I see here that querer does not have an accent for the first person preterito indefinido: quise, whereas some verbs have one, like compré - is there a rule that I can apply to distinguish it, or is it just because querer is irregular?
Thanks
I don't want to quibble about details with native teachers but I was puzzled by the tip box at the bottom of this lesson saying "Remember that after poder(conjugated in any tense) you will always find an infinitive. "
I'm unsure what to make of this given that I have not always found an infinitive after poder. The example that immediately came to mind was "No puedo más." Which I stuck out in my mind precisely because I found it odd that "puedo" was NOT followed by another verb.
Would it be more correct to change this sample sentence:
"Puede que yo haya sido un poco brusca, pero tenía que decir la verdad."
Vs.
"Puede que yo haya ESTADO un poco brusca....."? \
Thanks for your input.
I think the translation should be three thirty no half three.
wish to learn mainland Spanish not Latin American. I keep getting marked as incorrect on this question. Then your first sentence on the help confirms for mainland Spanish my answer is correct. Please help.
Hi, translators are saying it should be:
Qué día tan maravilloso
but
Qué terrible accidente
Can you explain the different placement of the adjective in these examples please? And why "qué accidente tan terrible" doesnt' seem to be an option?
Thanks,
Jenny
I am looking to update my groups and a few students have graduated. How do I remove them?
Suggestion, along with having vocabulary words presented before each exercise also have the lessons that one should have done/review prior to doing the exercise. For example, somehow I did missed the lesson on conjugating in the near future lesson, and I was lost with those sentences. Thanks.
In this text, 'those who' is translated in two different ways.. are they sinónimos?
quienes osaban visitarlo podían susurrar sus anhelos
Aquellos que se adentraban en la oscuridad del bosque
I used 'los que'. Is that always wrong?
Gracias
