1:30 is more than 1:00. 1 = es. Me imagino que más que uno debe estar "son", no? Or are all hours plural even when they're not?
One of the examples is "Hiciste las maletas?" When or what country would I use the verb "empacar" instead of hacer to refer to "pack the bags?"
"Ella ha roto con él pero ________ así él sigue insistiendo.
She broke up with him but even so he keeps trying.
(HINT: aún or aun?)"
I've already forgotten which I picked, but I got it wrong. My confusion is that according to the lesson, both "aun así" and "aún así" mean "despite that". I can't think of a sentence in English where "even so" is not interchangeable with "despite that". It certainly seems like they are interchangeable in the quiz question above. Is there a nuance that I'm not grasping that explains why only one of the options is correct?
In a test question, I answered “Nosotros nos llamamos Ana y Maria” and was marked incorrect, with “Nos llamamos Ana y Maria” offered as the correct answer, yet.......your lesson on reflexive verbs uses nosotros nos in an example. I am aware that the pronouns can often be dropped but I feel a bit cheated given it is used in the lesson example and not accepted in my answer in the test question.
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.Just did this lesson and saw the word "cross". Although it does make sense in old English and some people will still understand the meaning, it is definitely not a word that is used a lot among English speakers today. I think "angry" would be a better word and would reduce the likelihood of someone not understanding what it means.
This sentence sounds more like do not come back with that girl... could I say No vueulvas a esa chica?
1. Yo no sabía que ellos ya conocían a nuestro sobrino.
2. Yo no sabía lo que ellos ya conocían a nuestro sobrino.
What it be if the sentence is "I didn't know what they already knew our nephew."
Thank you.
Regarding the examples below, why is the subjunctive used rather than the imperative?
No cierres la ventana por favor, tengo calor.
Don't close the window please, I am hot.
Señores, cierren las carpetas ahora.
Gentlemen, close your folders now.
Thank you, James
