I personally find it helpful to bear in mind that all verbs ending in "-etir" follow the above-mentioned e>i pattern [like competir] - e.g. repetir and derretir.
And - because 'd' is just the voiced form of 't' - some people may like to extend this guide to include all the "-edir" verbs as well; e.g. pedir, impedir, medir.
Hi - In your topic on El Condicional Simple, the description reads as follows : "El Condicional Simple expresses hypothetical actions that would or might happen in the past and in the future. It is also used to express wishes, to give advice and suggestions or to invite and ask in a polite way."
How does one differentiate between this description and the use of El Futuro Simple for the use in prediction, probability and speculation? Seems quite confusing and overlapping.
Hi there,
I have a question about the final sentence of the exercise. Why does 'hasta que' invoke the subjunctive here when the action is in the past? Thanks.
Hola,
Here is my train of thought. "Ayer estuve en un concierto:" "Yesterday" requires the pretérito indefinido because it refers to a completed action at a time in the past, and the verb is estar because it is referring to a location; hence estuve.
However I am stuck with "Fue en San Juan:" Is San Juan not a location? If so, would it require the verb estar rather than ser?
It would be great if you could explain this.
Many thanks.
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?
Another common idiom is "no ver la hora (de)"
¡No veo la hora! - I can't wait!
or
No veo la hora de volver a casa. - I can't wait to return home.
What are verbs “like gustar”?Wouldn’t that include other verbs expressing feelings about something, like “fascinated”?So “a mi tambien” would be right?
Hiya,
It seems to me that you can use ito/ecito fairly interchangeably...can you explain whether there is a difference? I believe ecito is more common in Spain than Latin America?
Thanks :) Nat
Although I got the correct answer to this eg. Sin caerte , I don’t understand why the answer is informal but the question is formal. Sube and not Subes.
A quiz question asks “vas a venir al cine mañana?”. In English it seems more common to say “are you going to go the movies tomorrow?” (or simply “are you going to the movies tomorrow?”) Any insights into this use of venir instead of ir?
