In a question requiring the answer "Sevilla es una de las ciudades más bonitas de España" I put en instead of de and was marked incorrect. However, as the lesson states, this isn't incorrect but simply 'less common'. In fact, isn't it so that a closer translation of the 'de' here might be '...one of the most beautiful Spanish cities' rather than '...cities in Spain'?
I don't understand why naranja is plural in one example and singular in the other.
Puedes coger las flores naranja del jardín.You can take the orange flowers from the garden.Estas flores naranjas son muy bonitas.These orange flowers are very pretty.The examples for "nueva bici" and "bici nueva" towards the end of the lesson contradict both the earlier examples and the table showing the different meanings for the adjectives depending on placement.
This is really nitpicking but I think this can be worded a little more clearly:
"Notice that cada is invariable and is always followed by a singular noun, except when there is a number before the noun, in which case it needs a plural: " I suggest replace "it" with "the noun" . I know preposition refers to the last noun before it but in this case I was confused because I thought it meant "cada" that should be plural. I think because I assumed the noun would obviously be plural.
What are the equivalents for can't & must not for logical conclusions in Spanish? That is, how can I express the difference in meanings given in the following examples?
(present)
The restaurant can't be open - the door is locked
The restaurant must not be any good - it is always empty
(Past)
He had left the office at 6:00 p.m. He can't /couldn't have been at home at 6:05 p.m
She was not answering the doorbell. She must not have been at home then.
Regards,
Alexander
No me gustan los tatuajes y por eso no tengo ________.
Shouldn't it be "ningunos" because tatuajes is masculine and plural?
no entiendo por que, en español , necesita usar "hay" por una oración: "Hay niebla" --pero, no puedo usa la misma estructura para la expresión -- "Esta soleando". Lo se que el ley es usar "hay" siguen por un noun y usa "hay" después un adjetivo --pero no es "niebla" un adjetivo también? verdad?
