Test Question - Till

“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 \

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 money

Marked daily changes in sunset and sunrise times.

Muchas gracias Silvia, Shui e Inma -

Hay otro hecho interesante [¿e importante?]:

Durante el mes de septiembre [y también en marzo], la latitud del sol [es decir su posición encima de la superficie de la Tierra] cambia más que en los otros meses [durante su viaje N>S, o S>N]. Por eso, las duraciones de luz del día están disminuendo muy perceptiblemente - por 27½ minutos durante esta semana [en Londres].

Why tanto not tan?Yo no tengo tanto picardía. I am not so sly. Hi, the lesson says tanto means “so much”. Also, picardía is an adjective so “tan” seems right. I’m confused. Gracias, Shirley.

Why Imperfecto?I don't understand why this is preterito imperfecto. "The little ones ate sweets and sandwiches at the party" does not sound like it's describing a situation. It sounds like an action completed in the past, therefore preterito indefinido. "The little ones were eating sweets and sandwiches at the party" sounds like it's describing a situation - but that's not what the question says.

intentar triggering subjunctive

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?

El Futuro Simple speculation

So when we say we 'wonder' in english we are also saying that we 'speculate'?

And how does that indicate the future when we are currently speculating? How does speculation imply the future? Is it that some result could eventually be revealed?

I see now, helps to write it out.

Capitalisation in the test

Hello! I wrote: 'tengo viente años' to say that I'm 20 years old. It marked me as incorrect, but the only difference I can see between my answer and the correct one is capitalisation. Is there something I'm missing?

Answer should have indirect object pronoun

"Why did you tell Luisa......" seems to me to need the indefinite object pronoun as in "¿Por qué le habéis dicho a Luisa...." but this answer is marked as incorrect. Why? Isn't it actually the correct way to say this part of the sentence even though I haven't gotten to a lesson about these pronouns?
