I disagree strongly with this answer. Despite the fact that the future tense can be used for speculation, the norm in conversation is "Qué pasa?" in everyday conversations. At best, both responses should be marked correct. I think it would be well for Kwiziq to center responses on normal, everyday conversations in quizzes rather than obscure literary ones.
I asked kwiziq to search “ Meter vs Poner” to teach me the nuances between both meaning to put. It failed. Why?
Do you mean that *ese* is used when both conditions are true or just one?
“ese, esa, esosand esas are translated as that and thoseand they all refer to:1. objects/people that are near the listener (not the speaker)
2. objects/people that are far from the speaker (medium distance)”
I'm assuming that before using this form the paragraph would start out using a tense that would ground the event in the past. Thus I'm assuming you would not start out saying "Martina se llevará una gran sorpresa al ver de nuevo a su madre". You'd instead start out with saying ""Martina pensaba que su madre había fallecido" or something else that signals we're talking about the past. Is this right?
How can I know which form of the ordinal number to use? For example, twelfth has three forms. Are there particular circumstances when one is called for in lieu of another?
Sorry for not writing in Spanish. I´m not there yet.W
Hola! Gracias por ese punto de gramática. Tenía una pregunta sobre ese tema. Porque decimos ''vete'' (go away!) en lugar de ''vate''? Porque la tercera persona del singular al presente del indicativo es ''él/ella va''. Porque utilizamos el presente del subjuntivo aquí? Gracias :-)
My quiz included the example: 'Éramos nosotros los que llamamos a la puerta.'
Why is the pronoun positioned after the conjugated verb in this case?
