Exclamativos con quién¡Hola!
I would like to pay your attention to the following constructions:
Quién + iba a/podía/podría + infinitivo de pensar, suponer... + que (+ sujeto) + iba a + infinitivo/condicional/imperfecto de indicativo (+sujeto)
Examples taken from GRAMÁTICA DE USO DEL ESPAÑOL: Teoría y practica C1 - C2 by Luis Aragonés y Ramón Palencia. Unidad 27
¡Quién podía pensar que Lorenzo tenía dos hijas!
¡Quién podría pensar que la empresa tenía pérdidas!
Could you tell me whether the mentioned examples refer to the Present and past tenses are used because of Concordancia de Tiempos or to the Past?
If they refer to the Past, is it possible to use Pesente and Pluscuamperfecto in the second part to express different periods of time?
Regards,
Alexander
hi the Link to the wider lesson on this isnt working. When will it be available?
Im currently working on the idea that (in Spain) spaniards use the present perfect (when English would use the simple past) when there is a sense that the verb happened in the recent past, or otherwise related to the present in some way. e.g you SAW the film THIS week, we SAW your parents (maybe THIS morning), or they SAW the sunrise (last night).
is this right?
Thank you David and Inma for your replies.
But, is the sentence not really: (Nosostros) érasmos nosotros los que ...?
And 'los que' would mean 'ones who'?
Saludos,
Colin
Why lo de que? Maria is a noun. Why isn't it lo de?
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"?
