I get this message a lot :
You took this Kwiz 2 days, 20 hours ago.
This lesson is already in your notebook. Go to your notebook now to kwiz this topic as many times as you like.
Hola Inma, I have been trying to work out why both direct and indirect objects are present here.
I can't find a reference for a pronominal form of pensar, but on doing the exercise a second time, I noticed that the lesson for the se aspectual was listed as being relevant. Poder isn't given as one of the verbs that typically can take this construction, but does this explain why the reflexive pronoun is being used here, making the verb poder more "intense / complete" as explained in the example of "irse" in the lesson; .... or is there another explanation altogether. Espero que puedas ayudarme. Saludos. John
¿Tiene un bolígrafo?Do you have a pen? (formal you)
From the sentence, I think it means he/she has a pen. Why would it become do you have a pen?
In this construction, can the "se" also go at the end of the infinitive, like this:
No debe fumarse.
?
Thanks!
There was a sentence about monuments that was asking me for which form of "arabe" that I should have used. I put "arabes" but it was marked wrong and it said that it should be arabe - is that correct and are there any more adjectives like this that are invariable in both the singular and plural?
In the example below, why is it 'aprovechó' and not 'se aprovechó de'? It seems quite a negative context to me, and the context even seems to be leading us towards using the reflexive form by saying 'el muy egoísta'.
Rafa, [being] such an idiot, took advantage of the moment to break up with me. : Rafa, el muy egoísta, ___ la ocasión para romper conmigo.
Hola!
Quiero saber si los personas mexicano dicen "j" para "ll" y "y" o es un "y" sonido? Vivo en California y quiero sonar mas natural para mi comunidad. Gracias por todo!
(Sorry if my Spanish is broken, I just restarted learning)
Why is "Quiero un abrigo rosado" wrong? Don't rosa and rosado mean the same thing?
Part of a sentence in the above exercise says "Donde se encerraba a los enemigos del castillo" Should encerraba not be plural i.e. encerraban? Is it singular because " a los enemigos" is indirect? I'm confused. Why not fueron encerrados?
