I need to have my eyes tested. The correct answer is "Me necesitan hacer una revisión de ojos." But for some reason that just sounds odd to me. I could understand "Me revisáron los ojos" as meaning "I got my eyes checked" -- something that got done to me by some un-named third party. But it just sounds weird to say "me necesitan" something. I guess because the other examples deal with having something done to me, and this example relates to the third party have a state of mind or need. Is this format with necesitar common?
?Por qué usas "muchAs frutAs" (género femenino) al principio de esta cuenta, pero al fin dices que "La guayaba es otrO de lOs frutOs en temporada"(género masculino)?
!gracias!
This sentence was marked as incorrect:
Cuando ella abra sus regalos en navidad a menudo tiene perfume.
The english translation was that often when she opens presents she gets perfume. Doesn't that denote possibility in the future and so it should be subjunctive?
Most of this seems too awkward of grammar. Like that.
I think you will have had to be desperate to speak to utter this.
Hello,
Can you please explain why in this exercise it is only correct to use preterito imperfecto in the third sentence: Teníamos que conseguir muchos puntos para acceder al tesoro escondido - even though the story starts in the indefinido tense. A few sentences later it jumps again to indefinido: Este juego nos ayudó a ser pacientes - while the rest of the sentences are in the imperfecto tense.
Thank you :)
What if I want to use querer in el preterito indefinido, but I don't want it to be interpreted as tried or refused? Por ejemplo:
Yesterday, I wanted apples, but today I don't.
The action is complete, it requires the preterito indefinido, but I don't want to interpret the sentence as: Yesterday, I tried apples, but today I don't.
'Tis a conundrum for me.
For example "They are talking about the least successful novel ever written", can I say "Hablan de la novela menos exitosa jamás escrita"?
It seems Juntos can either be placed directly within the verbal phrase, almost, like an adverb:
ir + juntos + a
or
follow the phrase, ir al cine juntos.
