vuelven
están volviendo
It makes me smile every time I see the character names used in the sentences... My father’s name was Luis and my brother is called Rafa (Rafael)! A happy coincidence :)
Hi!
So in another Q&A, a commenter said "Ahora lo tengo", expressing that now they "understand it" or they "got it". Does that work in Spanish? I haven't found a lot about that on translation websites.
Thank you!
Just a query.. why is it " tenemos que conocer nuestras emociones" (no "a"), but "para poder controlar a estas" (with the personal "a") in the same sentence referring to the same object? Is this inconsistency typical of conversational speech?
1. You marked my "continúa" as incorrect, telling me to remove the tilde (but you then included the tilde in your final version).
2. You told me to "Use a conjunction other than conque for 'so'", and then you proceeded to use "conque".
In the reading exercise Espiritu Navideño, the woman is described as espíritu mágico de Navidad. How come, the ending is not changed to match the feminine "mujer"?
ln the present tense version of this lesson we learned that we could use the infinitive (sometimes) by dropping the "que". (The "sometimes" was not really explained, but I think one of the users may have clarified it in the comments.) Are we to infer from its omission in this lesson that we cannot similarly use the infinitive when the first clause is in the pretérito?
Ella ________ famosa después del anuncio de la tele. She became famous after the advert on the TV.
This example seems to be a consequential change (resulting from being on TV) not a voluntary change. The answer given is hacerse, but volverse seems more adequate if my understanding is correct. But this isn't even listed as a verb of change in the lesson.
Isn't quedarse a better choice than hacerse? I thought hacerse meant a change as a result of a conscious and voluntary effort on the part of a person undergoing the change?
These verbs are so confusing!!!
It looks to me like the helping verb is not in the pretérito perfecto but rather the Present pretérito perfecto. This may seem like a nit picking question but I am confused by the different names I see for the same tense in different sources.
