I answered "alguno," but apparently the answer is "algunos." I don't understand why based on this quote from the lesson. Thanks!
"Sometimes, when alguno and alguna are used in affirmative sentences, it has the nuance of "some random something/someone", "one or two" or "the odd one". The idea is non-specific in number and can refer to one or more items. It does agree in gender but not in number: even if it refers to a plural noun, the pronoun is in the singular form, not the plural form."
Is this an impersonal sentence?
The answer says "yes" but I think it can be "no". It seems more natural to translate this as "They have found a shipwreck on the beach." which could be a sentence from a story where "they" have been identified previously. Do you want us to answer "yes" for being "impersonal" whenever a sentence has no subject and uses third personal plural form of the main verb?
Why the speaker can see him/herself in this time frame? It's obvious that the speaker is talking about someone else.
Thank u so much
Is it possible to turn off the spanish vos form?
Why is the present subjunctive not more correct for the following sentence? The lesson says it should be the imperfect subjunctive...but I think this is incorrect; this would require it be "you have had" rather than "you have"
"Maybe you have lots of friends in England"
Hello,
I found the following sentence in a Spanish grammar book that I am studying: “Por que es azul el cielo?”
I thought the sentence would be: “Por que el cielo es azul?”
What kind of rule does the first sentence fall under and how would I know when to structure my sentences like that? For example, would this only happen with questions?
Muchísimas gracias!
Hello
I've run out of reading exercises before finishing A1. Are you planning to add more? I try and do one in my daily session. They're very interesting and helpful. More please! : )
Thank you
This is one of the questions that I think is poorly expressed in this lesson, and again is contrary to what your own "quick lesson" presents. My answer of "una poca simpatía" was marked incorrect, yet it is the more commonly used version, again according to your own "quick lesson." I do not see the point of frustrating students with information that they are unlikely to hear.
