Hola Inma,
For the last sentence of this passage, for my translation, I wrote, ¡Qué baile tan bonito! It was however marked as incorrect. Please could you explain why that is?
Gracias.
Me extraña que él quiera venir al cine con nosotras. (I'm surprised he wants to come to the cinema with us.)
I'm confused by what appears to be third person (extraña) rather than first person (extraño) in this sentence. Please explain. Is it similar to use of the verb "gustar" --- where third person is used?
Pati
Hola))
What is a Spanish equivalent for needn't have (done)?
Though it is a bit formal sounding, another way to translate the passive form in English referring to a '"general you", i.e. people in general ', is "ONE must/can...". For example "One must always tell the truth".
I find that helps me differentiate between "you must" - debes (a specific person), and the passive "One must" - se debe (people/individuals in general)
Huir -> Huyendo
Seguir -> Siguiendo
Shouldn't it be Siguyendo?
I would like to sk when do we use subjuntivo after cuando?
Two of the examples use the pronoun "a". For example "¿Tú traes a tus padres...?" and "Ellos traen al perro...". Am I right in assuming that this only applies when there's a person or animal involved?
In the quiz question: "¿Crees que ellos me ________ ese favor?
Do you think they would do me that favour?" We're told to put hacer in the conditional. If the sentence had instead started "¿No crees que..." what would the correct tense be for hacer?
