I have always thought that cualquiera meant whatever (or whichever), as in “Choose whatever book you want”, and I have always used it that way. After reading through this lesson, I still think that lol.
Hola, querría preguntar si podemos decir "Ella se porta mal siempre cuando viene de visita" en vez de "Ella se porta mal siempre que viene de visita."
No olvidemos el ejemplo de la revolución americana. Elle estuvo la prueba que se podría lograr.
why is it quien not que
Very often in Spanish you see statements expressed both with or without the reflexive particle. Is there a difference in nuance?, I am wondering. For example, comí la torta vs. me comí la torta; murío mi mamá el año pasado vs. se murío mi mamá el año pasado...etc., etc. Is this discussed anywhere?
For those that might be interested...
The adaptation of the famous novel 'One Hundred Years of Solitude' (Cien Años de Soledad) by Gabriel García Márquez has finally arrived on Netflix!
Another Spanish film that I found very interesting is 'The Red Virgin' (La Virgen Roja) depicting the life of the famous Spanish writer Hildegart Rodríguez. This film is on Amazon Prime.
Both great films for practising our listening skills. 😀
Lesson = Me gusta viajar en tren. Why not gusto? I like = gusto, right? Also, pretty much the same question for the use of cuesta, not cuesto in this lesson. Aren't they referring to the (masculine) ticket (el billete)? I have a feeling I am missing something covered in our lessons!
(As always, thank you for your help)
If we use hechas, doesn't that mean "Why do you do that there?" As in, "Whenever we go to my parents' house, you always sulk in the corner and refuse to talk to anyone. Why do you do that there?"
I believe hechas is just as valid as echas, but it was marked incorrect. Please either accept this answer or remove this question from the quizzes.
Thank you Silvia ! ... It was probably more like a C2-level exercise, but we do of course benefit from having to make that extra effort ... Un abrazo - David M
Hi, my question is regarding the quiz item:
Pedro is going to start thinking [and continue thinking] that we're silly.
Pedro se va a quedar pensando que somos dos tontas.
Are there other possibilities for the position of the "se" ? In particular, I'm wondering about these:
Pedro va a quedarse pensando que somos dos tontas.
Pedro va a quedar pensándose que somos dos tontas.
If either of those is grammatically correct, is there any difference in meaning/tone/frequency of usage?
Thanks!
