Spanish language Q&A Forum

Hi Inma, a suggestion, give an example with decir. Or would this be incorrect? E.g. Le dijo a ella. He told her. (She is affected in some way by him telling her). 

Why does the use the preterite perfect rather than the simple preterite? 

Sorry, i found the answer in the lesson.

Not sure why the subjunctive mood is apparently triggered by Aún in thefirst line? Is it because the sentence refers to something that has not actually happened?

Kevin

Me alegra que ellos sean los primeros. 

Why is this subjunctive? Is it because it comes after "que"? This sentence doesn't seem to express any doubt about their being the first. 

Could I say "me alegra que ser el primero?" if I were talking about myself or would I have to write "me alegra que yo sea el primero"? 

Just curious, does the intonation of the voice rise at the end of the sentence with this type of usage of "que" as it does in yes or no questions in Spanish? 

Or, does it fall, as in declarative sentences in Spanish.

Ex. Que tienes novio?   Does voice rise at end as with a yes/no question or drop as in a statement.

Thanks!

Philip

Why does changing g to j preserve the infinitive pronunciation?
