Regarding this quiz question:
Tengo estos dos pares de botas, ¿________prefieres?
The answer is “cuáles” which means that “par” is plural, and not singular as in English. Is this correct? In general, when do we think of groups as plural?
Also, how does this affect general usage? Do we say, “los par son bonitos”? Thanks.
with NOUNs the mas or menos is before the noun.
with verbs They are after the conjugated verb.
when used as a pronoun is after the noun it talking about. Has words in front of it
and their might be a name for those sorts of words.
so the question are these kinda "rules"
A story I had a teacher and first words the son said was "mas" talking about food.
Sonia, De verdad. No podías guardártelo para ti
Perhaps it would be helpful with these various stem changing verb lessons to explain more clearly that the vowel changes only affect the vowels when they are in syllables that are stressed, rather than giving the impression that the nosotros/as and vosotras/os forms are just arbitrary exceptions. I think that grasping that makes it a lot easier to internalize the pattern than just trying to memorize exceptions without understanding why they work that way.
why cant Estamos muy feliz be used?
why is ser being used to describe moods?
Some of the phrases sound like commands, why not use the imperative mood as opposed to subjunctive?
Yup. Makes no sense at all. I also watched videos on youtube for "por v. para." Incomprehensible. Pretty soon, I will shelve Spanish. I have gotten to the point where it is a reality that I will not achieve fluency or really go beyond the basic, "Quiere sal?"
I'm reassured to see that even Mexican reporters sometimes conjugate their verbs incorrectly.
For anyone struggling with how and when to use Sentir and Sentirse, just read both Silvia's and Inma's replies to Garry's question. It took me a good while to use the correct verb too.
The explanations given here by Silvia and Inma are invaluable and so comprehensive.
