1)
ine: and you have to pay for the ticket.
I wrote: y tu debes pagar el boleto.
but none of the answers gave this as a possible answer.
Is there something I'm missing as I thought it means: you must...(do something) as in:
b. have to (SpanishDict.com)
Ya sabes que debes ponerte la corbata para ir al colegio.
You know you have to wear your tie to go to school.
2)
Also in the same exercise:
Line: I would like to visit Medellín next year.
I wrote: Me gustaría visitar Medellín el año proximo.
But none of the answers take this verb into account, but go with the verb: Querer:
Quiero visitar Medellín el próximo año.
Would this not also be a way of saying "I'd like to go" or should the English have been: "I want to go" and that there is
possibly an error here?
Thank you,
Nicole
Hello,
are there other ways to say "at all" in Spanish ? I sometimes see "in absoluto" or "de nada".
Thank you very much !
Don't you mean the SECOND vowel changes to IE?
In the test, the sentence 'No es verdad que ________ siempre los papeles al suelo.' gave the answer as 'tiremos', and marked 'tiramos' as incorrect. So does this mean that if you present something as true, you use the indicative, but if you say something is not true, or that the truth is a negative, you use the subjunctive? I thought, in saying it is not true, the sentence was presenting something as a fact, and therefore the indicative would apply.

One of the quiz examples translates They achieved the objectives for the year. using el preterito indefinido.
My first thought would be that this sentence would fall under the "in the same time period" rule and end up being el preterito perfecto (rule is at this link) link When to use the perfect tense versus the simple past (Perfecto vs Indefinido)
I am curious how I can tell (other than the hint given in the exercise) that this should be indefinido.
Thanks.
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?
Hello, why is suficiente after comida ? thanks !
Why not "Ni que me fueses" it is not as though YOU (2nd familiar), or is another interpretation: "It is not as though I am going to ruin myself"? i.ei a reflexive form.
