Hola. Creo que los ejemplos en esta lista son del pretérito y no del presente de subjuntivo.
Gracias.
¿Por qué usa "de" con la frase tomar de postre en lugar de "como" o "por"?
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!
Hi Kiwziq team,
las comunidades indígenas están reclamando que se les devuelva algunas piezas de museo, porque pertenecían a sus antepasados.
I'm slightly confused as to why this uses 'devuelva' and not 'devuelvan' given that it's 'algunas piezas' being returned and 'las comunidades indigenas' doing the demanding. Please could someone offer an explanation?
Many thanks
Dee
I would love a set of quizzes that drill me on all the tenses for difficult irregular verbs, such as seguir, proteger, sentir, dormer....
Hi, I also have a similar doubt. We are using sere in first example ( When I am older, I will be a doctor) i.e simple future but we are using vayan (subjunctive) in this statement: Tendrán mucho frío cuando vayan a Escocia el próximo diciembre.
Why are we using vayan instead of iran (simple future) here like in first example?
Please help thank you!
"Tardé unas pocas horas en hacerlo" is right as well, isn't it?
Inma's answer below on time clauses and manner clauses got my attention and I looked at other web sites to learn about the types of adverbial clauses. This is a rich topic with lots to explore. It would be great if you could do a lesson on Kwiziq on the types of adverbial clauses.
In a 10-question test these was the question:
¿Por qué lo ________ ?
Why are you cursing him?
I expected the answer would be a gerund, but it was not. Why was "cursing" used and not "curse?" As in, "Why (do) you curse him?"
In "ellos consiguen borrar los malos pensamientos de su cabeza," why is it not "de sus cabezas" since we said "ellos"?
