i read from another note that
Cuando + the present subjunctive vs Cuando + the present indicative in Spanish
It states that we use cuando+present subjunctive for future events.
But in this notes, it says we need to use cuando+past subjunctive.
Dijo que me llamaría cuando llegara al hotel. (past subjunctive)
= dijo que me llamaría cuando llegue al hotel (present subjunctive)
Are both the same? what is the difference that we choose one over another?
I understood pretty much all the sounds in this piece with the exception of 'gallega'. To my (inadequate) hearing it sounded as if the narrator began the word with the letter 'r'.
Hi
If I want to find when someone is coming to visit would I use the subjunctive as it's an unknown e.g.
¿Cuando vayas a venir a verme?
Or would I use the indicative?
In one of the questions you have this statement:
"but now he lives in Italy
HINT: but = pero, now = ahora, put "now" after "although" "but there is no "although" in the statement
"Esta debe ser roja para tener amor, blanca para llamar a LA paz, azul para buena salud y negra para atraer EL lujo". I consistently get this wrong. I either add a definite article or miss it out. Are there any rules for this?
I would just like to request more examples for practice before this particular lesson gets to the Kwiz Questions. And thanks for adding the Latin America option!
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.
