this is a helpful lesson with good examples.
but I’m confused. the lesson says: The verb is conjugated in the 3rd person singular or plural, according to the subject in the sentence.
aren’t the singular or plural things the objects of the sentences?
Por qué no Alicia and Amaya van a caminar por la ciudad?
In sentence 1 why is the verb "dar" which I thought means to give used instead of "ir"?
In sentence 2 I see Cuenco means basin. Is it being used to somehow mean since a young age?
In sentence 2, "19" is spoken with an "f" sound in it when I was expecting a "c" sound. . Is it a dialect, am I hearing it wrong, or am I wrong that 19 is "dieinueve"?
Thanks.
Could you highlight this difference in the lesson in yellow or some sort of emphasis?
If we want to express the same but in the negative, the structure changes to:
llevar (conjugated) + sin + infinitive
And also, if correct, please add the explanation that the action changes from past participle to infinitive because sin is a preposition, and that prepositions are followed by infinitives, not past particples.
Hi, I've just come across a use of estar + hecho that I didn't know before:
Tu hermano está hecho un hombretón.
That doesn't seem to be quite the same as the usage here, and I cannot find any reference to this kind of estar + hecho elsewhere on kwiziq...
Usted está pálido.You are pale.
Why is it igual and not iguales if it’s referring to 7 or 12 people?
In the sentence below, wouldn't be correct to use 'tenemos' instead of 'tengamos'? Muchas gracias!
. Por otro lado, es genial que a los dos nos encanten la música y el deporte y que tengamos muchos amigos en común.
Could you please clarify the statement "They replace the -z with a -c in all forms. This is because after z you can only have the vowels a, o and u."
1. The word "zeta" appears to disprove this statement so is there a further qualification to the rule that's missing?
2. Why can those letters not follow "z"?
Gracias!
Hi, I have a question about the grammar of this sentence. I apologize it doesn’t have to do with “aquella.” Just wondering about the use of “estaba.” Why not “estuvo?” For something to be broken is that not permanent? Or is it because it was fixed that it “used to be broken”? Am I over thinking this?
