Spanish language Q&A Forum

Hi Inma,

that's interesting. I will check when my grammar books were printed.Thanks for your prompt reply

Is it correct that "quedar" can also mean "to be (located)"?

E.g.  In a supermarket you might ask "¿Dónde quedan los cereales?"

¡Hola!

Let's have a look at the examples:

1) 

- Sorry, I couldn't come yesterday, I was a bit busy

- You couldn't have come anyway,  roads were blocked because of the snowfall

2) 

- I saw Maria yesterday

- You can't have seen her. She left for Bahamas three days ago  

How can I express these ideas in Spanish by means of the verb poder and perfect infinitive?

Regards, 

Alexander

Your English original is: "the tango is one of the most sensual dances that exists in the world". During the course of the exercise, I felt that "exists" should really be plural, so I put "existen" in my translation answer - and that was accepted as correct. However, your final Spanish version still makes it singular.

Hola,

I'm intrigued that the threats are interpreted with a question mark, rather than an exclamation mark. Are they interchangeable?

Gracias,

Hello, I'm wondering why the subjunctive here is used but then not in the same sentence:

"no la dejes ir y cuida su amistad"

shouldn't it be: "no la dejes ir y cuide su amistad" since both are suggestions?

Thank you

Why is Cómo estás? wrong when the question asks for all possible answers for asking an elderly man? What if an elderly man is asking another elderly man?
