If it is a polite request, why use the tú form rather than the usted form?
Why does Inma say "Estoy casada..." I would think that being married would use "ser" since it is considered to be a permanent state of being rather than temporary.
I got this incorrect: Translate: It is ten to nine. My answer: Son las diez meno nueve. Correct Answer: Son las nueve diez. Isn't that 9:10, rather than what the question is asking
They should drink quite a lot.They must have drunk quite a lot.They actually drank quite a lot.They couldn't drink a lot.Sorry to be persnickety--"drunk" is only an adjective in English, never a verb. "Have drank" is the correct form.
(Sorry, this is not really a question, but a hopefully helpful comment.)
Colloquially in English we often use the future tense to express present probabilities or predictions, just like the Spanish. E.g. We could say "I'm not sure where John is, but he'll be practising his Spanish I should think." Or "Do you think Fred has arrived home yet? Oh, he'll be relaxing with his feet up by now."
