I understand that “vestir” needs to be used because it is a transitive verb requiring a direct object, but why is “se” used which I believe would indicate that it is a reflexive verb?
Good morning.
What is the difference in meaning between "Poder + estar + infinitive" vs "poder + infinitive"?
When there is no preceding noun, is there a way to use cuyo, cuya?
Por ejemplo: Whose book is this?
Can you use cuyo here, or must you resort to "¿De quién es este libro?"
Several of my answers in several tests are misrecorded. I answered one way and it says I answered something else. What's going on?
Also, you should have explained that capitalizing, punctuation and accents must be correct. I was marked wrong for not putting a period at the end nd not capitalizing at the beginning. I don't mind but I would like to have known before i took the test.
A couple of quizzes ago i was marked wrong for putting the object pronouns in front of the verbal structure. Unfortunately I can't get back to that quiz now to check, but I was sure they could go either before the whole verbal structure of be added onto the gerund/infinitive. The correction on my answer was to put the pronouns at the end of the infinitive/gerund.
there is a sentence in the notes where it says
'Hablo con ella cuando llega a casa. = I will speak with her when she gets home.'
Since this is a non general statement of using cuando, but a future specified situation, shouldn't we use subjuntive? there is a note on this. are is this the same thing but different point of view?
Hablo con ella cuando llegue a casa.
Doesn’t con nosotros refer to ourselves? In the table it says yourselves.
Thanks,

no animals were in the making of this film. The correct answer i ningún animal. I put ningún animales
Why is it incorrect when the sentence was no animals?
Me temo que Cristina no podrá ir hoy al trabajo ...
Hi Inma,
If you can skip tan solo as in the last example, how do you know whether the meaning is "just before" or "within"? For example:
A 2 minutos de empezar la película me llamó mi madre para charlar.
Couldn't this mean either that my mother called me just before the film started or that she called me just after it started?
