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.
In the quiz I just took, I was supposed to translate "that famous film". I said "Esa película famosa" and was marked wrong. The answer was "aquella película famosa".
Given that the usage is somewhat subjective, and depends on how close the person feels to the object, shouldn't "esa" also be correct?
Edited to add: looks like I can't delete the question. I just went back to my quiz results, and it looks like there's a hint that I missed, that the speaker was feeling distant from the film. So that explains it.
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
I interpret "es" as "is", so how/why is "He" assumed for "Es un excelente actor." -> "He is an excellent actor"?
The question was : How would you say "If you did some exercise, you would lose weight faster." ? I understand the principle of using the subjunctive followed by the conditional simple. I don't understand why there are 2 answers.
Si hicieras más ejercicio, perderías peso más rápido.Si hicieses más ejercicio, perderías peso más rápido.Becky
It seems like many of these questions can be interpreted either way. In English, the two are often interchangeable in a given sentence depending what the speaker wishes to say. Although we have many things in common... OR Even if we have many things in common...
How do we know which translation to provide--subjunctive or indicative?
Why is it "Yo fui el primero DE mi clase" and not "Yo fui el primero EN mi clase" for "I was first in my class?" Is there any difference or is DE also acceptable?
Ustedes ________ muy felices como pareja.You used to be very happy as a couple.
