Hi Kwiziq experts,
In the phrase "Lo que más me gustó de la gastronomía local fue deleitarme con..." I wrote "Lo que más me gustó de la gastronomía local ERA deleitarme con..." I was marked wrong and corrected "era DELEITARSE con" and I'm not sure why that is. Is it down to whether one uses fue or era in the sentence?
Many thanks
Dee
I think trifle is British English. Can someone tell me what it means in American English?
¿Podría ser correcto usar ambas verbos en el pretérito indefinido para decir algo diferente?
Por ejemplo "cuando vine a casa, ví el nuevo coche" en vez de "cuando venía a casa, ví el nuevo coche", para decir que lo ví inmediatamente después de que hubiera llegado (una acción cumplida, no interrumpida).
Eso me parecería lógico y algo similar sí se puede usar en inglés, pero ¿tiene sentido o es correcto en Español, o hay una forma distinta de decir algo así?
Espero que lo haya explicado suficiente claro... Muchas gracias.
Just want to remind people that we use the infinitive when we have the same subject in both clauses.
This might be way off base, but while "I" (or "yo") is the most common personal pronoun in most all languages, when one combines "it", "he", "she" and "este" etc followed by nouns, the third person singular is the most commonly used conjugation. In Kwiziq quizzes and exercises, it seems that "yo" and "tu" are the ones that show up most often. The exercises would be better if they had a proportional focus on the pronouns/conjugations in line with how frequently they are used in real life.
Isn't there an exception for locations of events? For example in: "¿Dónde es la reunión?"
Por dónde vas is the question to ask someone but what if I want to be more specific ? Por dónde vas en tu libro? How do I say where are you at for the book? Where are you at now at your book?
hola no entiendo la diferencia entre "terminar por/participio" y "terminar de". por favor cuanteme!
Why is is teneis que hacer la compra and not tienes que hacer las compra?
