Never mind, I figured out that "Notice how in Spanish we need to add "y" between the tens and the units (cincuenta y cuatro)" means the "y" is only after tens and not, say, for 3606.
Does using the accidental se structure require the use of the perfect tense [haber (conjugated to item forgotten)+ past participle "olvidado"] or can I use the preterite (indefinido) also?
For example:
Perfect -> Se me ha olvidado la toalla.
Preterite -> Se me olvidó la toalla.
Sounds weird, but just asking for clarification since I didn't see any discussion of specifically using the HABER + Olvidado structure.
Cheers!
In some regions where English is spoken, they do the same thing. I don't do it, but I've heard people say things like "I'm gonna eat myself a big fat sandwich." This may be helpful for the English speakers who use this to understand the concept.
In the quiz I got mi madre tine dos primos and I put Itanianas but the correct answer was Italianos why is this? I thought since they are talking about a woman it would be a feminine. Sorry if this sounds rly stupid just really stumped me.
Is "Luis se comió el pastel" the same as "Luis comió todo el pastel", which would just be a crude translation of english?
Presumably "Luis se comió todo el pastel" would be just repetition?
Would "Luis comió el pastel"? allow that he may only have eaten some of it.
"Luis se comió pastel" maybe does not make sense?
En el ejemplo "Siempre ellos están cominedo chocolates", no significa que ahora mismo comen chocolates sino en general comen chocolates. Asi que creo que la oración corecta es "Siempre ellos comen chocolates". No necesito user presente progresivo. ¿Correcto?
If one were to say, "I had foreseen that he would come", which of these is more appropriate: "Yo había previsto que " + "iba a venir" / "vendría" / "viniera"? Can the subjunctive be used with prever like this?
Gracias.
The hint says "transmitir", but the actual verb given as the first answer uses the spelling "trasmitir" without the n. I believe this is the less common spelling. "Transmitir" is given as an alternative answer, but perhaps should be given in the first answer.
¡Muchas gracias!
Shouldn't the correct answer be 'alguno‘? The quiz says correct answer is 'algunos'. Even the AI said correct answer is 'alguno'.
