Why PPC after cuando?Hello. Thank you for the useful lesson. It clarified some things, but not all. I have some texts. One of them:
José у María han paseado hoy por el parque y han hablado mucho. La verdad es que ha hablado María, y José ha escuchado solamente. Cuando María ha terminado, ya era tarde y han regresado a casa. En casa, José ha recordado que quería decir muchas cosas a María, pero María ya no estaba con él.
I can understand the first two usage of PPC, the second two are less understandable. And after "Cuando" I can't understand at all. What are the units of time there? Or what other explanations? My translation is:
Jose and Maria have walked in the park today and have talked a lot. The truth is that Maria was talking (have talked), and Jose was only listening (has only listened). When Maria finished (talking), it was already late, and they returned home. At home, Jose remembered that he wanted to say many things to Maria, but Maria already wasn’t with him.
How do I explain my present continuous and simple there?
I am struggling to work out the semantic structure and 'rationale' of this piece: "Ni qué decir tiene que no necesitas, ni flores en el pelo, ni vestido de flamenca,..." - particularly its first four words?
Ella se mudó allí hace dos meses. Is this correct? The lesson says we can't use the preterite with hace + time.
This is a great lesson. Thank you.
Te Llamas - Informally, I have learnt in theory, that it should be correct although Que te llamas is formal!
Wishing all the Kwiziq team and all the students here a very Happy Christmas and all the best for the New Year!
¡Feliz Navidad! :))
Why is it “compramos dos billetes de ida y vuelta en ventanilla” and not LA ventanilla? I don’t think I’ve seen this before, it doesn’t seem to fit with the other rules on definite articles?
One of the listening exercises uses the parase "martes y trece" which I believe would translate to "Tuesday the 13th". Please consider adding that method of stating a date to the lesson on dates as I checked and there is no current discussion or example of this usage that I could find. Thanks for all you do!
Hola Ana,
Muchas gracias por ser tan claro cuando hablas en los ejercicios. Lo haces mucho más fácil entender. ¡Eres genial!
Un saludo

Why don’t buitres and águilas reales have definite articles? Is it because they are examples? It’s 50/50 for me with definite articles, I can’t see any pattern and the rules seem to change even after looking at the lessons!
