i have two questions for this one first why there is an a after venir is it coz its
equivalent to be able to ?
second why five is las not la five is a number singular thx in advance for the support gracias
I wonder if there is a discussion of the pronunciation of these two words. Depending on the speaker, they sound the same to me. I have noticed in some accents in the north, there's a slight "l" sound in the ll, and even my late great uncle (from the north of Spain) had explained to me that this is a thing, but also he explained this to me a long, long ago and I just want to know if I'm hearing things correctly or if my brain's making it up. ¡Gracias!
Is anyone else just chipping away at the Spanish lessons here hoping that one day they will understand enough to have the courage to talk to someone in Spanish? I'm level B1 in the lessons, but probably A2 when it comes to writing, A1 when it comes to listening and A0 when it comes to converations!
I fully understand I won't ever be fluent unless I talk with Spanish people, but I'm level C2 at making up reasons why today just isn't the day.
My dictionary says fruit (the plant) is la fruta. Why is the sentence -Los frutos rojos and not las frutas rojas ?
Hola todos
It's a new year and I'm determined to master the subjunctive this year. So, I just got this question in a Kwiziq test
"Conjugate the vosotros form of "hablar" in El Presente Subjuntivo (Don´t talk to me like that) : No me ___ así."
Now, I did get the correct answer by selecting 'habléis'. However, strictly speaking, doesn't this answer represent the negative imperative rather than the present subjunctive? Of course both give the same answer and I understand there are crossovers in conjugations between the two tenses. But can the two have the same meaning in this case?
I understand the use of 'para' in these sentences:
¿Quieres algo para comer?
Tengo algo que contarte
Can you help?¿Necesitaba algo para escribir?
But I don't understand the use of 'que' in the following:
Can we get an option to remove hints from the tests?
For example with the following hint:
HINT: Conjugate “ser” in El Pretérito Imperfecto
There is really no point to the question, because I can easily conjugate the verb if you tell me this...the difficulty is in knowing when to use the imperfect vs the preterite.
I would also like an option to get rid of the multiple choice answers for the one or two word answers. Sometimes you can eliminate three options just based on context without actually understand the grammar that is supposedly being tested.
Right now it is too easy to get the right answer when you don't really know the topic very well.
Why was this marked wrong?
¿De dónde ________usted? - Yo soy de Venezuela.Where are you from? - I am from Venezuela.(HINT: Use verb "to be")I selected "eres" and it was marked as incorrect. The correct answer is "es." How should I have know they expected a third person answer?
Usted ________ el dinero en euros. You would be paid in euros.HINT: Conjugate "cobrar" in El Condicional Simple
This appears to be a passive construction in English. It makes me want to translate tú serías cobrado el dinero en euros.
As written, doesn't the sentence in English mean "You would pay in Euros?"
