I see oenegés as the original transcript - but wouldn't it be O.N.G. like the acronym in English?
"quien había fallecido"
Just wondering, why is it que in the first example and quien in the second?
why is tenido sometimes with an accent on the nand sometimes without. The correct answer for this question was with an accent wheras another question using tenido was without. My collins dictionary says without.
Hello! I was translating the sentence "He had bought it for them."
The answer that Kwizik wanted was "Se la había comprado."
I wrote "Él se la había comprado." and it was marked wrong, but I'm not sure why. Since there is no other context, I added "él" to emphasize that it was a male doing the buying, since "había comprado" is ambiguous without it. Is this truly wrong (I'm legitimately asking -- I just started B1 and this is all quite new) or is it only wrong because the AI decided it was wrong?
I thought that porque explained the cause of something whereas como presented a fact that the listener needed to know to understand what followed (but was not the cause). It I’m not sure if that rule works with the examples here? Am I missing something?
The kwiziq page "Ser vs Estar in Spanish: Using ser in Spanish (not estar) to talk about time, days, dates and seasons" (Ser vs Estar in Spanish: Using ser in Spanish (not estar) to talk about time, days, dates and seasons) says
Hoy es lunes. = Today is Monday. ("Today" is singular.)
but
Son las tres de la tarde. = It's three o'clock in the afternoon. ("It" is plural.)
Why are these different?
There's a question about how we went to an Indian restaurant and ate everything because it was very rich. The thing they're eating is "food," but the answer wanted you to use "todo." They had it agree with the adjective of rich, but there's nothing that indicates a masculine noun.
Is "ll" pronounced "ya?"
