Can I switch the two parts of the sentence and keep the basic structure of each clause and keep the meaning? For example, instead of "Haciendo unos muebles de madera me corté con la sierra.", could I say: "Me corté con la sierra haciendo unos muebles de madera."
In the test you say the situation is hypothetical but the answer is in the future tense. Shouldn't it be in the subjunctive?
Wouldn't that sentence better translate to "Maria eats little bread."?
And "Maria doesn't eat much bread." better translate to "María no come mucho pan."?
So the right answer to this was marked conozco. Why isn't it conozca?
Creo que no te conozco. ¿Cómo te llamas?
(I don't think I know you well. What's your name?)
Is a good definition of soler "to be in the habit of (doing something)"?
Thank you
The lesson says that gustaría is only used in the third person singular. However, what if the things that would be liked are nouns, not verbs. Wouldn’t the plural be used to reflect this, as an example “nos gustarían unas cervezas” - we would like some beers?
Ese hombre me recuerda mucho a mi padre. Tiene los mismos ojos.
That man reminds me of my dad. He has the same eyes.
La escena de amor en la película me recuerda a nuestra primera cita.
The love scene in the movie reminds me of our first date.
Both of these examples use "me recuerda a"
In the quiz:
El olor de esta comida ________ mi niñez.
The smell of that food reminds me of my childhood.
The answer is: me recuerda
Could you please explain why the "a" is omitted in this example?
What am I missing? The lesson says that all three options are interchangeable, but the test result says that I got it almost correct when I chose "podía haber reducido" instead of "podría haber reducido."
Hola Inma
Are any of these suffixes interchangeable or are they noun/verb/adjective specific. For example could you say "perrote," or "perrón" as well as "perrazo."
Saludos. John
