I am a Gemini

"I am a Gemini" would be a better English translation for this exercise. I use standard American English. :)

Isn’t it correct to use either un altitud as well as una altitud because even though altitud is feminine, it starts with a stressed ‘a’?

Has de saber, que ocupan 1.800 metros cuadrados.......

Hola Inma,

I'm not familiar with this construction "Has (Hacer) de."

I have looked it up (WordReference) but can't reconcile the meanings that they provide, with the phrase in this exercise.

Can you help with it please?

Saludos

John

Haber de + infinitive instead?

Hi there! One of the quizzes asks for the correct phrase in the following sentence:

Las aceitunas ________ en septiembre. (The olives must be harvested in September.)

Would it not be possible to use "han de recolectar" here instead of "deben ser recolectadas"?
