Why did we use ustedes instead of usted ?
Hi,
The two problems with use of English posted some time ago are still not fixed. Hence, I'm still struggling to get to grips with this lesson.
"If I went to the hairdresser's" in English means; "If I were to go". They are equivqlent.
Similarly. "If he had an accident" is equivalent to " if he were to have an accident".
In both cases, the first sentence is common usage. The second using the the subjunctive is very uncommon in everyday English.
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?
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
Preferir... que... just means: prefer... than... .Doesn't it?
Preferir... en vez de... means: prefer... rather than.... Why? I don't understand.
Thank you so much
In the last line, why " vive a Madrid" not " vive en Madrid"?
If I had answered, "Me estoy muriendo de sed" instead, would it be viewed as correct?
If I say tengo que is this the same as necessito que for example tengo que ir or necessito ir
