I have a question about constructions like this: "Omar y Cristina son nuestros panaderos," e.g. "Omar and Cristina are our bakers." I understand it is "nuestros" because it is the nosotros form of the possessive adjective. However, I'm confused about the gender. Why is it masculine here?
Hi, there are two questions on the quiz that I don't understand: (1) "Esos chicles son mentolados pero ____ no tienen sabor" and (2) "Esos estudiantes van a viajar a Asia pero ________ no tienen dinero." Kwiziq is saying that the correct demonstrative pronoun in both cases is "estos." However, my understanding was that demonstrative pronouns should vary in gender with the noun they refer to, unless it isn't known or we are referring to statement, idea, or situation. In 1, the noun being referred to is "chicles," which is a masculine plural noun, so the demonstrative pronoun should be "estes," not estos, correct? With 2, I understand that we may not know the gender of the group, so we use esto. Can you explain?
Si, me gustaría mucho tener una llama como mascota pero tenía un kangaroo como mascota por muchos años. Creo que son mas carinosas que las llamas.
In the last sentence, the word "ojalá" has the accent in the wrong place.
Un amigo espanol me dejó que "La mujer con la que está hablando" es correctecto pero "La mujer con quien está hablando" no es correcto. Puedes explicar la diferencia?
Can a demonstrative adjective such as "este" for example, ever be used alone to signify a person or thing?
Por ejemplo:
Ana irá a la escuela con Pedro con la condición que ESTE lleve sus libros.
I missed “que” in my comment below. Shirley.
