i am confused. there is another lesson that uses deber in perfect tense and deber in present + haber to indicate assumption that something must have happened that is expressed by the main verb as infinitive or past participle. This lesson seems to be speaking of the same thing until the last part that says
Eso debe de haber caducado hace tiempo
That must have expired some time agoI am confused by this 2 very similar lessons. may you point out the differences to me?
how do I use such structure to say something must had been done as in an assumption in the past?
¿Maquillarse en cara negra es muy racista en los EEUU? ¿Cómo se comparte información con estudiantes negras sin hacerles daño?
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?
there appears to be an error in one of the questions regarding this lesson.
The answer for "I like irish dancing" should be "me gusta...", however the correct answer is shown as "Me gustan", irish dancing is a single form of dance, not several (soy irlandes hahaha)
En la frase "me quedo comtemplándola por horas", debería ser "contemplándola".
Maribel and I used to study English at the language school. The correct answer is noted as: Maribel y yo hacíamos inglés en la escuela de idiomas. But that does not make any reference to the studying. Shouldn't it be: Maribel y yo estudiábamos inglés en la escuela de idiomas.
Thank you for the explanation in advance.
In this example:
La familia de María está contenta. María's family are happy. [U.S: is happy]
Está is singular, so wouldn't it also be translated as "is"?
