A recent Kwiziq question asked:
¡Camarero! ________ dos vasos de agua, por favor.Waiter! Can we have two glasses of water please?HINT: Conjugate "traer" in the usted form of El Presente Subjuntivo
The correct answer was : traiga
However, I learned to ask for things by attaching the I.O.P to the end of the imperative/subjunctive, for instance: 'Tráeme una taza de café' or, more politely, 'Pongame una taza de café'.
So I wonder if in this question 'tráiganos' might not be more appropriate, or sound more natural?
When translating to a passive sentence, why is it "se come paella" and not "se comen paella", when people is a plural noun?
Es imposible ________ todo a la primera. It is impossible to understand everything at the first time.hi - I saw this question and thought ‘ es impossible’ would trigger the subjunctive, but the answer was the infinitive. If I click ‘explain this’ it takes me to the subjunctive page, which has ‘es imposible que’ - is the ‘que’ the only thing making it subjunctive then?

know whether tu or usted is required. Could it not be either, depending on the formality, which is not stated?
