Hello,
The word "dificil" in "El viento fuerte sopla hacia ti y es dificil caminar."
should have an accent: difícil?
Paracaídas not paracaidas
In the example, the direct object was being called for. Why use the "le" form, then?
Am I right in thinking that this form of relative cannot be used at all after a preposition?
Using El Pretérito Imerfecto in the Gabriel example above seems incorrect/confusing to me, also. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the imperfect here indicate a general inability to do something, like Gabriel just didn't know how to put the key in the keyhole (incidentally, the sentence should read "key in the keyhole", "keyS in the keyholeS", or "key in the keyholeS" if a single key fits two locks), which seems highly unlikely? It seems to me that El Pretérito Indefinido is more appropriate because: Gabriel didn't manage/succeed in putting the key in the keyhole, and we are referring to a specific moment in the past and the time when it happened is relevant.
In the "Examples and Resources" section I found this incorrect translation:
En la mañana ordeno mi dormitorio.
In the afternoon I tidy up my bedroom.Why is the (se) in parentheses in the title of the lesson? Every example is reflexive. Would one ever use a non-reflexive quedar in this context? (If not, it seems like the parentheses aren't needed, no?)
Why do we use the subjunctive here when something is unknown, but when we use 'aunque' it is the other way around? By that, I mean that we only use the subjunctive when the information is shared and the indicative is used to introduce new information.
