The table formatting is bad so the third column can't be easily read. This problem exists in both chrome and safari.
The accent is on the wrong vowel in crepúsculo in the first line of text, as well as in the reported answer.
I miss the rationale behind this. is this something to learn 'by heart'? as in, just learn these exceptions and you're good to go?... or is there some reasoning, eg. that without the accent it would be pronounced wrong.. this because of ?
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?
I answered "alguno," but apparently the answer is "algunos." I don't understand why based on this quote from the lesson. Thanks!
"Sometimes, when alguno and alguna are used in affirmative sentences, it has the nuance of "some random something/someone", "one or two" or "the odd one". The idea is non-specific in number and can refer to one or more items. It does agree in gender but not in number: even if it refers to a plural noun, the pronoun is in the singular form, not the plural form."
If está is followed by an adjective & hay by a noun, why is it 'hay niebla' rather than 'está niebla'?
I just reviewed the A1 lesson on veces/vez in which "sometimes" equals "algunas veces," but in examples above, "sometimes" equals "a veces." Is there a difference? Is "a veces" simply a more convenient way of saying "algunas veces?" Thank you.
There's only sound for 2 of these words. The rest don't have an option to listen to them.
Hello, this lesson states that "Notice how for these verbs, -i- becomes -y- in all forms."
But I think that it is more correct to say that "a Y is added to the stem in all forms". Huir is an IR verb, so it's stem is HU, you aren't replacing an I.
Have I understood the lesson correctly?
