Hello,
When is a noun regular and when is it irregular?
Nouns that end with an -o or -a are regular and everything else is irregular?
Why is it "fue (indefinido) muy emocionante" but "mis contrincantes eran (imperfecto) muy bueno"?
And why is it "fue muy emocionante" rather than "estaba / estuve muy emocionante"? There is a lesson entitled "Using estar (not ser) when talking about emotions".
Is there any guidance at all as to which of the accepted placement options is preferred in a given situation? Is the choice totally down to the speaker? Which option is/are most commonly used?
If I understand this right, this conditional tense can be used both for what was possible/probable in the past as well as for what could be/would be for the future?
I am used to seeing this tense in sentences such as
¿Podría llamarme mañana?
Could you call me tomorrow?/ Would you be able to call me tomorrow?
A grammer question:
I have been a member of- he sido miembro del...
Why there is no uno like in English - he sido uno miembro (this sentence is a mistake).
The test question and answer does not seem to make sense for this lesson about the al contraction. The question was: Tenemos que ir ________ estación de Atocha en Madrid. We need to go to Atocha station in Madrid.
First, "We need" is necisitamos. Tenemos que is "We have to"
Second, this is a question about the al and del contractions, but the answer to this question is "a la" so I do not understand the test question.
Why does Aunque SEA por uno minutos or Aunque ESTEMOS encerrados use subjunctive?
Why is it not correct to use El Subjuntivo de Presente here, when the sentence starts with creo que? All the possible answers used Futuro instead.
I bet you can't drive 100 miles per hour.
This is what all the sentences look like to choose an answer:
Me apuesto a que no puedes conducir a 100 mi....
The sentence is too long and I can't pass this kwiq because all the words don't show up. Please shorten the response to a phrase such as "100 millas por hora" instead of the entire sentence.
I used "mirar" and that was corrected to "ver". Is the difference somewhat the same as the difference between "watch" and "see"?
