This triggers subjunctive. may i ask if this is because this sentence is asking for advice?
Because i remember that only negative construction of opinions will trigger subjunctive, for example i dont think that = no creo que..
or is this understanding of mine wrong too?
thanks
Test question uses "Nos impresiona que," with the subjunctive however this lesson referenced for the answer never discusses this grammatical construction. It would be good to add this to the lesson so there is no ambiguity.
Ricardo come con su familia dos veces a la semana
hum thinking about al mes and a la semana wondering why
I encountered this in a video:
John es estudiante. Roger es UN estudiante también.
Why does the article appear when también is added? Is this correct? If so, what is the explanation?
(Google translate also adds the indefinite article when también is used.)
What are the differences in usage/nuance between con lo cual vs. conque?
Thank you so much for this detailed explanation Inma. It's greatly appreciated. I hope it's fair to say that I wish that Leísmo/Loísmo/Laísmo didn't exist 🙄... another thing for my old brain to try to remember. ;))
1. In the second sentence, "para que te acuerdes de que me he portado muy bien"...Why isn't recordar accepted here?
2. In the sentence, "Además, desearía que ayudaras a las personas enfermas"... why isn't "ojalá que" accepted as a translation of "I hope"?
I said this phrase was incorrect as I though the a in ave would change the una to an un.
However I was marked wrong and apparently it is a correct phrase.
Is this another exception to the rule?
Hola Silvia / Inma,
I came across the phrase above with a meaning of "at sunrise, first light." The word "amanezca" appears to be 1st / 3rd person subjunctive. Can you help me understand this construction please?
Saludos. John
I understand that no articles are used in negatives
e.g no hay tienda
Therefore, I am asking whether you would also drop the article in this sense?
e.g hay el de rojo--> no hay de rojo?
