I looked on Wiktionary and noticed that ‘prediccion ‘ means ‘prediction’ in Spanish. When I took the quiz, why was ‘pronostico’ the correct answer?
Hola Inma,
When referring to 'around' a given time, is 'a eso de' the only way to express an approximate time?
Gracias y saludos
Esto me hizo reír...
¡Tantos tamaños diferentes y todo depende de donde estés! Me da igual porque no me gusta la cerveza, jajaja. Me pregunto, ¿Es así con el vino? Espero que no! El vino es mi bebida favorita...una copa de tinto, pero nunca querría un litro! :))
Gracias por este ejercicio informativo.
So can this same construction be used with nunca, but just not with the same level of emphasis?
In the sample sentences "¿Pudiste contactar con tu abogado?" and "¿Has podido contactar con Gabriel?" are there contextual clues that explain why one is indefinite and the other is perfect? Do they have different meanings?
I used the imperfect subjuntive - "'Es sorprendente lo lejos que viniera este artista en su carrera" Why gave you used the preterite? I've looked up the phrase Es sorprendente and it does say it will take the subjunctive as is an impersonal phrase.
Es sorprendente lo lejos que este artista llegó en su carrera
Creo que la mujer no dice bien el "ir" de Irlanda.
Good morning,
Could you please help me with the decision process for which tense to use for questions like:
- The journey was difficult.
- It was easy to learn the language.
Thank you very much!
Susan
All these verbs are present tense + present subjunctive. Can I use the same construction with the conditional, in those cases where we are “softening” a request?
Such as: “Yo prefería que regreses más pronto.”
Or does that need a different structure? Thank you!
