at what point in the future you are leaving here", then 'cuándo' seems correct. On the other hand, if what is meant is "at the future point in time that you are leaving here, tell me", then I *think* it would be 'cuando' with no accent?
Incidentally, I have been through several rounds with tech support and I still never receive notifications of new answers. I get notified when somebody likes my question and I get Shui's suggestion every day, but only twice have I ever gotten email notifications of answers to questions. I do appreciate that questions are now marked as having answers, although that doesn't really serve to notify if there are additional answers since last I checked.
