Do I need to use sino que when any conjugated verb follows, or only when the conjugated verb is different from the conjugated verb in the first clause? If the verbs are the same (vas a +infinitive) which is correct?
Hola,
The first sentence above uses 'mayor' to mean eldest. How would you say 'elder'?
How can you be sure which is meant between the two?
How do you for the superlatives and the opposites (the least) of the comparatives?
Muchas gracias.
Saludos,
Colin

Why is this wrong: Mi abuela le entretiene mucho hacer punto?

Why isn't it "aprender LA informática"? Is it because informática follows aprender?

I'll spend some time on this exercise because I find these uses of "se" to be very interesting.
Also this was my first encounter with "echa/echan." There does not appear to be a lesson dedicate to its conjugation, but there is this which seems to be sufficient: https://progress.lawlessspanish.com/revision/grammar/expressing-instructions-and-general-statements-with-the-impersonal-se-one.
Could algunos be used instead of unos? And also could '¡Qué espectacular!' Be used instead of 'Era espectacular'?
under this section, the quiz showed a question as below.
Estoy intentando que ellos nos ________ una oportunidad.
i am not sure why does intentar trigger subjunctive.
is this because it contains uncertainty? so if im using other similar verbs such as probar or whatever scenario of trying to do something, i will need to use subjunctive?
