Es imposible ________ todo a la primera. It is impossible to understand everything at the first time.hi - I saw this question and thought ‘ es impossible’ would trigger the subjunctive, but the answer was the infinitive. If I click ‘explain this’ it takes me to the subjunctive page, which has ‘es imposible que’ - is the ‘que’ the only thing making it subjunctive then?
Hello! Could you differentiate when you might use these two phrases? For example, if the sentence is - I am about to take a shower:
-Estoy a punto de ducharme
-Estoy para ducharme
Are these sentences saying the same thing or is there some nuance that I'm missing out on?
In the sentence: my girlfriend says that you will be worth it. Why would you use valdrás, instead of valdrá la pena? You are not valuing it, you are just worth it.
HI- It might be helpful to also clarify that you don't use a possessive when speaking of part of your body. For example: as shown above, "My leg hurts" would be translated as "THE leg hurts me" "Me duele LA pierna" ,
NOT as we would more commonly say in English, "My leg hurts me" "Me duele MI pierna".
¡Hola!
Could you please provide me with Spanish equivalents for modal structures of probabality:
-Must/might/may/could + be (+ V-ing);
past probabality:
-Must have/might have/may have/could have + past participle (+ V-ing);
and their negative forms
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Alexander
