Hola,
I'm wondering about the use of traer in some of the example sentences. I had thought it was used when the speaker was at the place where something is being brought to; otherwise we use llevar? Wouldn't we say 'Ellos llevan al perro al parque'?
Gracias,
Jess
Hola…..¿por qué se usa el imperfecto de subjuntivo con una oración que empiece con “No sabía que_________”. No entiendo el “trigger” en este caso.
“Usted tendría que devolver los
artículos en la caja. (You would have
to return the articles at the till.)
HINT: Conjugate "tener que"' in El
Condicional Simple.
“No entiendo “the till.” In the US would be the cashier, I think. In Latin America, perhaps “el cajero.” “The till” has various contations in the US and some border on the negative. From Miriam-Webster:
till
noun (1)
\ ˈtil \Definition of till (Entry 4 of 5)
1a: a money drawer in a store or bankalso : CASH REGISTERb: a box, drawer, or tray in a receptacle (such as a cabinet or chest) used especially for valuables2a: the money contained in a tillb: a supply of especially ready moneySe echan a reír - laughing. What does echarse mean in this case ?
May I ask why do you need to use imperfect tense for this sentence: Después de hacer el check-in, he comprado algo de ropa en la boutique porque no traía nada conmigo.
I guess if we use prétérito perfect for the whole story it should be it as well.
This is NOT AO level crap.
Are you Duh-lingo or something?
Who dreams up these "tests"? The jerk who runs Duh-lingo? Waldo?
Hola Inma,
I am much more “comfortable” with the alternative “se debe haber retrasado.” Is it not counterintuitive to add the reflexive pronoun to the verb haber?
Invariably we never put anything between the two verbs when using the pretérito perfecto but in this case we do. Is there a particular explanation / logic? I must be missing something!
Saludos. John
Hola, I’m confused about the English translation, which uses the noun make-up (maquillaje in Spanish). However the Spanish uses the verb se maquilla, which I thought means to put on make up (Because of all the makeup she puts on..). Muchas gracias, Shirley.
Saludos
"También recordó las alegrías cotidianas, por ejemplo los paseos por el parque con su perro Turco y las noches de cine en casa con su familia.".My translator offers two possible translations one of which includes las before " alegrías," los before "paseos" and las before " noches" and another which excludes them. Do the objects have to be used here, or are there regional variations ?
