I would like to practice with possessive adjectives & pronouns, especially with the third person singular and plural
Where, in this rich Qwizik, can I find this kind of exercises ?
Thanks !
Hola todos,
in the examples like Nuria has lived in California for 3 months, shouldn't it be: Nuria has been living in California for 3 months to express that it is still ongoing?
In the test I was similarly irritated with the sentence I have lived on a boat for 4 weeks, which I would translate as He vivido en un barco por 4 semanas, but the only option making sense was the one having the form explained in this lesson.
Of course I may be wrong, English isn't my first language.
How many distinct classes of irregular verbs are there in the subjunctive present tense?
If it is possible to say, how many distinct irregular verbs that do not belong to a class, such as ir, are there in the subjunctive present tense?
Knowing the answers to these questions could help me form a strategy to learn them most effectively and efficiently. I would love to simplify the learning of this topic.
Thank you, James
In English, we also say that a book is "heavy reading" when the subject matter is academic or complicated and detailed. A subtle difference between heavy reading and difficult to read. A book might be difficult to read if it is badly written. Not quite the same as "heavy reading"
Does the same subtle difference exist in Spanish?
I learned that you can use the futuro simple and the condicional simple to express something which might happen in the future.
Is the difference that the futuro simple only can be used with a sentence which states the probability of the action?
E.g.:
Tú ________ chocolate sin parar
Comerías
Pero:
Probablemente, tú comerás chocolate sin parar.
If my assumption is correct, what is the difference to:
Probablemente, tú comerías chocolate sin parar.
Hola,
Where there is a double vowel, such as leer, is the accent always placed on the second of the two vowels, ie leérmelo, etc?
Gracias,
Could you also say “Me había regalado un esqueje”?
Hola,
I've seen this pattern and just learned it by rote, but I'm wondering why when I see venir and salir, and probably others I can't recall right now, the preposition follows the verb?
Usted normalmente sale a comer a las dos. (You usually go out to eat at two o'clock.)
Why isn't it sale comer a las dos, or Vienen nadar todos los domingos?
I guess some rule has bypassed me at some point? What I'm most concerned is that past venir and salir, I'm going to get it wrong with other verbs.
Muchas gracias,
Hola Inma,
Can you clear something up for me?The question was given in this format "Está bien que vosotros ________ todas las noches."
It seems like an impersonal statement but isn't the usual structure Ser+Adjetivo+Que ..... hence: "Es bueno que leáis todas las noches?"
Saludos. John
