Pensar sobreHi Inma, I read your response below to Anna’s question “en vs sobre” and noted that there are three more examples of the use of “sobre” in the lesson.
¿Qué pensáis vosotros sobre este tema?
Nosotros pensamos sobre la situación política del país.
¿Qué piensan ustedes sobre esta candidata?
It seems to me, as you indicate in your response below, that “pensar sobre” es associated with an opinion, but I’m not sure about the details.
“Qué + pensar + sobre” seems to be a construction to ask for an opinion, the same as we would in English. “What do you think about…”
I’m not sure about the example that begins with “Nosotros pensamos sobre…” but it seems to indicate that they are forming an opinion.
Is this correct? Thanks.
Hello, is there some connotation needed for this to trigger the Preterite? Like "These two centuries out of the 5000 years we're talking about"? Or at least "These two very specific centuries"? As opposed to "For two full centuries, which is pretty much forever", where I would have expected the Imperfect.
En el diccionario esta palabra no existe - solo herbívoras
Why wouldn't it be "no los respeta a sus hijos"?
Hola Inma y equipo,
As part of the 'All related grammar and vocab' list for this exercise, would I be right in saying that Inma's excellent lesson, that I've included here, should also be listed?
Using tener + participio to express the completion of an action (perífrasis verbal).
Gracias

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
Hello all, sorry if this is a long and unusal question..
Are there any professional teachers here, or professionals who have studied learning methods?
I am determined to get the very best from the software, but wonder if I am.
For example, i complete each of the "writing practice" exercises twice, back to back, which in my mind means that I am cementing my learning, but on the second run through I'm concerned that I may just have blindly memorised each answer. I do stop and research every part I get wrong if I don't see my mistake, but I'm still concerned I'm just being a parrot.
So, over to the professionals, what would you recommed for best learning practice in this software?
Thanks

Un bolígrafo también es una pluma. Si?
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.Find your Spanish level for FREE
