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?
¡Qué ________ sois vosotras dos! How aggressive you two are!(HINT: "peleón" = masculine for aggressive)… why is the answer peleonas?
Are ´con tal de que´and ´a condición de que´ interchangeable ?
Hello,
I am really confused, why abrir is irregular?
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.
"Le compré flores."
Does this mean:
I bought her flowers (for her)
or
I bought flowers from her
How do I make it clearer, unambiguous?
Thank you.
This goes against everything else I have learned or am learning in the classroom - I cannot remember two sets of rules. Any correct answer should be marked as correct, whether the so-called Latin American version or Spanish version. There doesn't need to be only 1 correct answer.
On two occasions the text moved on before I could submit my answers and on another occasion it didn't let me submit an answer as I had maybe pressed a key which triggered the "Not sure about that one?" response.
Hi,
What is the difference in meaning between using the imperative tense as in "Los jubilados acababan de ..." and the present tense as in "Ustedes acaban de ..."?
Thanks.
Saludos,
Colin
