Hi I'm trying to learn Spanish and I came across a sentence which caused my learning app and my native Spanish speaking partner to disagree:
The original sentence from the learning app: "Si puede, deles una explicacion a sus alumnos"
My partner say it's wrong, and it should be "Si puede, dele una explicacion a sus alumnos"
Since it refers to giving an explanation which is singular and not plural.
To my understanding, it should be plural because it's given to the students.
Which one is the right one??
Thanks!
¿Qué tal:
secretaria sacerdote
carpintero contador
ama de casa
Why is it not right to say "voy a este lugar" in the last sentence?
to add :
"doctor/a" for doctor
"supervisor/a" ; "gerente/dirigente ; manager (voz inglesa)" for manager/supervisor
"representante" for representative, agent, manager
In the sentence:
La bruja le maldice todos los años. (The witch curses him every year)
I expected it to read "lo maldice" to say "to curse him" where "him" would be the direct object. Why is it le?
I have noticed from time to time, that "muy" can be placed in front of a noun to add emphasis to the nature of the noun it is modifying. For example: Marco es muy trabajador. Marco is a very hard worker.
Laura es muy cirujana. Laura is a very skilled surgeon.
Is this a legitimate usage for muy?
For ‘to need to’, when to use necessitated and when to use tener que?
Why was this marked wrong?
¿De dónde ________usted? - Yo soy de Venezuela.Where are you from? - I am from Venezuela.(HINT: Use verb "to be")I selected "eres" and it was marked as incorrect. The correct answer is "es." How should I have know they expected a third person answer?
La Kwiziq FAQ me dice que puedo "kwiz" un tema tanto"s veces que quiero si está en mi "notebook." He encontrado que si toma un "kwiz" y lo falla, cuando quiero tomarlo otra vez dice "You took this Kwiz XXX hours, XX minutes ago.
This lesson is already in your notebook. Go to your notebook now to kwiz this topic as many times as you like.
Puedo hacer cliq en "my notebook" y encontrar la lección que quiero estudiar y kwiz más. Pero dice lo mismo al fondo - que ya he tomado el Kwiz y tengo que ir a mi notebook si quiera kwiz otra vez. Excepto ya estoy en mi notebook. ¿Qué pasa? ¡Gracias!
In the examples using past actions in the main clause, either the pretérito imperfecto or the pluscuamperfecto de subjuntivo are used. However, in the explanation it says the pretérito indefinido or the plusucmaperfecto.
