Este se negó a entregárselo. What does Este mean here? I know it means usually means “this”.
Thanks a lot,
Shirley.
Hola,
I think "jugo de naranja y zanahoria" should be also an accepted answer because they seem to use the word "jugo" in Latin America.
Thanks,
Daria.
I have read the answer given to Ralph. At the very least this is a VERY bad example to give in a lesson. The answer demonstrates that either tense could be used depending on the message the writer wishes to convey.
"Mathematics" can be taken as a singular noun. Therefore it seems that a correct format in Spanish would be
"te gusta mathematics".
The test asked to translate "I like white wine" to Spanish, but indicated "Me gusta el vino blanco" was the correct answer. The English sentence seemed unspecific to me, as though the speaker was making a general statement about a category of wine they liked. To add an article seems to imply the speaker likes a specific kind of wine ("I like the white wine"). Is this the same implication in Spanish? Could one say "me gusta vino blanco"? Or is an article always required, and unspecific preferences would require "un/una"?
Thank you.
Hello! I always get mixed up on when to use unos vs algunos vs varios. Can you either give a super-quick review or point me to a resource that contrasts these forms? Thanks so much!
I’m not quite clear about the use of the ‘se tardan’ plural. The examples given are with a plural number of hours/minutes. Are the time units the ‘subject’ of the passive? In other words if the time was one hour or one minute, could you still use the plural verb? Or is there some other rule that indicates singular or plural? Or are they just equivalent?
I would translate quería as I wanted or was wanting. Thank you.
