I once heard that in saying "Estoy casada," there is a subtle suggestion that one is not quite as bound by the marriage than if one had said "Soy casada." Any truth to that?
It's not clear which preposition to use with quien for Whose, For Whom / To Whom and With Whom?
Is the below correct?
Whose = de quien
For Whom / To Whom = para quien
With Whom = con quien
iHola!
Could you please clarify the point:
No se marcha porque está cansado (No se marcha y la causa es que está cansado)
No se marcha porque esté cansado, sino porque se ha enfadado (Se marcha y la causa no es que está cansado)
I've come upon a sentence:
No vino porque no quisiera, sino porque no pudo (The translation says: He did not come not because he didn't want, but because he could not)
So I wonder if it really says that somebody didn't come. I guess one "not" is missing
Regards,
Alexander
The answer is ‘los’ but since the construction is ‘ver a’ and the prepositions are already used for the names, I don’t see why it is not the indirect object pronoun ‘les’ required.
Being in a specific location "They" (Implicit in venden), could be the shop owners or staff and it would not be impersonal. I know it fits the format of the lesson but in this situation, I would have thought "se venden" would have been a more impersonal expression with no possibiloity of ambiguity.
For this lesson, would it be correct to say that you generally conjugate the verbs ending in "ar" to "aba" (e.g. hablar becomes hablaba) and that you conjugate verbs ending in "er" and "ir" to "ía" (e.g. soler becomes solía)?
Hi Inma,
This lesson says that sometimes haber in the imperfect subjunctive can replace haber in the conditional; but doesn't say when. I had a tutor in Mexico who claimed (that least in some cases) the construction had to be hubiera....hubiera; whereas a Mexican friend said the construction is always hubiera.....habría or vice versa depending on which clause comes first. This lesson seems to say you can replace habría with hubiera in this construction if you feel like it. Can you clarify this for me, please?
A shorter sentence "mucha gente come uvas juntas" uses juntas!
Both la gente y las personas are feminine nouns. Why juntos (masculine)?
