I just wrote sonriais in a blank on a test and it marked my answer "almost right", and gave the right answer as "sonriáis".
I can tell you care about UX, so I would say there is too much clicking to move through this exercise. Maybe you could save the grading until the end, and just move from point to the next, or you could at least take out the self-grading requirement to move to next.
With respect to the question "Which of the following masculine adjectives are the same in the feminine form?" which provides six choices, does the lesson provide the necessary information to correctly identify which are the same in their feminine form? I have the sense I am not comprehending exactly what the lesson is trying to tell us.
(I think I know what the lesson is trying to say now--Would the question above be true if it were stated thus: "Which of the following masculine adjectives remain masculine when used with feminine nouns?")
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?
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.Is there a rule about when the "o" at the end of the 3rd person has an accent or not? It seemed that when "y" replaces the "i", there's no accent on the "o", but that doesn't work for oyó
EDIT: maybe only after "j" replacement is the "o" without an accent?
This is very poorly worded. Oír means to hear, NOT can hear NOR is able to hear, so why have you asked can hear in the question?
Now I don't know whether to use poder (conjugated) + oír or oír because I don't know whether you are asking me can hear or hear.
is there a rule if adjectives are before or after the noun?
Tengo dos hermosas hijas OR Tengo dos hijas hermosas?
The note above says "we use the definite article with the thing/s that one likes, unless we're talking about a place or a person". But one of the examples is "Les gusta la chica alta" - isn't "the tall girl" a person? Or do you just mean a person's name?
Why does changing g to j preserve the infinitive pronunciation?
