"Tú ________ el primero de la lista." (You are the first on the list.)
I made a mistake on this one by using estar. My reasoning is it referred to a location (the first position on the list). It appears the answer you're looking for is to use ser, and that the recommendation is to treat the list and its contents as descriptive.
Would this change if I said "You are the first in line?" Or should I still use the ser verb? Is it a description of a trait of the line, or is it a position that is relative?
Are these types of cases subjective? Or is it pretty common for everyone to use the same verb?
Os sugiero que estéis alerta.
Should not "alerta" be "alertas" as we talk to "them" plural You?
Hola,
I never received a reply to my 2nd question below, it starts like this:
"Hello Inma,
Thank you so much for your patience and reply.
I was wondering, is there a way I can find my questions and answers received within my page....."
see below for the full question, thank you.
¡Dios mio! Rafael Luis Díaz habló demasiado rápido para mí. No pude seguir el rítmo de su cuento. Al menos aprendí más vocabulario.
I think this also translates correctly;
Adorno el árbol de Navidad para que todos admirarlo mañana.
as an alternative to
Adorno el árbol de Navidad para que todos lo admiren mañana.
Two correct answers as choices in the original question unless hinted to use subjunctive
In the example: "Su hijo quiere que ustedes lo escuchen."
Would this be translated: Your son wants you to listen to it? As if it is a recording or radio announcement, etc?
Why the use of "lo" for "him" and not "le"?
Thanks,
Kaly
I noticed that " me pregunto cuándo van a llegar" was one of the options in this exercise. Could I have used "van a llegar' instead of "llegaràn" to express probability
In the test, I got this one wrong:
Dame todo ________ tengas en el bolso. Give me everything you have in your handbag.
The correct answer was "lo que," but I thought it was "que," my reason being that I thought "que" referred to the single word "todo." I'm still confused as to why "que" is incorrect, so any clarification would be great! Thanks.
