For "I was shaking", is "estaba temblando" a valid answer? If so, is there a difference between "estaba temblando" and "temblaba"? Is there a time where it's more appropriate to use one over the other? thanks in advance!
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.
As other users have commented, "había" seems to be the past-tense equivalent of "hay".
"Había" is the past imperfect conjugation of haber, but the present tense conjugations of haber (he has ha hemos han) do not include "hay".
Is the word "hay" some other conjugation of "haber", or is not actually from the same root word?
The lesson states that if the subject is the same in both clauses you would omit que and use the infinitive in the second clause. Why is the subjunctive and not the infinitive used in the following example?
Nosotros preferiríamos que fuésemos al restaurante del centro.
We'd prefer if we all went to the restaurant in the centre.Hello. I'm a bit confused on the optional placements of "le" in sentences. For example, if i want to say "I don't want to ask my brother for money". Would both sentences below be correct? And if so, is one construction more commonly used in Mexico and Latin America?
No le quiero pedir dinero a mi hermano vs. No quiero pedirle dinero a mi hermano.
Thank you!
Would it also be possible to use "Esos que" in this context?
Would it be incorrect to say, "No me gustan los tatuajes y por eso no tengo nada" instead of ninguno?
Hi
Could the above sentence be written without 'sobre'? As it would then be similar to the English sentence. If not what difference does sobre make to the meaning of the sentence?
