Si alguien me pregunta ¿A qué planta vas? en el ascensor, ¿cómo contesto? Se pueda decir ‘a la quinta’ por ejemplo o ‘al cinco’? Gracias
The correct answer here shows both verbs in imperfect tense. Why is using preterite in the first clause and imperfect in the second clause incorrect? The lesson shows both examples in the past tense.
This was listed as B2, but required knowledge from C1 areas: Using dicho, dicha, dichos, dichas to say this/these (formal) and Using Spanish relatives el que, la que, los que, las que = the one/ones who/that (relative pronouns)
Can tanto be used instead of cuánto in some of these instances? For example: Hemos comido tanto pollo!
Como ves, mamá sabía que si ellos comían de ese fruto, pensarían que ya no la necesitaban.
Why is yo me sumerjo los manos wrong here ?
I have the same question as Ryan B., below. “ In the last 2 examples, the subjects are:
Mis cortinas nuevas y las negociaciones.
Obviously, the position of the subjects is different. Is there any reason or do they have the same meaning?
Could, for example, the first 3 sentences be written as..
Secretarias con experiencia se buscan.
El periódico barato se vende aquí.
Apartamentos de lujo se venden en la playa.
?
Por fin...
Could the last two sentences be written as ..
Se han hecho mis cortinas nuevas en dos días.
Se harán las negociaciones pronto.

As other users have commented, "había" seems to be the past-tense equivalent of "hay".
"Había" is the past imperfect conjugation of haber, but the present tense conjugations of haber (he has ha hemos han) do not include "hay".
Is the word "hay" some other conjugation of "haber", or is not actually from the same root word?
