One of the test questions is:
"________ al colegio ha habido problemas.
Since this girl arrived at school there have been problems."
which I answered as:
"Ya que esta niña llegó",
which was marked as wrong.
Why can't I think that "Since" here has causal value, which would render my answer correct?
I think you have the A1 and B1 verb lists switched for this topic. There are 28 verbs on the A1 list, including some less common ones like hervir, invertir, negar, and tremblar.
But then there are only 15 basic verbs on the B1 list.
You make this construction unnecessarily complicated. The conditional is used here simply because even the future event is stated conditionally: so-and-so “would” do such-and-such. It’s a perfect parallel to the English conditional.
la de fotos que
ha participado en numerosas producciones españolas que le han convertido en famosa
I put la han hecho famosa as the structure seems like a transitive verb but was marked wrong.
Is that because of using hacer or is it leismo
Gracias
Why is this answer not correct? It is how i translated it in my head before checking the answers.
Laura no ha venido a visitarnos por días.
te recomendaría que exploraras las ruinas en la selva y disfrutar la naturaleza
In this phrase why isn't the second verb following recomendar also a subjunctive?
Also I'm not sure why we would say tesoro español o tesoro gótico but tesoro maya is invariable
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.
