Hola Inma,
Very comprehensive and has cleared up a lot of my confusion. Saludos. John
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?
It might be helpful to point out how an infinitive is used to express what in English a gerund might be used for (Sorry, I know that's a horrible sentence.) To reference the quiz question, "conducir" is used for the concept "driving." As an English speaker, that is strange and it was not apparent right away what was going on.
Greetings everyone
I would like to ask why the correct answer is the option:
La persona con quien fui a la fiesta era mi padre
while the answer
La persona con la que fui a la fiesta era mi padre
is marked as nearly correct when both options are acceptable, according to the lesson above.
Spanish names for:
a ball valve
Inside or female threads
male or outside threads
In a quiz question, I used puede que + past subjunctive and it was marked incorrect. The correct response used the preterite. Why would the preterite be used after puede que?
Puede que perdiera el autobúsPuede que perdió el autobús.
The choices include c) salgan and d) hayan salido. Aren't both of these subjunctive? The correct answer was c), salgan. I read through the lesson fairly thoroughly and don't see why hayan salido would not be correct as well. What am I missing? Thanks!
Is it because conseguir refers to a person not a thing?
