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.
This lesson is difficult to understand because all of the examples use the Perfect form of the verb instead of also using the Preterite or Imperfect form. Could you change this to include examples with all the forms (as many of the test sentences don't use the Perfect form). Thank you.
I love that you've standardized your terminology for the tenses and published it in a well-formatted and complete table (thank you!), but I do keep getting tripped up by the use of "Pretérito Perfecto" to mean the Compuesto and not the Simple. (My primary reference is from the Real Academia.)
This seems similar to the Se accidental construction with the exception that the action is happening directly to the object instead of indirectly. In both instances the action seems to be unattributable.
From what I see in the lesson these two should both work in Claudia xxxxx 2 minutos ….
Can I retake my placement exam? The placement exam I took was from a long time ago and I don’t think it accurately reflects my current level.
This might be a sensitive question, but if the García family consists of a widowed mother and three daughters, would we say “Las García” or would we still consider the father to be a part of the family in a legacy sesnse? How about in the case of divorce? Thanks.
Why is “Las voces” translated as “Those voices” instead of “The voices?”
Hi, I think the explanation above is misleading as I don't understand the difference among the three forms. The examples given also seem to show they can be used interchangeably, but It doesn't seem to be the case when I looked at the discussion. Grammar is my weak point, so the explanation regarding tenses still leaves me confused. Can I get a strong example of when to use which?
Hola,
I'd like to know in this sentence, whether we should use "menor" or not:
La familia actual se ha reducido, el numero de hijos cada vez es menor? menos?
Muchas Gracias!
