I bet you can't drive 100 miles per hour.
This is what all the sentences look like to choose an answer:
Me apuesto a que no puedes conducir a 100 mi....
The sentence is too long and I can't pass this kwiq because all the words don't show up. Please shorten the response to a phrase such as "100 millas por hora" instead of the entire sentence.
Maybe just worth pointing out that in the sentences with "a" the preposition is used in two different ways:
- as a "normal" preposition, for example, indicating motion: "El partido al que fui"
- as a "personal a", where there is a direct object (Los cantantes a los que los fans adulaban) but where "a" is needed because the object is personal.
I think that's so, isn't it?
I know that it's not the topic of this lesson, but in the sample sentence "Luis y Marta se han vuelto una pareja aburrida," the translation given is "Luis and Marta have become a boring couple." Why not "Luis and Marta have become a bored couple"?
In the example ' Segun lo que me dijo Manuel, todo parecia ir bien' the verb is translated in the present tense. Isn't 'parecia' the imperfect?
Hello,
Please would you point me to a lesson or explain briefly why "voy a comprarme" is used rather than "voy a comprar". Is it just clarification that I'm buying a house for me, rather than some random person, or is it absolutely needed?
Many Thanks
When we write objects after the verb, do we always write them in the order Direct Object followed by Indirect Object, like this?
(Les) cantaron una canción a Pedro y Pablo por su despedida.
Or can we change the order like this:
(Les) cantaron a Pedro y Pablo una canción por su despedida.
Thanks.
PS How can I find my answered questions? I don't seem to be getting notifications.

Hi, re “si sigues”, is there a lesson on use of present subjunctive after si? I searched but didn’t find one. Saludos, Shirley.
Got an answer wrong on a test, they said it was ordenador, I was only familiar with it as computadora
La Kwiziq FAQ me dice que puedo "kwiz" un tema tanto"s veces que quiero si está en mi "notebook." He encontrado que si toma un "kwiz" y lo falla, cuando quiero tomarlo otra vez dice "You took this Kwiz XXX hours, XX minutes ago.
This lesson is already in your notebook. Go to your notebook now to kwiz this topic as many times as you like.
Puedo hacer cliq en "my notebook" y encontrar la lección que quiero estudiar y kwiz más. Pero dice lo mismo al fondo - que ya he tomado el Kwiz y tengo que ir a mi notebook si quiera kwiz otra vez. Excepto ya estoy en mi notebook. ¿Qué pasa? ¡Gracias!
Could it ever be correct to say "Compré un nuevo ordenador nuevo" to express that it was both new to me and brand new? If not, how would you express that. This can be confusing in English as well.
