Some of the English answers in this exercise use the past tense in English, and some use the past perfect tense, por ejemplo:
We hope that you HAVE finished it on time. NOT We hope that you finished it on time.
I hope that you booked the restaurant in advance. NOT I hope that you HAVE booked the restaurant in advance.
In English, there may be very little difference, if any, in the meaning of the sentence, but I wonder why in some examples, "have" is used and in others, it is omitted.
¡Quién lo diría que de un tratado de contabilidad podría salir tanto vocabulario nuevo!
Un gran trabajo, ¡bien hecho!
You say it's more common to drop subject pronoun but this is not reflected in the answers
The question asks for the translation for "she loves him." You need to change the tense.
I use the app SpanishDict to help me check myself on certain concepts, especially on conjugations. For this concept, the gerund, the app uses past and present participles. Frankly, I did not receive a whole hell of a lot of instruction when it came to the difference between a participle and a gerund when I was younger but hey, I turned out ok! I have gotten the gist but the two things don't do the same thing in Spanish as they do in English. I asked a Spanish professor friend of mine about this and he said one of them (I can't remember which) was the gerund and the other is the participle. Is he correct? I got a questions wrong because I typed one form but it was actually the other. Also, is SpanishDict throwing me off?
I have a question.
Ojalá llegaran a tiempo a la estación para coger el tren que sale esta noche a las diez. (clearly referring to the future)
Here llegaran is subjunctive because of Ojala, but why is it sale (preterite) instead of saldre (future)?
Por favor ayudarme! :)
Let’s hope I win this contes!
Esperemos poder ganar este concurso …’Let’s’ and ‘I’ are two different subjects…Why isn’t it subjunctive?
Contar bringing you to encontrar table is confusing me, as it shows yo encuentro instead of cuento which is the conjugation for contar
Can tanto be used instead of cuánto in some of these instances? For example: Hemos comido tanto pollo!
