should be benéfico
also wrong in the list of vocabulary at the beginning
Hi,
The main part of this lesson has no audio. Could you please fix this if possible?
(Aunque + the imperfect subjunctive in Spanish)
Thanks
In the lesson on 'Para mí que' it gives its use as - 'we simply express having a feeling, an inkling about something happening'
The English text here says 'What amazes me...' Surely that's stronger than an inkling!
It also says 'esta sigue siendo un medio de lo más popular' Why isn't it 'este' as it refers to the masculine word medio
Gracias
I’ve read the explanation for the lesson several times but I still can’t understand the answer from the quiz below:
Prompt: No fui al trabajo, ________ sino porque estaba enferma.
I didn't go to work, not because I didn't want to see my boss but because I was ill.
Why is this correct? no porque no quisiera ver a mi jefeWhy is this wrong? no porque no querría ver a mi jefeI wish it was better explained when to use this tense instead of just giving examples
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 know a lot of people have brought up the fact that seguir + present participle and continuar + present participle have the same meaning, so they selected one answer which was marked as incorrect. I realize that the question specified that multiple answers could be correct but the fact that so many people were confused by this makes me think it wasn’t very clear. Maybe you should instead say “Select all of the correct answers” instead. Anyway, I do have an actual question - is there any subtle difference between the two, or any situations in which you would use one over the other? Does it vary by country or region? Just curious. Muchísimas gracias, y que tenga un buen fin de semana!
“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 moneyHola Inma,
".... usar las tarjetas, ..... prevenir contagios"
can you, please, explain why do you use the article in the first case but not in the second? I thought articles in Spanish are used when talking in general, which apply in both cases (I think).
Muchas gracias
