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
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.
Does this mean my little friend is mi amiguito?
why is "pretérito perfecto" translated as "present perfect"?
"Preterite" means past tense, ¿verdad?
Gracias
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!

Hola Inma,
Two questions
1. Could "trasladar" be used instead of mudar?
2. Since the subject of the story has taken a decision to move [herself] to another city, would the pronominal form mudarse / trasladarse be appropriate?
Saludos

This is a great lesson; thank you. I was told that I could use "mucho" after "Me gusta ...", for example, Me gusta mucho la música clásica. Is that correct? But, that I cannot use "Me encanta mucho..." Is that correct Could I express the idea of "really" loving something/doing something by repeating the verb, for example, "Me encanta encanta la música clásica?" Thank you.
Ella ________ saber la verdad.
With the correct answer being:
She might know the truth
In another lesson the future simple also implies ´maybe/chance of´, right?
Instead of está tumbada, I wrote está acostada. I've seen tumbarse used more in literature, but are there any others differences between these two that determined your choice in this instance?
Likewise with al mismo tiempo que, I wrote mientras instead.
These 2 were not given as alternative answers
Saludos a todos
