I wonder why a "to" is shown after "to tend." Since the examples have an infinitive after a conjugated "tend," it seems the extra "to" is superfluous.
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?
"Spanish online reading and listening practice - level A1 " but I think it should say A2.
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!
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! :)
I used all CAPS for the title of the picture as the hint suggested... I didn't realize it was only for capitalizing the first letter of each word. Could be clearer. Thanks.
¿Maquillarse en cara negra es muy racista en los EEUU? ¿Cómo se comparte información con estudiantes negras sin hacerles daño?
The question asks for the translation for "she loves him." You need to change the tense.
If the following is true:
Bear in mind that used as adjectives, the hundreds must agree with the noun they accompany:
Había veinte mil trescientas personas en el concierto.
There were twenty thousand three hundred people at the concert.
Then why is the following the opposite?
Ciento is invariable and doesn't have to agree with the noun it accompanies, for example:
Ciento treinta y cinco mil casas
One hundred and thirty-five thousand houses
