Hola,
I had never come across ‘hacer caso’ until now. From now on, whilst practising speaking Spanish to/with my daughter I’ll use this. It will be very useful since she never ‘pays attention’ and ignores me a lot whilst spending numerous hours on Instagram etc. :)
Another phrase that I’m unfamiliar with is ‘dares cuenta’ which is used in this reader- ...me doy cuenta... Am I correct in saying that ‘hacer caso’ and ‘darse cuenta’ are phrasal verbs? Do you cover phrasal verbs anywhere in Kwiziq?
Gracias y saludos
How long must I wait to re- take a quiz? I started low because I wanted a recap. I have gotten into bad habits but am understood. I missed a question on the last quiz and 10 minutes later I can not try again to move on? Really?
It's translated let me tell you. So why isn't there a me before let?
when do you include "Y" between parts of a number? One speaker uses it and the other does not. Vente seis anos vs. cinquenta y siete anos
Hola a todos,
No hay muchas carreteras ________ conducir despacio. There are not many roads where one can drive slowly.HINT: ¿Dónde or donde?
Although the required answer here is ‘donde’, I instinctively want to write ‘donde se puede’. So it’s ok to leave out the ‘se puede’= ‘one can’ and just use the infinitive, in this instance ‘conducir’? I appreciate that this quiz is only to determine whether to use ‘donde’ or ‘dónde’ but it just read oddly to me.
Gracias :)
I used 'a donde' as on of three possible answers, but was marked wrong:
IMPORTANT
For the long forms adónde and adonde, it is also perfectly acceptable to write them as two separate words:
adonde = a dondeadónde = a dóndeFor example:
Iremos adonde/a donde tú quieras.¿Adónde/a dónde vas?In the lesson you give examples for estar deseando in imperfect, but not for tener ganas de. I feel pretty sure I could use tener ganas de in imperfect as well, but neither seems to fit well with preterite.
Could you say more about how these two are used with other moods and tenses and what limitations, if any, exist.
EDIT: Sorry, I see you answered part of this in an earlier reply. However, could you indicate any other limitations that might apply. I wonder about subjunctive too.
