Hello, in one of the lessons I read Tal Vez accepts both indicative and subjunctive, but when I included the indicative in my answer to the following question, it was marked wrong.
Tal vez ________ una gala benéfica para los niños pobres.
There might have been a charity gala for poor children.(HINT: Conjugate "haber" in El Imperfecto de Subjuntivo)hubohabríahubierahubieseCould you please explain?
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?
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 :)
Are por qué no/ mejor no only used with vamos? Or are these phrases more commonly used for all commands (not just ir)?
For the road signs, are they third person singular for affirmative commands, and third person plural for negative commands? Or are both singular and plural third person used equally for either negative or affirmative commands?
Hello,
I am really confused, why abrir is irregular?
Can tanto be used instead of cuánto in some of these instances? For example: Hemos comido tanto pollo!
I am a little confused with terminology. Are Preterite Indefinido and Preterite Perfecto the same thing? As others have highlighted, I am confused with the past perfect and preterite perfect.
Using esquiar as an example: I skied = Yo esquié; I have skied = He esquiado; I used to ski = Yo esquiaba; I have been skiing = Yo estaba esquiado. Am I wrong with these examples?
