When is one preferred over the other?
I know the -- if after a noun is doesn't make since with " which or that," then use " de que" if you intend it to be " that"
But like what about the other times?
I swear it almost seems like other than what I said above, it's interchangeable.
Thanks.
Why ot is duro, not dura? Duro for trabajo??
“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 moneyI found this confusing.
"Hemos pedido" translates into English as "asked," which is a past tense. So I wanted to use pusiera. But the answer requires present subjunctive (ponga).
Is it always true that when the main verb is in the present perfect, the subsequent clause will use the present subjunctive? So in Spanish we should treat present perfect as a present tense, whereas in English it is a past tense?
One of the English sentences to translate were 'the Spanish colonization' but the answer was 'Pasando por la colonizacion espanola'. I think part of the English sentence is missing?
Is there a list anywhere of which adjectives take which prepositions? I’m C1 level and still make mistakes at times! Would be great to have a comprehensive list!
Voy para la casa de mi amigo. Is the use of para in this case particular to Spain? IN Mexico and New Mexico(where I live) I'm pretty sure the sentence would use the prepossition "a" as in Voy a la piscina.
Suggestion, along with having vocabulary words presented before each exercise also have the lessons that one should have done/review prior to doing the exercise. For example, somehow I did missed the lesson on conjugating in the near future lesson, and I was lost with those sentences. Thanks.
I wish there were a lesson explaining how the use of articles in Spanish differs from English. For example, "he has a good heart" is "tiene buen corazon" not "un buen corazon". Another example, "I will be in the first row" is "estare en primera fila" and not "en la primera fila".
