I thought I understood that an accent is used when cuándo is a question but now It’s also used when it isn’t. So when do we use cuando without an accent? I can’t work it out.
Hello,
Is there a difference between aprovechar and disfrutar ?
Thank you very much !
Why doesn't "hache" follow the same rules as words like "agua" where the intial vowel is a stressed a?
ie, Why do we still say "la hache" and not "el hache" ?
I'm just curious about the English translation. To be grammatically correct in English, I supposed you'd have to say, "the students with whom I partied." But no one talks that way, and it sounds very stuffy and formal. So I take it, you have decided not to follow English grammar to the letter, but rather the way people actually talk. I think that's a good decision. I take it you are descriptive rather than prescriptive grammarians?
You can't say we don't need to use and then need to use. You can either say:
We don't need to use you may / can use the infinitive or;
We don't need to "can't" use followed by must use the infinitive.
Could you please provide a list with the most common ones at the end of the lesson?
She has been working there
The best answer is:Compare your answerElla he hecho trabajado ayahtrabaja allá
You could also say:Ella trabaja allí
Foggy and sunny are both adjectives so why does one use hay and one use está?
Hay niebla
Está soleado,
Gracias
With: "Both rivers, the Amazon and the Orinoco, and their respective basins", why does Amazon get pluralized to "Amazonas"? I've seen that the masculine is "el Amazonas" and the feminine is "la Amazona". Why is that, please? I'm wondering about the use of "el río Amazonas" versus "la selva Amazona" and "la selva Amazonica".
How does "se nos" change the meaning of "Uno de esos ríos que enseguida viene a la mente" -v- "Uno de esos ríos que enseguida se nos viene a la mente".
And the use of "ello" . . . does "ello" not mean "it" or "that"? Is the use of "ello" as "this" merely the uneducated English useage where "this" and "that" and their appropriate relationships to time and place become misused? : "An example of that is Caño Cristales, a natural sanctuary."
And why the use of the future tense "existirán en otros lugares del mundo"?
