If something is currently better now, but may change, why don't I use estar? For example, el tiempo está mejor ahora.
In a writing exercise (a day outside), it told me to use es.
Hello,
I'm interested in the flexibility when there are multiple objets. The first example on the page is: A mí me diste muy poco dinero pero a ella le diste mucho.
Would
A mí me diste muy poco dinero pero a ella mucho.
also be correct?
And what about:
A mí me diste muy poco dinero pero a ella diste mucho.
?
thanks!
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
How in the hell is that "llegaremos"? Even with about 50 repeats I did not get that. Is she actually saying something else or how does that work? Always sounds like "digaremos" to me :-(
I believe the accent on "ecónomica" is incorrect. Shouldn't it be "económica"? Also, in many of these exercises it is very difficult to discern when a sentence ends versus when there is a pause based on voice tone.

I think it should be noted that there are some additional adverbs which can be combined with de:
cerca (de)
adelante (de)
arriba (de)
Please confirm/update?
Of course numbers are read all kinds of ways, but I was always taught that in reading a number without a decimal (i.e., "20, 354") the word "and" is not to be used. Thus, your example "20,354" would be vocalized as: "twenty-thousand, three hundred fifty-four". No "and".

Marcos: Buenos días, Emilio. ¿Tú (preparar) comida para la cena?
Emilio: No, yo necesito limpiar la cocina. ¿Y dónde está Blanca?
Marcos: Ella (oír) música en su dormitorio.
Emilio: Ah bueno ¿Y tú y Tatiana qué hacen?
Marcos: Nosotros (salir) para la biblioteca. ¡Hasta luego!
I don't want to quibble about details with native teachers but I was puzzled by the tip box at the bottom of this lesson saying "Remember that after poder(conjugated in any tense) you will always find an infinitive. "
I'm unsure what to make of this given that I have not always found an infinitive after poder. The example that immediately came to mind was "No puedo más." Which I stuck out in my mind precisely because I found it odd that "puedo" was NOT followed by another verb.
