Buenas tardes Silvia y Inma,
I do understand the use of 'sentir' instead of 'oler' when referring to the 'being able to smell the aroma'. I was wondering though if 'sentir' is used in mainland Spain as well as in Latin America? Also, is 'sentir' used with any other of the 'senses', i.e. to touch, etc.?
Gracias.
Note that in El Futuro Simple, only the 3rd person form habrá is ever used on its own and it means there will be.
I don't understand the meaning of this statement. Can you explain and/or give an example?
You say in the notes:
"Sartén" is more often feminine than masculine, but both genders are correct.But in the most recent exercise I did, when the question was is "ese sartén" correct, given the gender of the noun, and I said no, my answer was marked wrong.
Is there an inconsistency somewhere?
I thought this would have used "pudo" because is said last night so we know that outcome from last night
When is de used after faltar?
I've read it's mostly a formal construction?
Como es la cultura en Paraguay y porque es importante para ellos? Que haces para expresarlo?
Hi.
This is quite a comprehensive list to refer to people from Europe and most of North, Central and South America. I notice though that “hondureño” is missing from the list of Central American nationalities. Perhaps it could be added? Also, countries in Asia, Africa and Australasia are listed in the corresponding exercise on countries but not mentioned here. Perhaps the two lists could be tweaked to make them match up? And finally, why not list “Escocia”, “Inglaterra”, “Irlanda” “ Irlanda del Norte” and “Gales” in the list of countries (companion exercise) since people from those places would rarely say - at least initially - that they’re from the “Reino Unido”?
Wouldn't this mean you both go or you guys go?
