Dear Inma / Silvia,
A small thank you - It was great to see the example of the English subjunctive at the beginning of this lesson because it really helped everything to fall into place.
Saludos. John
As buen is an adjective, why can it not be used with es? Eg: es buen.
Hola,
I'm wondering about the use of traer in some of the example sentences. I had thought it was used when the speaker was at the place where something is being brought to; otherwise we use llevar? Wouldn't we say 'Ellos llevan al perro al parque'?
Gracias,
Jess
"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 ???
Inma, in your answer to Sierra, you said "Your answer is correct using the article." But as Sierra correctly said in her question, "Él" in this case is a prounoun, not the article "el".
Hola Inma,
Would "ocurrió" be an acceptable alternative here?
Saludos
John
I wish there were comprehension questions at the end. It’s annoying that there’s no way to “complete” the reading exercises like the writing and listening ones.
Looking at: "... fue la capital del Califato … que fue proclamado por Abderramán III en 929" > My first thoughts were that AbdulRahman III had perhaps proclaimed Córdoba as his capital in 929 AD, which would have required "proclamada" to agree with the feminine noun "capital". Then I remembered that he had actually declared himself [very controversially !] to be "the Caliph of all Muslims, everywhere" (including those in Baghdad, and Syria, and even those in the Fatimid Empire in North Africa !) - so "proclamado" presumably agrees with "Califato"?
As I'm sure Inma knows, Seville was the first capital of Al-Ándalus [was it?], and Abdul-Rahman the First transferred his seat of power to Córdoba in 766 AD.
In a quiz the question: How would you say "His name is Alan"? was marked incorrect when I answered: Te llamas Alan. It looks like this is correct. Am I missing something_
