Would a better translation be "it would be good if the bank gave us the loan" ?
Desde que + subjunctive
When talking about past actions we can also use it with the subjunctive, but this makes it sound more formal.
Upon clicking on the lesson, I see this warning, "Note that this is a Europe focused lesson. Your active focus is Latin America.' .... how are weather talks different in Latin America?
In the quiz, I selected "Había muchos niños en el parque." This was marked wrong, rather, "Hubo muchos niños en el parque."
I'm wondering why my answer was marked wrong, given that one of the examples in the lesson is nearly identical to my answer: "Había un perro en el parque."
Could you say 'poner una chaquetta' instead of 'llevar una chaquetta'?
I am not clear on when to use which term. In the passage, there is "el esfuerzo medioambiental" and also "modelo ambiental". Are they interchangeable? Thanks.
If the main clause uses a tense or a mood that implies a future action, for example El Imperativo or El Futuro Simple, then the por si/por si acaso clause uses El Presente (probable) or El Pretérito Imperfecto Subjuntivo (less probable)
Hi, I am trying to understand this lesson, and am confused by the two examples shown.
Why on the second example you put (accidentally) but not on the first example?
A Juan se le olvidó traer el hielo.
Juan forgot to bring the ice.A Juan se le olvidó traer cervezas.Juan [accidentally] forgot to bring beersI understand that third person singular is used for both, and thought both examples are ‘accidental’ hence using SE.
Thanks
What's the difference if I use 'todos los correos' instead in the first example?
The word "revise" in the 2nd sentence of the Details section is wrong and confusing. I believe the writer intended to say "review".
