Why was "partido" (for "game") the correct usage in the first part of the last sentence, but then "juego" (for "game") was correct in the latter part of that same sentence?
Pati Ecuamiga
For the quiz question: "Mira a ese chico, ¡qué bueno está!
having both
" Look at that guy! He is hot!"
and
" Look at that guy! He is cute!"
as possible answers is confusing. In American English at least, there can be a great deal of overlap between hot and cute in terms of indicating sexual attractiveness. (Cute can also be applied to, say, a puppy whereas it's unlikely you would say a puppy was hot unless you meant it quite literally. It's debatable whether a cute puppy could grow into a hot dog.)
The speakers are having a phone conversation.There, where you live, is it cold? : ___, donde tú vives ¿hace mucho frío?
Why is alli not possible in this question? Considering that they are on the phone, they might feel quite far apart from each other.
It's be nice to know who the guitarist was.
Hello,
The lesson contains an example for this reinforcement:
Julián y Alberto se respetan el uno al otro.
It is not quite clear if it is gender dependent or not. If two ladies respect each other or a man and a woman, will the reinforcement change?
Thank you.
In spite of the hint that 'esos' refer to more abstract things, in the test above ( cakes) why would it be esos not eses?
s
In the last line, why " vive a Madrid" not " vive en Madrid"?
In the question:
They will be very cold when they go to Scotland next December.
It seems to me that this is a quite certain plan, like one of the examples here: ‘ Cuando voy de vacaciones a Tenerife me hospedo en el hotel Olimpia.’
So I thought the answer should be in the indicative:
Tendrán mucho frío cuando irán a Escocia el próximo diciembre.
But the correct answer was in the subjunctive:
Tendrán mucho frío cuando vayan a Escocia el próximo diciembre.
Why is that? Is it a mistake?
The lesson is clear that "bueno" in front of a noun means "great," but simply "good" if after the noun. So the instruction is that this girl simply wants a good man. But the "correct" choice is "un buen hombre"!
Can you explain why the cake is called 'tarta' in the second and third sentences, but 'pastel' in the fourth?
