Hola,

Would the following be an example of objection using the conditional?  It is in response to a character revealing what she has done.

Tú no tendrías que decir nada. No tendrías que haberle dado la pistola.

How would you translate this?  Here is my attempt:

You didn't have to say anything.  You didn't have to give her the gun/pistol.

I have a comment about the following:

-Ayer tomamos una decisión. -Habréis tomado una decisión, pero el problema surgirá de nuevo, estoy seguro.-We took a decision yesterday. -You may have taken a decision, but this problem will come up again, I am sure.I have checked a lot of resources (people I know, as well as reliable British English online resources), and the correct phrase with "decision" is "to make a decision."  Thus, it should be:  "We made a decision yesterday."  and "You may have made a decision but ..."  Thank you.

The quiz answer (shown below) and the lesson information don't match.  I wonder if you could help explain.  I don't see anywhere in the Lesson where it says, "Arriba, corriendo" means "Hurry, run!"  Is that information in another lesson?

In the writing challenge 'Melon with ham' we are asked to translate "You just need to cut some melon slices"

I wrote "Solo necesitas cortar algunas rodajas de melón" and it was corrected with "unas rodajas".

I understood these were interchangeable, and I'm yet to find any definitive to the contrary. Could someone please explain my error here?

Saludos 

Hola,

Can that pronoun set be used as per previous lessons - el cual, los cuales, etc?

Gracias,

For the question "No hay muchas casas ________ el monte." meaning, there aren't many houses on the mountain, why wouldn't sobre work? If I wanted to say "there aren't many books on the table", wouldn't sobre be acceptable in that instance? 

Hola Inma,

The text has an opening question which I answered as "¿A quién no le apetece......?" and was marked incorrect. Shouldn't there be an accent on "quién"?

Also in the final sentence, I'm sure that the speaker doesn't say "las ensaladas" but it is included in the text. 

Saludos

John

Thank you so much for these regional notes. Do you have any sense of whether the use of the European construction is confusing to LA speakers? Or vice versa? Or would the meaning still be easily understood?

Can I switch the two parts of the sentence and keep the basic structure of each clause and keep the meaning?  For example, instead of "Haciendo unos muebles de madera me corté con la sierra.", could I say:  "Me corté con la sierra haciendo unos muebles de madera."
