Hola,

In the above phrase, could 'duchar' be used and what would the difference be in meaning?

Gracias y saludos.

Maybe this is covered in a lesson I haven't gotten to yet, but can you explain how "ni siquiera" is functioning in this sentence? 

Thanks! 

Hi,

I was wondering why this sentence uses the indicativo in the si-clause:

"me dijo que si la regaba y crecía como una planta, tendría un perro"

Isn't the mom seeing this condition as something not at all likely to happen? Does not the use of the conditional in the main clause also indicate that it is less likely and therefore require the subjunctivo?

Thanks!

SpanishDict does not have a tilde for sonar but you did.  Why the difference?

Hello,

I was just wondering about this today, how to tell when to use the subjunctive or the future.  Both have this element of uncertainly - to a certain degree - haven't happened as yet and both deal with maybes, etc. The future is never really set in stone.

For example : I will go out when the sun shines.  I think that in Spanish this could be said in either future or subjunctive, i.e.:

Saldré cuando brille el sol.

Saldré cuando brillará el sol.

Can you help me better understand this. 

Thank you.

Nicole

Hola,

re: punctuation:

Spanish dictation exercise SOUTH SUMMIT (A1)

Re: sentence in test: "en Madrid Barcelona Málaga Méjico y Colombia. "

I was wondering why there are no commas, as usually these would take commas? 

Also could you direct me to lessons on punctuation, it seems to be different than French and/or English.

I did a search but nothing came up.

Thank you, Nicole

I have become accustomed to value judgements taking the subjunctive. The best thing about this date was...

Is the subjunctive also possible in the next clause?

Thanks!

How are you supposed to know which one to use in this lesson?
