Hi,
I have mentioned before the speed at which some of the example sentences are said and I wondered whether it is structured.
I presume that this lesson is solely for A1 level students. If so, there is a sentencs that is so fast that I cannot hear all of the syllables.
In "Andrea juega al ..." I find it difficult to hear all of the syllables near the start of the sentence.
Could it be that the sentences are slowed for the lower levels and speeded up as we become more adept at listening to Spanish?
Sorry to complain but I find the course suits my needs and this tweak would make it even better for me. I don't know whether others would agree.
Many thanks.
Colin
One of the links above (Ser or Estar?) talks about DOCTOR CLIF. DOCTOR for "ser" includes description, origin, character, time, occupation, and RELATIONSHIP. Is that wrong or am I missing something?
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.
As far as I can see, the text doesn’t discuss ‘hasta’ which is listed as an option in the answers but marks as wrong. My dictionary seems to have some examples where ‘hasta’ is used for movement towards a place. What is the distinction?
Hola,
In a Spanish show, a character says to another:
Tú no sales de aquí hasta que no me traigas a ese chico.
Which I believe roughly translates to "You are not to go out until you bring this guy to me." If that is the case, could you explain why the subordinate sentence would be negated with no. Wouldn't it be:
Tú no sales de aquí hasta que me traigas a ese chico.
Thank you for your help!
Why am I marked wrong because of this?
I'm not clear on what you mean by "(= a plural)"
Thanks
