I've been saying "bolsa" for a year and a half but I just saw a lesson example that used "bolso." A search showed many instances of both. Is it a regional difference, or is there a grammatical rule in play?
how do we know how to choose between ser and estar? i thought ser was used for permanent things but estar is for not permanent things?is that thought true?if not how do we know which to choose?
I understand the notion of using estar rather than ser when the job is temporary, but there is absolutely nothing in the question to indicate that the job is a temporary or permanent position in most of the examples If a job is to be permanent would you use ser rather than estar when referring to an appointment that someone is going to take up? In the test questions and examples, it would seem not but the lesson notes don't explakin why.
What is the rule regarding seasons of the year. When do we use the definite article el and when not. En el invierno/en invierno.
Thank you
Hi, can I say una bolsa is a handbag as well as un bolso?
In the last sentence "Fueron unos días muy felices."
Isn't "fueron" the third person plural (preterite) of "ir"? It should be followed by "a"
It seems to me that it should be "fueran" instead of "fueron"
I’ve been getting the quantifiers mixed up with how to remember they do agree with the gender and plural when it’s applied.
Especially for demasiado and poco. When is it that it does match the thing it’s describing; and when does it not?
Kind regards,
Fran
Why te fuiste and not just fuiste? Thanks!
Hola,
I took the full-in-the-blanks quiz "Asando Castañas" today and one of the blanks, where I should choose between El Subjunctivo Presente and El Indicativo Presente, was the following:
muchas personas se suman a ella con tal de pasar un buen rato,hasta que ______ (llega/llegue) el amanecer.
Apparently the correct answer was El Indicativo (llega not llegue), but I don't understand why. Isn't sunrise a future event that is yet to happen and therefore the sentence requires El Subjunctivo?
Thanks as always!
