Hi,
The word order in the above sentence confused me. If the word order was changed to:
¿Tu madre te dio el dinero?
would this change the meaning of the sentence?
If not, is the word order in the original sentence commonly used?
Thanks.
Colin
Hola Inma,
No entiendo el uso de "a" en la siguiente frase: "Muchos años de trabajo y buen producto han convertido a esta denominación en la mejor garantía ..." ( párrafo 7). ¿ Es un error tipográfico o tiene algo que ver con el verbo convertir ? He buscado en el dictionario y solo he encontrado "convertir en" y "convertir a alguien a una idea". ¿ Me podrías explicar ?
Muchísimas gracias
Ελισάβετ
Hello, I am not clear why “estaba” is used (imperfecto) but all the other verbs are in the pretérito tense. I have read all the lessons on this subject but still nearly always get the tense wrong. I think the guidance is that the pretérito is used when there is a specific beginning and end - but is that not the case with “mucha gente no estaba de acuerdo”? Many thanks, Tony
Please, what is the difference between usted, ustedes and vosotros?
I have noticed in general that spanish speakers have different intonations at the end of sentences or part of sentences which confuse the listener and in dictations result in incorrect punctuation.
I got this incorrect: Translate: It is ten to nine. My answer: Son las diez meno nueve. Correct Answer: Son las nueve diez. Isn't that 9:10, rather than what the question is asking
I feel that the translation of the sentence into English was incorrect for the tense requested and confused me. The clue was pretérito perfecto as well as the translation saw. Pretérito conjugation of ver for ellos is vieron or “saw”, but pretérito perfecto would be Han visto or “have seen”. Please don’t make it confusing for us!
I don’t see the “imperfecto” conjugation available in the drop down list….what is the correct answer!
Hasta ver este video había tenido la impresión de que exclusivamente se usa la frase "de x a x" para decir "from x to x," pero dice el narrador que las Picotas del Jerte "darán la vuelta al mundo de paladar en paladar."
¿También habría sido aceptable decir "de paladar a paladar"?
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?
