Would 2001 years be los dos miles y uno año or would mil still be singular.
Hello, can you please explain the choice of el pretérito (creció) as opposed to el imperfecto (crecía) in this context? I thought that perhaps the time marker "con el tiempo" might indicate a more extended time period, and thus signal el imperfecto. Thank you!
El problema habría sido resuelto en dos minutos por mí.
The correct answer was "…por mí en dos minutos."
Thanks. K
The question is:
No ________ papeles al suelo.
You must not throw papers on the floor.
HINT: Choose the correct passive form.
The four possible answers are:
se puede tirar
se puedes tirar
te puede tirar
se pueden tirar
The correct answer given is se pueden tirar. Should it not be:-.... “No se deben tirar papeles al suelo”
Why is it wrong to put. "No tenía una casa"? i.e include "una" in the translation of : I didn't have a house.
How do I enter an inverted question mark at the beginning of the question?
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.
English "Has drunk" or "drank"
Can't say "Has drank"
Hi Inma,
