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”
I understand that pronouns can be left out and the subject is determined by the context of the sentence. I am not very familiar with Castillian, so can "vosotros" be left out in the above sentence and still be grammatically correct?
While experimenting with nunca in negative sentences for a while, my instinct kept telling me to include the definite article in one particular construction, where it would not be required in any of the others.
ie. Never eat sweets before dinner (imperative)
= No comas nunca LOS dulces antes de la cena
Could you clarify for me 1) if the article is actually required here at all, or 2) if it could be used correctly as an option.
"Cómo ________ usted el cambio? ¿en monedas o billetes?
How would you like your change? In coins or notes?
querría
quiso
quieres
quisiera
se gustaría
querrá"
Why would "se gustaría" be incorrect here?
English "Has drunk" or "drank"
Can't say "Has drank"
Could the same sentence be used to refer to the past?
For example: Anoche fuimos a una fiesta. Después de la fiesta llamamos a un taxi.
Thanks
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.
The question in the lesson was "Do you have a toaster?" (it did not specify formal or informal 'you'). My answer was Tiene usted and was marked wrong. I think it's correct
In the quiz question "se les han acabado las camisetas que me gustaban" what job is "les" doing?
Hello, in this exercise the English for litre is spelt "liter" in one of the lines. Thanks
