Can I say "Adivino que si" or "Adivino que no"? Thanks.
“Nunca hubieras pensado que hubiese tantas formas de disculparse.” Hola, this sentence is from the B2 Listening exercise on how to apologize in spanish. I don’t know why Nunca triggers the imperfect subjunctive. Maybe this example could be included in the examples in this lesson? Muchas gracias, Shirley.
Just to clarify if I fully understand this lesson, would these 2 sentences be correct?:
1. Roberto, cuyas hijas van al colegio de mi hija, es abogado.
2. Tus padres, cuya casa actual es tan grande para sus necesidades, quieren una casa menos espaciosa.
Many thanks for helping me get my head around this. Saludos ~Oscar
Forgive me. The lesson explains this very clearly, but I'm still having trouble wrapping my head around the idea that there is absolutely no difference in meaning at all between the use of el indicativo and el subjuntivo with quizá and tal vez. I had read elsewhere a lengthy discussion about how these two always triggered the subjunctive and a lo mejor always used the indicative. Most examples I've encountered seem to reflect this. I'm struggling to reconcile this seemingly conflicting information...
In the sentence below, wouldn't be correct to use 'tenemos' instead of 'tengamos'? Muchas gracias!
. Por otro lado, es genial que a los dos nos encanten la música y el deporte y que tengamos muchos amigos en común.
The answer insisted on dónde, but there is no question being asked here. So I do not see the reasoning. The rest of the sentence could easily be considered (actually is) the major clause: "I don't know" I think your answer is wrong, or at best an alternative.
de punta en blanco - wordreference is giving me a different definition. could this be reviewed? thank you!
Muchas gracias Silvia, Shui e Inma -
Hay otro hecho interesante [¿e importante?]:
Durante el mes de septiembre [y también en marzo], la latitud del sol [es decir su posición encima de la superficie de la Tierra] cambia más que en los otros meses [durante su viaje N>S, o S>N]. Por eso, las duraciones de luz del día están disminuendo muy perceptiblemente - por 27½ minutos durante esta semana [en Londres].
Can I ask you that when a thing and a thing (singular noun) or a thing and things (singular noun and plural noun)... followed verb "gustar" like listing, gusta or gustan is right?
For example:
1. Me (gusta/gustan) el chocolate y la golosina.
2. Me (gusta/gustan) el chocolate y las golosinas.
3. Me (gusta/gustan) las golosinas y el chocolate.
Thank u so much
Fernando ___ a Luisa... In another lesson you said that when naming the person, the "le, les" cannot be omitted. I used "estuvo explicándole" but the right answer is "estuvo explicando." Why? Thanks!
