A question about a verb used.Hola, buenas tardes a todos,
Voy a intentar el pregunto en español. ¡Lo siento si es realmente malo! :))
Tengo una pregunta sobre esta frase:
‘Ese letrero no quiere decir que nosotros no podamos usar esta carretera.’
That sign isn't saying that we can't use this road.
HINT: Conjugate "poder" in El Presente Subjuntivo.
Por favor, podríais decirme:
¿Me gustaría saber, por qué se utiliza aquí el verbo querer?
¿Por qué no se utiliza solamente decir? Por ejemplo, ...no dice... o ...no está diciendo...
Para mí la frase se traduce como... “The sign ‘doesn’t want to say’...
¿Podría traducirse como ‘doesn’t wish to say’?
Gracias

on the test, the "correct" result was "tengo cincuentos años".
Do numbers change according to the noun they are adjectives of?
I am afraid I didn't meet , as yet, this expression in English and thus, I don't know its meaning. So, can't say if it is "por" or "para" ..
(probably the Spanish sentence has a well defined meaning but, with my poor Spanish, can't say what is this meaning..
I was completely thrown by the inclusion of the words "About to".
Iba a avisarte would just mean "I was going to warn you"
I was about to warn you should surely be: "Estaba a punto de advertirte" Not given as an option

Usually the conditional tense adds "would" to the verb. E.g. comería, would eat; habría, would have; vendría, would come, etc. But "should" is not the same as "would". It implies a duty or obligation, whereas "would" does not.
So debería etc. seems to be an exception because it means "should" not "would"!
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,
does saber in the negative trigger the subjunctive?the above example uses poder in the simple future
thanks julie
Hello!
"Ayer fui a la piscina y ____ la toalla."
I put "me olvidé" but got it wrong, it said "olvidé" was correct. I'm aware that you can use olvidé alone, but is me olvidé wrong? The "hint" on the bottom says "Use the grammatically correct form used with the verb olvidar."
