It might be worth mentioning in Kwiziq's lesson Ya sea/ya fuera... o... to express whether... or... - [number 8284] that verbs [usually?] take the subjunctive when they are governed directly by "ya sea (que)..."
Hola,
Would that work in this case (if we saw ourselves in the current timeframe), and if it did, would it be that you could choose to either follow it with the present or the imperfect subjunctive?
He querido que vinieras conmigo de compras.
He querido que vengas conmigo de compras.
I wanted you to come shopping with me.
Gracias,
One of the listening exercises uses the parase "martes y trece" which I believe would translate to "Tuesday the 13th". Please consider adding that method of stating a date to the lesson on dates as I checked and there is no current discussion or example of this usage that I could find. Thanks for all you do!
I could substitute “which person” here. What clue should I be looking for to tell me I don’t need the accent?
Hi, just a small error. Both examples are the same.
Fui a su casa para hablar con él.I went to his house to talk to him.
Here, we could have used the preposition "a"with the same intention:
Fui a su casa a hablar con él.I went to his house to talk to him.¿Qué tiempo hace hoy? as written above is (according to my teacher from South America who speaks a high standard of Latin American Spanish) not a proper way to ask about the weather. He suggests ¿Cómo está el tiempo hoy? which is consistent with other translators I've found. I am no longer confident about the level of Spanish being taught in this program. Are the instructors native speakers who learned in their native countries?
Since the preposition “a” as a personal “a” wouldn’t “les” also be a correct?
Hola Inma,
I'd like some help with the following. Since the present and indefinido "we" form of -ar verbs are spelled the same, I would like to check something. The related lessons are all about the indefinido, but there is a strong implication that some of the events would still be on-going, such as cultivating crops etc, raising livestock and producing electricity. Do we assume that these are no longer being carried out, or does this narrative style of events over a fixed period of time allow us to use the indefinido throughout, even if some of the events have been started and are still ongoing?
Saludos
John
Is it still true that in some areas coger should be avoided due to negative connotations?
