"ordered"...not order
Hola Inma,
Solo quería saber, ¿De qué parte de España es el orador en este ejercicio?
He escuchado tantas veces la frase donde dice, 'tus relaciones' y sé que es 'tus', pero me parece que está diciendo 'tu'. Supongo que es debido a su acento, ¿no?
¿O tal vez mis oídos son el problema?No estoy segura! ;))
Below is the text from the lesson explaining your options with "por si/por si acaso". All of the examples use the imperfect subjective, but the fact that was the only option wasn't really clear until I read through the comments/questions.
From the Lesson: They introduce a subordinate clause expressing a condition. They can be followed by the subjunctive or the indicative.
My question is not about the answer per se... but the phrase {si yo necesitara ir al trabajo}... what is the verb tense or form for necesitara? I am thinking it was future of necesitar but that would have á vs a in the ending. Also the phrase will be will need to go to work. Thanks.
The question was to say "You like Marbella". How could the correct answer be "Me gusta Marbella." Your answer is incorrect.
Hola Inma
In this test question:
"Aquella chica del colegio, ________ todos se reían, estaba siempre triste"
I managed to get all these correct: de la que, de quien, de la cual. But my answer de que was incorrect.
OK, I admit that I did follow a pattern here and guess that this question required 'de' in front of the pronoun, so I actually have two questions about this:
1) why is 'de' required in this particular structure (but not usually)?
2) why is 'de que' incorrect? (but all the others require 'de')
I ask because I don't see any reference to these nuances in the above lesson
Saludos
This is a great example of the stuff that really ticks me off with Progressive! In two consecutive tests, this answer has been given as "me ha robado el bolso" and "me han robado el bolso" ---- WHICH IS IT?! The fact that one version of the indirect pronoun is obvious, but how is one supposed to know which one you are asking for?!!
The note says quedarse can be used as emphasis of end results. So does that mean ‘se queda inmóvil’ meaning he ended up motionless ? Or is this meaning of quedarse different ?
Test question uses "Nos impresiona que," with the subjunctive however this lesson referenced for the answer never discusses this grammatical construction. It would be good to add this to the lesson so there is no ambiguity.
