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?
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?
"Me llamo Juan". I am confused because there is no verb. Is it incorrect to say "Me llamo es Juan"? Where else in Spanish are verbs omitted?
Gracias
There is an error above.
Hola,
In this statement, just wondering why there is the preposition after llamamos?
Después de la fiesta llamamos a un taxi.
I know we have a lesson on prepositions for movement verbs, and guess this comes under the 'purpose' part of that?
Do you have any resources (or planned) to go into this a bit more?
Gracias,
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?
Luis told me where he had gone on holiday. : Luis me dijo ___ había ido de vacaciones.
The stated answer is “dónde” (with an accent), but this usage seems to be that of a relative pronoun. What am I missing? Why is it “dónde” (with an accent)
