Spanish language Q&A Forum

My native language is Swedish. In all the above examples we would also use the infinitive. If this was a course for Swedish speaking people, this lesson would be unnecessary! Is Spanish grammar generally more similar to Swedish grammar than to English grammar? I don't know, but probably not.

This was just a reflection, not a question that I expect to be answered.

Do other verbs fit this pattern? Or, just these two -ir verbs?

la rodilla = the knee

los ojos = the eyes

tengo fiebre = I have a fever

la receta médica = the presciption

la enfermera = the nurse

el consultorio médico = the doctor's office

la medicina = the medicine

la farmacia = the farmacy

el farmacéutico = the farmacist (m)

la farmacéutica - the farmacist (f)

fiebre = fever 

la ambulancia = the ambulance

el hospital = the hospital

me duele = It hurts...

Would a correct answer to this also be ¿Se deben estudiar más?

Is this lesson demonstrating the use of the PRESENT perfect subjunctive after "esperar" or the PAST perfect subjunctive? If the former, why is it referred to as "Pretérito Perfecto Subjuntivo", if we ordinarily translate the word "pretérito" as "past"?

                                                           OR

To phrase this question differently, when I use "haya", "hayas", "haya", etc. plus the past participle of a verb, am I using the Present perfect subjunctive, or the Past perfect subjunctive, or, in fact, is there another name, English and/or Spanish for this conjugation?

Would it be fair to say that tan is an adjective and tanta (o,as,os) is an adverb?

Hi, I'm really struggling with this one, and there are only two possibilities!  It's "Aquí tienes 20 euro por si……. dinero para un taxi.", with the options of necesitas and necesitaras. The questions says that the speaker thinks there's a low probability of the money being needed.  The correct answer is the imperfect subjunctive, necesitaras.  I suppose that it has to be that because the present indicative is not permissible in this structure, but I don’t know why.

Thanks in advance,

Dave

Hola. Solo para que sepan... 

Esta pregunta apareció en el Quiz. Mi cuenta tiene la versión latinoamerica activada, y normalmente no vemos preguntas sobre conjugaciones de vosotros porque no la usamos. 

Es probable que ________ en el intento.It's possible that you'll die trying.(HINT: Using the "vosotros" form, conjugate "morir" in El Presente de Subjuntivo.)

Why do we say "ciento por ciento"? Ciento is more than one hundred so shouldn't it only be cien por ciento and cien por cien?
