alguno vs algunos, alguna vs algunasThere seem to be a lot of confusion around this subject. especially when using the word 'some.'
Could you please explain the difference illustrated in these two examples.
Tengo muchas postales de Venecia,
¿quieres algunas?
I have many postcards from Venice, do you want some?
He imprimido nuestras fotografías del viaje, ¿quieres ver
alguna?
I have printed the pictures of our
trip, do you want to see some?
And just as an aside, the sentences in English should be separated by either a semi-colon or a period, not a comma. When a comma is used to separate two independent clauses, it's called a comma splice or a run-on sentence. I'm not trying to be a know-it-all. This is in the spirit of having the best grammar.
Hi, In the last sentence, could you replace tal vez etc with a lo mejor, and if so, would this then take the indicative or still the subjunctive?
Many thanks
Dee
Might be a stupid question, but i dont really understand the difference between when to use “tratar” and “tratar de”..? Thank you!
Checked two dictionaries and they show accent over the e? Optional? Changed rule? Checked another dictionary no accent. Regional?
Why is there an article in front of frío in the second instance?
I’m confused, agua is masculine but the adjective is feminine (fría).
Thank you,
Shirley.
I am a little confused with the following quiz sentence/ answer: 'Tardé pocas horas en hacerlo.', for which the correct answer is 'pocas horas'. Why wouldn't 'unas pocas horas' also be correct?

Would it be correct to use Porque at the start of a sentence....e.g. instead of
Como estoy enfermo, no voy a ir al trabajo hoy.
Porque estoy enfermo, no voy a ir al trabajo hoy
Why does the affirmative phrase use "tener celos" while the negative phrase uses "ser celosa"?Yo creo que Marta tiene celos.
Yo no creo que María sea celosa.I think Marta is jealous.
I don't think María is jealous.
Thanks!
