So, I'm trying to solidify this idea in my head by contrasting it with the imperfecto de subjuntivo. Is the subordinate clause not in the subjunctive here because the speaker (presumably the 3rd party and the person repeating the statement) take for granted the factual of the idea (ie in the sentence "el hombre de tiempo dijo que llovería hoy" that the idea that it is going to rain is considered a fact, and not a supposition.
"Cuando ella abra sus regalos en navidad a menudo tiene perfume."
This seems to describe something that has already happened many times. So why is it subjunctive "abra"
I haven't seen this use of "que" before.
Ya son las tres. Andando, que llegamos tarde. It's 3 already. Let's get a move on, we're late.
¡Corriendo que nos mojamos! Hurry up, we're getting wet!
I like this. Is there a lesson on it?
Why is Nos volvemos incorrect? Also, Would Nosotros volvemos be incorrect? The answer was simply Volvemos.
the answer is using las tartas que son...
but why cant we use this-¡Qué exquisito son las tartas de Marta!Hola,
I just have a general suggestion for these listening exercises.
When sentences are split in many parts I often forget what the first parts were and who or what actually the subject was. It would help immensely, if I could still see the first parts of the sentence, which I already solved, while I'm listening to the next part. Maybe you can think about introducing that at some time in the future.
Thanks!
Cuántos años tiene usted? - ________sesenta años. How old are you? - I am sixty.TengoTiene
I’m trying to unlearn or clarify some things about this verb. Could you comment on if these examples are correct or wrong and provide a short explanation? “A ti te gusta pollo?” “Me gusta pensar.” “Me gusta todo.” “Les gustan criticarme.” “A mi no me gustan ellos.” “Ellos no les gusta a mi.”
