Hola Inma,

Passive/impersonal

If one wanted to say: "Police officers are needed at the bank entrance"

One can say: "Se necesitan policías en la entrada del banco."

In sentences like this can "policías" ever precede the verb? (ie "Policías se necesitan..."

Structure in Pasado Imperfecto

Hola,

Is it possible to convert this structure into the past tense, as if I was telling a story in the continuous past:

Hacía tres meses que Nuria vivía en California.

Or does this structure only work in the present?

Gracias,
Stuart

Mi descubierta

Yo creo que la palabra ella es una combinación de las palabras el y la. Similarmente, la palabra ellos es una combinación de las palabras el y los y también la palabra nosotros es una combinación de las palabras nos y otros y también la palabra vosotros es una combinación de las palabras vos y otros. Me parece que son similares con el tipo de palabras en inglés llamada contracciones. Yo espero que yo tengo razón pero no estoy seguro de este. Por favor me explique.

The sample sentences in all of the lessons are too fast even for advanced students

The sample sentences in all of the lessons are too fast when the sentences are long and complex, even for advanced students. I have to use a separate text to speech app at a slightly reduced speed in order to fully understand them. They are not just speaking at normal speed, but at a very high speed. (In my considered opinion)
thank you, James

question about using cientos/as

Your explanation says that whole hundreds AFTER 200 agree with the noun it precedes, but doesn´t 100 also?

I.e. hay cientas diez chicas?

If not what would be the correct answer?
