Why would you say soy un cantautor? I thought you were not supposed to use an indefinite article when saying what occupation you have?
RE: Chupachups (B2) Spanish writing exercise
Sentence: and about 800 lollipops were produced a day.
Kwizbot: y se producían unos 800 chupachups al día.
Is there any other way this sentence could be constructed, and if so, what, and if not, why not? And what are the rules pertaining to this.
I know that Spanish is pretty flexible, where I get tangled up, is where it’s not flexible in sentence structure. i.e. what things are “verboten”? Thank you, I appreciate any help in this area.
What’s the reasoning for ruling out el pluscuamperfecto de subjuntivo?
de tantas horas que estuviera trabajandoI had a question on a kwiz that was marked "nearly" or "almost there"
Aquel restaurante, ________ me recomendó Alberto, tiene unos postres exquisitos.That restaurant, that Alberto recommended, has some exquisite desserts.
el cual was "correct"que was "nearly"
In the question and answer just below mine, an answer says that que and el cual are interchangable. Why was this answer not just marked correct? How do we know which one to use to get "correct" answers? Does the "nearly" count against me?
I wish it was better explained when to use this tense instead of just giving examples
Trick questions like this one don't help and no one is going to put that adjective in front of axe in Spanish. Smh. I like this web site but the way you guys format questions is really annoying at times. The questions should reflect how a native is MOST LIKELY to say something, not "well let's mess with these people trying to learn a language and confuse them at the same time."
Me temo que Cristina no podrá ir hoy al trabajo ...
This rule does not work with amable. If you do an exercise on superlatives with a question on "amable" before you read the lesson on -co, -go, -ble, and -z endings you will make a mistake. Perhaps this lesson should should point out that -ble endings are an exception.
Of course I will always remember the rule now after spending some time trying to discover why "amablísimos" was wrong.
Can querer in pretérito indefinido mean either wanted or tried?
‘The local police has captured the murderer.’
I’d say this should be ‘have captured’ in English, ‘has’ sounds unnatural to me
