Hi
Why is the following sentence in the imperfect subjunctive? Could it not use the present?
Me gustaría que vieran el deporte como una herramienta para empoderarse.
Thank you!
"... no solo por su físico, sino también por su personalidad ..." >
> Indeed, my Grammar book (by Butt and Benjamin) actually mentions that "sino" is particularly common after a "No sólo ..." construction; [with a bit of luck, I will remember that in future!]
So, it might be worth adding that^ to your " Difference between pero, sino and sino que in Spanish (but) " ... [together with an example]?
You might also decide to add the above grammar-lesson to the guidelines, notes and hints relevant to this exercise? ... As you say, it is a case of two possible different translations of "but", so English people need to think about it carefully.
I was searching for a little information on reflexive verbs and ended up with the best lesson yet! By following the links at Reflexive verbs I found so much valuable information that I'll be breathless for the next few days as I absorb it all . . .Thanks Inma
I have already emailed 3 times using "Contact us" but there was no response. How many time do I need to email you? I have already paid for 1 year subscription premium. The homepage does show the message that I paid for premium subscription, but the account still shows I am a free user and I still have the upgrade button showing on the homepage.
Let me know what is wrong with my account. I am very disappointed by the poor customer service kwiziq. I am not able to use premium services even after 3 days of payment.
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.
Are there other similar idiomatic expressions or must one use the conventional gramatical constructs? For example:
If you were me... (Tú que yo?)
If I were him... (Yo que él?)
If he were you... (Él que tu?)
etc.
why did it say it was wrong in the first part
In the test question, How would you say "I have eaten only fruit for a week."?, the answer was Desde hace una semana solo como fruta.
But I chose Desde hace una semana solo he comido fruta. Why isn't that one correct, given the "have eaten?"
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
