Another adjective placement questionHola,
To piggyback on David's question about the 'rich hot chocolate', I am also wondering about the 'small religious festival'. I can't remember the hint, but I'm pretty sure it confused me. Maybe, 'small was reinforcing festival'??
So I made a note that hot was reinforcing chocolate and was therefore placed after chocolate in the correction edit, but then when I tried to apply the same rule of small reinforcing festival, meaning it should been placed after festival, (which actually looked and sounded strange to me) it was actually placed before festival.
I am confused!
What is the rule with a reinforcing adj? They are placed before the noun? And is David correct that rich is reinforcing chocolate and not hot?
And reinforcing seems to even be a new descriptive word. I looked back at the lesson and saw highlight, emphasize, differentiate, distinction and extra nuance. What is 'to reinforce' equal to?
I'm not trying to be super picky. I'm just looking for rules to apply in my learning process.
Thanks!
Hello, I'm trying to get a better understanding of when to use different constructions.
Specifically:
Si Amalia va al mercado, comprará pescado fresco.
Si Amalia fuera al mercado, compraría pescado fresco.
These two constructions express the same idea. How do we know which one to choose? Is our choice solely based on the probability of the action in the "si" clause?
Thanks.
Hi there,
For the question "Prefiero ir con Susana, ________ es más simpática" I answered "la quien". Your guide says that this is interchangeable (if more formal) than "que", but my answer was marked incorrect. Please can you explain?
Thanks
1. In the second sentence, "para que te acuerdes de que me he portado muy bien"...Why isn't recordar accepted here?
2. In the sentence, "Además, desearía que ayudaras a las personas enfermas"... why isn't "ojalá que" accepted as a translation of "I hope"?
Can this website teach me the majority of spanish grammar or do i have to use other resources?
Since both the Present Perfect "hemos podido viajar" and Preterite "pudimos viajar" are correct for this question (it is both limited to a set past time period and the speaker is obviously involved in the action), shouldn't the lesson explain that sometimes both options are acceptable?
Hi,
My focus area is Latin America. I do see that this lesson is for peninsular Spanish, but I can't seem to find the appropriate equivalent lesson for L.A. Could you direct me to the correct page for Antes de que/Despues de que for L.A. students?
Thanks,
John Nolan
The "this may be closer to latin amercian spanish" warning came up in this exercise, for a part of the text given as a hint!
"A las cuatro, tengo entrenamiento de fútbol."

“Usted tendría que devolver los
artículos en la caja. (You would have
to return the articles at the till.)
HINT: Conjugate "tener que"' in El
Condicional Simple.
“No entiendo “the till.” In the US would be the cashier, I think. In Latin America, perhaps “el cajero.” “The till” has various contations in the US and some border on the negative. From Miriam-Webster:
till
noun (1)
\ ˈtil \Definition of till (Entry 4 of 5)
1a: a money drawer in a store or bankalso : CASH REGISTERb: a box, drawer, or tray in a receptacle (such as a cabinet or chest) used especially for valuables2a: the money contained in a tillb: a supply of especially ready moneyFind your Spanish level for FREE
