Good morning.
What is the difference in meaning between "Poder + estar + infinitive" vs "poder + infinitive"?
Hola…..¿por qué se usa el imperfecto de subjuntivo con una oración que empiece con “No sabía que_________”. No entiendo el “trigger” en este caso.
Hi Inma,
I know that the answer for;
No voy a ir a esa fiesta, por si acaso ________ con David
is 'me encontrara' (not 'me encuentre') because it is subjunctive imperfect but is the future subjunctive not used in this case because the sentence is conditional?
Thank you
In the quiz, the statement was supposed to be correct: El director entregó un premio a los estudiantes.
However, the explanation seems to contradict that. Can you explain why?
It would be incorrect to use the pronoun with "a" on its own without the second short pronoun:
A mí diste muy poco dinero pero a ella diste mucho.¿A tí regalaron tus padres una moto el año pasado?In the A2 quiz, this question came up. I understand I should have picked A mí tampoco AND yo tampoco, but it looks like 'yo tampoco' is marked as incorrect.
But pronunciation: in the Spanish muy is the U treated as W as in ruido, cuido or is the U given strength and sounded separately. Is muy MWEE ot moo-ee or muu-ee? cuy is cwee or cuuee. I've always believed that Y is treated as another vocal. a e i o u and Y meaning that u before Y = W so muy = mwee
In my experience, and according to my dictionary, reflection (in a mirror or an observation) is el reflejo, unless it is the action in physics of something bouncing of something else
Why are these two sentences different? One uses "para comprar" and the other just "comprar." I want to understand the rule that allows you to omit "para" before an infinitive.
1. Le costó 5 dólares comprarlo de nuevo.
2. Él necesita 5 dólares para comprarlo.
