Like Alan, I was puzzled by the use of the subjunctive in some of your examples, particularly this one:
"Coge un par de plátanos, los que estén más maduros" - because to me it seemed that the speaker had indeed noticed that some of the bananas were riper than others. Maybe it makes sense, though, if s/he had not yet seen them - but in this latter case s/he would probably have said: "Coge un par de plátanos, preferentemente dos que estén más maduros" - [is that correct?]
I can understand the use of the subjunctive when it is referring to the future - e.g., your sentence-example which begins: Quienes lleguen… [because it is not yet known who will reach the top first].
I have received no emails from Kwiziq in the last week. (notifications of new Q&A answers, daily announcements, etc.) is it just me?
Hola a todos,
A huge thank you to Inma and all the other super teachers we have at our beck and call here in Kwiziq land. Inma et.al, you have the patience of saints!
My request: I have mentioned this before but feel that I need to bring it up again...
Please, when we are asking for assistance from the teachers can we all be mindful of 'manners'. A simple 'Hi', a 'please could you help me with...' and then just a simple 'thank you' in advance or when help has been given.
Gracias y saludos :)
I wonder if the chosen translation depends on the context?
Not really a question, but a statement! Now that I am halfway through level A2 I feel that the information that I need to form whole sentences is being taught, I have used other software in the past, but the depth of the courses in Kwiziq are amazing.
Please keep adding the content like you do, I feel I will be a lifetime client :-)
How could we get to know that this exact word is a stem changing verb? Isn’t there any recognition for them?
Hi, sometimes a blue pencil appears when I submit a question. What does it mean? Thanks, Shirley.
Hi all,
I have been given one week free from this website. Will I be automatically charged if I don't actively cancel the 'free 7 days'??
The link to "common colours" in this lesson is wrong. When I click on it, I just get taken back to the beginning of this lesson.
Instead of using the 'double negative' in "espero que no haya ningún accidente porque si no ..." - could we also say: "espero que no haya ningún accidente porque si lo hay, será peor"? - i.e., arguing that it sounds clearer to word it as: "I hope that there is no accident, because if there is [one] then it will be [even] worse"... In English, certainly, some thought would be necessary in order to work out the meaning of: "I hope that there is no accident, because if not then it will be [even] worse". I suppose this is really just a 'matter of taste' -[in both languages? - I have the impression that double negatives are a complicated topic in Spanish].
