From this lesson, it states that they are all interchangeable.
but i read from elsewhere such as spanishdict, it says el cual, el que etc have to be used after prepositions, and commas.
may i have a clearer explanation on when will we have to use the others, when do we have to use que only.
One of the options for a mini kwiz question, ""Suspendió el examen, no porque ________ sino porque ese día no se sentía bien." As I understood it, no porque could be used with either subjunctive or indicative and not change the meaning. Why isn't "no porque no iba a estudiar" an option along with the other two examples (which were subjunctive).
I understand except for the last word "queráis ". I was expecting to see " queréis " for the "you want" at the end.
Looking up queráis, I see that it is the present subjunctive and have read that it is used if there is a change in the subject.
I can't see a change in subject. The first part of the sentence has "you" as subject ans so does the second part.
I expect that I've missed something crucial here so please help me to understand.
Thanks.
When does the -o ending in the third person singular of the pretérito indefinido get a tilde en when does it not? P.e. "he spoke" = habló, but "she said" = dijo. Has it something to do with regular and irregular verbs?
¿Qué tal:
secretaria sacerdote
carpintero contador
ama de casa
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.
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 assume in the example above salir, the infinitive is not used with después because después is being used as adjective not as a proposition?
Hello! I wrote "lo pasarán bien" instead of "se divertirán mucho" and I believe the feedback advised me to use the verb in the reflexive form ("se lo pararán bien"). In the past, I had encountered "pasarlo bien" as meaning "to have a good time" without using "se." Can you please clarify? Thanks so much.
