I would like to ask how often is El Presente used to indicate future action in comparison to other future tenses?
I don't understand the construction of the sentence: You do not have my permission to talk to me this way
“no te consiento que me hables así” surely implies: I do not permit you to talk to me this way
Is this wrong:
Tú no tienes mi permiso para hablar conmigo así.
May I ask is there a unit explaining the expressions like "estar hasta las narices" "no tener dos dedos de frente" "dar la espalda" etc?
The question asked for the vosotros form, which I'm not even studying, and then the answer was for ustedes.
I keep getting these questions wrong and I think it’s down to not being able to differentiate between whether a word is an adjective or a noun. Is there any way to tell of a word is a noun or an adjective without knowing the direct translation for that word?
Hola! Tengo una pregunta sobre la otra traducción para esa frase. Podríamos decir que "más que" significa como "more than" en inglés? Como "Te extraño más que nunca" --> "I miss you more than ever"? O no tengo razón en esa traducción (en inglés)?
Muchísimas gracias y que tenga un buenísimo día!
I saw the following on a back machine recently ‘ puedes operar con cualquiera de las tarjetas de crédito’. How does this fit with the contents of this lesson please
I'm confused about the use of imperfect tense (éramos) in this sentence below, rather than preterite (fuimos). I understand the knocking on the door as a specific, completed action that took place at a specific point in time, which I understand as characteristic of preterite (We knocked on the door/It was us who knocked on the door.). I understand the use of imperfect to discuss ongoing, continuous actions, so I'm confused in this example, because a knock is not an ongoing action that continues over time. I'm sure I'm missing something in my understanding; I'd appreciate some advice! Gracias!
