How would you say the noun "width" in spanish? I have seen the word "ancho" used as a noun for width but I thought that the word "ancho" was a adjective. Can "ancho" be used as both a noun and an adjective? I have also seen the word "anchura" used as "width", but it seems to be less common?
In the beginning of the story, using present perfect was clear because she is saying that her best friend has come to visit. Afterwards, when she is narrating what they did each day, we have specific time (the day mentioned) and what they did which to me seems to be how we use preterite for a specific time (day) in the past, so it is confusing to see present perfect for specific time events in the past. Can you please explain why you continued to use pr. perfect and did not switch to another tense. To me (the "has come" in the beginning) would have been more appropriate with what they are going to do in the future since she mentions that "they have made tons on plans."
Could you use something like 'Me fío plenamente de él' instead of 'confío plenamente en él'? I know the hint said to use the pronoun 'I'; would it sound unnatural to say 'Yo me fío plenamente de él'?
This lesson seems to be completely ambiguous: sentir - "what" we feel.
sentirse - "how" we feel, not what we feel.
Cada vez que veo esa película siento escalofríos. How do I feel? - "shivery"
Ella siente pena por la gente pobre. How do I feel? - "sympathetic"
Me siento emocionada por la generosidad de la gente. - What do I feel? - "emotion"
Surely there has to be a better set of rules for differentiating sentir from sentirse.
HELP
Hi, when will these exercises be fixed? It has been several days now. Thanks for a great app.
It seems to me that telling someone else that their own car works beautifully would indicate that the knowledge is shared and thus subjunctive (funcione) but that was marked incorrect. Please clarify.
Hola,
RE: what this means: [the] when used
It talked about the use of [the] colours
I was wondering what is the meaning of the use of brackets [ ] and ( ) in these tests.
Sometimes it seems that this means that the word in brackets is used in Spanish, but if I remember correctly,
sometimes it does not mean this.
So if there is a way to find out what these means and any others, would be very appreciated.
Thank you.
Also wishing you the best in this New Year to you and your team!
Nicole
