In the second example, Nosotros redecoramos la casa hace unos meses, given that the intended meaning is "our house," why isn't it written "nuestra la casa. . ?" Thanks.
in one of the examples,
Verás, el chico se va a enfadar y va a coger y le va a dar un puñetazo.
You'll see, the guy is going to get cross and he's going to go and give him a punch.
where does 'se va + a' comes from? is this irse with other meanings?
Could you direct me to the appropriate lesson?
thanks
Ayer fui a la piscina y ________ la toalla? Specifically why "se me olvidé" is wrong.
Estoy seguro de que cuando abriste esta tienda, no pensaste que llegaría el día en el que un cliente te daría un billete de mil dólares.
Despues de "no pensaba que" o "no pense que". Condicional o imperfecto de subjuntivo?
never mind, I see what I did wrong (i do not see a way to delete a question)
Hola, mi amiga dijo "este domingo no pudo ser más lindo". ¿Tiene el mismo significado que este domingo no podría haber sido? Me pareció rara la frase. Parece que a ella no le gustó este domingo, pero la verdad que sí. Es de Argentina, así que quizás sea cuestión de dialecto no sé.
I read elsewhere that when quedar is used to express the idea of ending up in an emotional or physical state, it does not require reflexive pronoun. Is this accurate ? So if I have a scenario of 2 persons fighting and the one of them left a mark on the second and it left him standing still from the shock. Do we use ‘se queda inmóvil’ or ‘queda inmóvil’ ?
What is wrong with "Teníamos que usar cascos de protección" . I have heard many people use "usar" for to wear.
In this question I answered "éramos" instead of "fuimos" since the text referred to "used to be." Why was that wrong? I get that the "completed action in the past" hint confused the situation. Shouldn't the question be clarified, or am I missing something here?
Nosotros ________ muy buenos estudiantes.We used to be very good students.(HINT: Refers to a completed action in the past.)
From the lesson:
"Note that while "fue" is generally translated into "was" in English, "era" can be translated into "was", "used to be" and "would be"."
