As an English speaker, it is very difficult to learn and apply indirect objects in Spanish.
I understand why you need les in the following sentence. It is because you are making dinner "for them." However is there an easy way to remember this construction when you are actually talking. I seem to understand it when I read it, but don't seem to be able to apply indirect objects when I try to speak. Is this common? How do I overcome it? It is like you are saying for them twice. Once as the pronoun "les" and once as "a nuestros invitados.
Nosotros les preparamos la cena a nuestros invitados.We are cooking dinner for our guests.
can we only use "lo suyo" if it refers to something mentioned before? ie we cannot say "eso sería lo suyo" as a stand alone sentence?
Tiene and usted tiene
Both are correct, as the usted is optional to phrase in the sentence.
But it is marked incorrect. Grammatically it is correct, so I believe it shouldn't be marked incorrrect.
Hola Inma! Why we said para el ninos not por el ninos? I am still getting confused between both of them. Thank you!
I'm sure we all value the great work Inma, Silvia and the rest of the team do in answering all the questions we put to them on the Q&A Forum. I do. For me, this adds a lot to what makes Kwiziq such a valuable learning resource.
So, I think it would be a great idea to be able to add these replies to a seperate notebook. This would not only allow for revision, but also give me some reference to go every time I think, "Hmmm, I'm sure someone gave me a really useful answer on this already!"
Hi,
I got the following question in a test:
Tuvimos muy buenas experiencias en ________ juventud.
We had very good experiences in our youth.
(HINT: Choose the right word having in mind the ending of the noun)
The two possible answers were twice "nuestra", but one of them is marked wrong when chosen.
"El descuento está a 20% (ahora)". Is this a correct way to use this kind of costruct?
Thank you as always!
In the beginning of the story, using present perfect was clear because she is saying that her best friend has come to visit. Afterwards, when she is narrating what they did each day, we have specific time (the day mentioned) and what they did which to me seems to be how we use preterite for a specific time (day) in the past, so it is confusing to see present perfect for specific time events in the past. Can you please explain why you continued to use pr. perfect and did not switch to another tense. To me (the "has come" in the beginning) would have been more appropriate with what they are going to do in the future since she mentions that "they have made tons on plans."
Can you please explain when to use the future perfect vs the forms of deber in this lesson? Do they all mean the same thing or are there distinct use cases?
I choose both correct answers and also trabajas. What was it incorrect/
