This is more of a complaint that a question. There is confusion in tense nomenclature. What is often referred to here as Pretérito Perfecto is really Pretérito Perfecto Compuesto.
The Pretérito Perfecto Simple is referred to Pretérito Indefinido. The action in the Pretérito Perfecto Simple has definitely been "perfected". When doing quizzes quickly I often make a mistake when the Pretérito Perfecto is asked for. It would be nice if a uniform terminology were used in the teaching of Spanish
Hello, my question is regarding the use of “les” for “you” rather than “you all”. It makes sense to me to use “le” for the formal usted and then “les” for the formal “you all” but I was never taught to use “les” for a singular person. The example I am referring to is:
Señor López, le entrego el paquete.
Mr. Lopez, I am delivering the package to you.Hoy les pago la renta a ustedes.Today I'm paying you the rent.If you do use “le” or “les” for usted, then how do you know whether to use “le” or “les”?
Thank you,
Alicia
This is the third time in the past month that I'm finding loaded leftist political sentences in the quizes. You guys should really leave politics out of the learning environment. It's a huge turnoff. It makes you guys look very ignorant and extremist. One sentence for example was celebrating socialism. Very inappropriate to say the least.
hola no entiendo la diferencia entre "terminar por/participio" y "terminar de". por favor cuanteme!
I both love and hate in equal measure that I woke up today to new lessons being posted!! I've been trying to get the elusive 100% for level A2 and then another sneaky lesson arrived. I know language learning is a never ending story, but....
Thanks kwiziq team :-)
Yo te habría aceptado de nuevo en casa mientras me hubieras contado la verdad.
I would have accepted your return home provided you had told me the truth.
this sentence is talking about future events from the point of view of a past. it is not really talking about future event from current point of view. is that right?
i find this structure similar to si conditional statement of expressing what something could had happened in the past, if another past condition is satisfied.
may I ask if they are the same?
Yo te habría aceptado de nuevo en casa si me hubieras contado la verdad.
So can this same construction be used with nunca, but just not with the same level of emphasis?
Hi,
Es esencial que haya un acuerdo entre ellos
1)It is essential that THERE IS an agreement between them. Using "there is" rather than "come". What do you think? Come implies in the future.
2)Why is "los pájaros irán HAYA donde comida" Why HAYA in the subjuntive
So ¿cómo está? is an incorrect answer for a child?
Don't remember ever hearing that one, only that it is okay to use the informal version with them.
Also you site is jumping past questions when I give the answer to a previous question, I know I should notice but your site shouldn't do that either.
It's happened a couple of time and I think I've done well on a test only to find out I didn't answer a couple of the questions.
Also there are drop downs that don't show some of the answer and lo and behold one of them is apparently the correct answer, which only confuses me because I end up picking the best sounding incorrect answer.
