In this sentence from the exercise: "Él es muy famoso, expone en muchas galerías y museos y tiene muchos premios."
The word "muchas" is feminine, but since it seems to include "museos" I was thinking it might be "muchos". Is it a rule that the first in a series determines the gender, or was this done to say "many galleries and (some) museums"?
Tu tienes should be correct as it refers to you. Tiene refers to he/she
Instead of translating the English as a negation, translating it "as if you knew how to make a fried egg!" (for example), it's still completely clear that the response is meant to imply that the other person does *not* know how to fry an egg. I don't think this even qualifies as sarcasm.
“María’s family are happy” is given as the translation to “La familia de María está contenta”.
This didn’t sound right to me so I googled and found this- https://style.mla.org/verbs-with-collective-nouns/
The reference would suggest that the translation should be ”María’s family is happy” as the members of the family are in agreement.
Any comments would be helpful. Thank you.
Va a estudiar medicina por seguir la tradición familiar.
Le dieron el trabajo por ser el primo del director.
I think these sentences would be better translated as:
She is going to study medicine because it's the family tradition.
He was given the job for being the manager's cousin.
Disregard my Why preguntar question. Sorry.
Hola Inma,
I don't understand the use of subjunctive here: "Nunca hubiera pensado". Why not había pensado ?
