Hola,
In a show a character says "La muerte de mi hija no iba ser una excepción." Why is it "no iba ser" rather than "no iba a ser"? What is the grammatical rule here?
Muchas gracias!
My understanding is that 'Imperative' is a mood, not a tense, the other moods being 'indicative' and 'subjunctive'.
'Passve' and 'Active' are 'voices'.
2nd paragraph: Is there a lesson that discusses "que" used to mean "to be?"
I searched on "que" and got 1620 hits, so I scanned the first 60 and did not see "que" and "to be" in any lesson title.
When use esta or es?
and consists of a wooden box,
Kwizbot y está formada por una caja de madera,
You y consiste en una caja de madera,
I read the lesson attached to this, but was wondering if the verb "consistar" can ever be used in this context, and if so/or not?
why and how would it be used?
Thank you.
This sentence sounds more like do not come back with that girl... could I say No vueulvas a esa chica?
In the lesson, I answered the question, Maria, ___ es bastante seria normalmente cantó en público ayer, with ,"la que". It was marked incorrect, with "que" being shown as correct. I thought they were interchange.
Hola,
Just to confirm, although I think it is implied already - formal usage is with le/les?
Gracias,
Let's see -at what moment in time?- you find a good job!
Let's see - at the time that- you find a good job!
As you can see both options work in this context, and I can use lots of examples like this but to understand the difference we need sentences which cannot work as both options
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."
