I'm not sure if i like this new format... not sure if it's my computer or an update on your end, but any time i select an answer (even if i try clicking outside of it), it's saying that the questions is unanswered... i don't understand why it's not accepting my answers when I am selecting them.. it's BEYOND frustrating.
may i check if both situations mean the same thing?
I will speak to her when she gets home.
because i do not know when will she get home so i will use subjunctive.
How about if i DO know when she will get home and i am referring to the future time when she gets home, say maybe 9pm, is this still using subjunctive? although i do know the time, we are speaking of a non general situation that is happening in the future. Does this trigger the subjunctive too?
Thanks
The example sentence:
"En esta tienda pueden comprarse unas joyas muy bonitas."
The translation is given is
"You can buy very nice jewels in this shop."
However could it also be translated as:
"They can buy themselves some very nice jewels in this shop."
if we interpret the se as being an indirect object rather than passive?
Correct me if I am wrong. “La alpaca es in animal de la familia de la llama y de los camellos” means “The alpaca is an animal from the family of camels”. May you clarify why it’s mentioned “de la llama”? Can we write just “la alpaca es un animal de la familia de los camellos”?
As equivalent English examples, may I suggest:
To be opened with care.
To be applied...
rather than "Let it be opened..." etc?
The problem with saying 'either no longer true or not relevant' here creates a grey area because normally if we understand a condition to not be relevant, we would use the imperfecto, surely? See the first question in the quiz for example.
There's a question about how we went to an Indian restaurant and ate everything because it was very rich. The thing they're eating is "food," but the answer wanted you to use "todo." They had it agree with the adjective of rich, but there's nothing that indicates a masculine noun.
This app seems to find the holes in one's knowledge. I live in Spain, I'm not a fluent speaker, but I get by. I can read most Spanish papers, books etc without too many problems. Listening, not so good, but not terrible. Been here eight years . Did test, got A1! Did some of their A1 exercises, and got practically full marks. Not sure I'd pay for this, but it's more demanding than the green owl related tutor!
Why "a" El Cortes..." and not ..en?
