A comment on this subject after spending an hour researching itThe instructions in the link say:
The choice of tense depends on whether the speaker is "still inside" the "unit of time" that's being used or implied:
Use the present perfect ("he ido") form when talking about the past:
- today, this week, this month, or this year
Use the indefinido ("fui") form when talking about the past:
- yesterday, last week, last month, or last year (or further back)
But then an example on the lesson page has this:
Ellos han visto el amanecer.
They saw the sunrise.
In this sentence, as with many of the quizzes, there is no way to know the context and so we have to follow the instructions as to which tense to use. Part of the fun of the quizzes is not reading the directions.
I think this is the root of the frustration here. Perhaps if more context were provided we could have a chance of answering without the addition direction needed.
Why couldn't the answer be, "Pudieras haber perdido" since it was hypothetical and you didn't actually lose your job?

I don't understand why money would be considered an "uncountable" noun. Unless on is a gazillionaire, one can certainly count how much money one has.

In this question (I waited for them), it appears to me that "them" is an indirect object pronoun. Below, Gruff, a Kwiziq team member says this. However, this question is answered by using a direct object pronoun. I got it wrong when I used the indirect pronoun. Which is it? I would appreciate having this clarified as I keep getting this question and I don't know how to answer it. Thanks,
At " Con la nueva red 5G, podrán acceder a Internet", why is it 'a Internet' and not 'al Internet'?
Also, how do i know when and where to use a passive se sentence Instead of a regular simple future tense as seen here: "los coches automáticos se controlarán" ? I was going to say 'los coches automáticos controlarán' without the se.
¡Hola! ¿Por qué usamos el verbo "toques" aquí? ¿No debería usar "toca" si estamos dando un consejo (tú afirmativo)? Supongo que esto es porque estamos dando un comando negativo, es decir "nunca toques" significa el mismo que "no toques". ¿Es correcto? Si es así, creo que una lección correspondiente debería estar vinculada a la oración (Forming the Spanish imperative of tú/ vosotros/vosotras (negative commands)).
Hi,
I have just completed an A1 test where the missing word(s) were required in this sentence:
Siempre ________ confundo haciendo este ejercicio.
The hint was that the reflexive verb 'confundirse' was used.
My answer was 'Siempre yo me confundo ...' and was marked wrong. The correct answer dropped the 'yo'. Is that correct? Surely, both answers are correct, although mine may not be commonly spoken.
Best regards,
Colin
Hello and I hope you are all doing and staying well!
In English they say that becoming proficient with transitive and intransitive verbs further includes knowing how they function with direct and indirect objects.
1) I'm wondering if this applies as well in Spanish and if so
2) how can we use this and which lessons cover this particular subject.?
Thank you for your help.
