Proteger becomes protejo in first person present tense. Can’t you pretty much always dro the o and have the stem for the present subjunctive? For me, it is easier to remember.
It is indeed a great bonus that Inma speaks so clearly - Many thanks ! … Even after living in Spain for nearly 20 years, it is still often a struggle for me to understand people when they speak, particularly here in Andalusia... I suppose that means that you should be providing me with listening exercises [with a transcript] which feature 'rapid' conversation?
Why can't we use 'hecho en casa' for homemade instead of casero/a?
Esta correcto? En la siguiente oracion, pero en vez de sino esta usado. Creo que despues de negativo sino debe haber usado no?
Vuestros papeles no eran fáciles de entender, pero los nuestros sí
Your papers were not easy to understand, but ours were.
Judging by an answer provided for a question below, "me gustaria" is equivalent to the three "queria" forms. That's good news because I've been using "me gustaria" most often. Should that be added to the examples in this lesson?
Also, does this lesson imply that the above three forms are more polite than simply "quiero?" I've asked many here in Colombia about this and they all say that "quiero" is much more common than "me gustaria" and not considered impolite. But still, I have trouble making myself say "quiero" so i usually say "me gustaria." Maybe I should start using "queria."
I guess I have a lot of confusion around "quiero" vs. "queria" vs. "gustaria" and their proper grammar and appropriate usage.
Why whenever I use sobre in a sentence its followed only by 'la/el'? These examples are taken from the course I'm doing on Duolingo.
E.g. El gato esta sobre la mesa.
But if I use debajo its followed by 'de la/el'.
Mi celular esta debajo de la ropa.
Is there a reason for this?
Why does one use just 'la/el' but the other needs the 'de' to be marked correct?
Hi room
Why do we use por que and not para que in the sentence 'Puse todo de mi parte por que no termináramos separados'
¡Hola!
Could you tell me why it is subjuntivo that follows the expression:
"No dudo de que..."?
The full extract is:
"Antes de dormir pásabamos un buen rato por el taller del Belga, un anciano pavoroso que apareció en Aracataca después de la primers guerra mundial, y no dudo de que fuera belga por el recuerdo que tengo de sus acento aturdido y sus nostalgias de navegante" ("VIVIR PARA CONTARLA" by Gabriel García Márquez)
Doesn't "No dudo de que..." imply certainty?

Alexander
