Why is the participle sujeta and not sujeto?
But this is to do with the nature of this sentence. For other sentences you can replace si with que, for example:
Me encantaría que vinera Carlos.
Me encantaría si viniera Carlos.
This is a great lesson. Very practical. Thanks.
Too often I have found the “hints” to be problematic in that I am thrown off by them. For example, in this lesson one hint was “Lit: "At 2 I have lunch with dehydrated foods" lunch = almuerzo, foods = alimentos." Assuming “Lit” means “literally”, the literal translation should have been “A las dos tengo almuerzo con alimentos deshidratados” NOT “tomo” or “como”. I do know that "tomar" is used when referring to food, but the so-called "hint" threw me off on this one!

In the statement: "Nosotros solemos comer en casa de mis padres los domingos."
Why don't we use "la casa de mis padres"?
Thanks.
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.
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.
The english text referred to great legends, so I chose gran, but it was marked incorrect. That seems to conflict with the answers given in the community.
Does this construction happen other places. If idiom maybe should be taught like that.
¿En español se puede usar hacia en el contexto de la actitud de alguien o algo? Por ejemplo en ingles se puede decir "I don't like your attitude towards me" o "We will work towards that".
¿Se puede decir algo como "no me gusta su actitud hacia yo"?
