In this sentence "Yo le doy el periódico al portero ahora."
Why do you need "le" to say "I am giving the newspaper to the doorman?" Couldn't you say "Yo doy el periódico al portero ahora."
I am giving the newspaper to the doorman now.The combined verb with pronouns now has an accent [´] even if didn't have one as a simple imperative with no pronouns, this is to maintain the pronunciation of the original verb.
It seems to indicate that:
bien and mal go with estar
bueno and malo go with ser
but when I follow that as a "rule" I get it wrong. What am I missing please? What is the "reason" either goes with whatever?
Shouldn't this translate to "¿Queréis que Juan recitar un poema?"? However, in a kwiz, "¿Queréis que Juan recite un poema?", was the correct answer. But 'to recite' is in the infinitive.
"And the experience was horrible" "
Ya ha sido una experiencia horrorosa"
Why did we use "Perfecto" instead of "Imperfecto"? I'm so confused!
And also "El camping estaba muy sucio"
Can't we use "Era" here ???
I answered the question with the plural they form vienen and you marked it wrong and it wasn't wrong
Surely " foggy" is an adjective . The noun is " fog" ! So why not use "está " for " it is foggy " _
For the phrase: Van (Uds.) a enviar los premios a nosotros?
To answer this question negatively, would it become:
no nos vamos a enviarlos
no nos los vamos a enviarlos (does the combination of nos + los clash because of the similar sounds)
Thank you!
Question re: So as to not fall in the water.
Kwizbot para que no nos caigamos en el agua.
You para que no caernos en el agua.
You could also say: para no caernos en el agua.
Hola,
I was very curious to see that the “que” was dropped in the 2nd answer.
Could you please explain why? And why it is needed in the first sentence and would not be used in my answer.
Thank you so much!

Could you explain the distinctions between:
"Cristina sería una buena madre." "Cristina será una buena madre." "Cristina va a ser una buena madre."
I understand the difference between the first and the last, but I don't understand how the second version is distinct from those two.
