I thought general experiences were talked about in the Imperfect. The time markers given in this lesson match up with https://spanish.kwiziq.com/learn/theme/746448.
And also this lesson seems to indicate using the Imperfect:
Using the imperfect tense in Spanish to express habits or repeated actions in the past (El Pretérito Imperfecto)
One of the possible answers for a kwiz question was "Es posible que hace frío hoy". Why wouldn't this be a correct sentence?
Yo compito en los 100 metros libres de natación.
I compete in the 100 metres freestyle swimming.
Would you please explain natación vs nadar?
El padre le da la receta a la señorita. Senorita was the indirect object noun, why add to “le” in front of the da?And,:Qué le hace el médico al enfermo? Enfermo was also the indirect object noun, why add to “le”?
And, :Le receta el médico al enfermo unas pastillas? Enfermo was also the indirect object noun, why add to “le”?
This lesson has no explanation as to when and why to use this tense .
The lesson on pluscamperfecto is also poor.
As a result I am frustrated.
Examples alone are not sufficient.
I study Spanish in Guatemala where we don’t use the form vous. Is there any way that my lessons can be without the vous form? Thank you.
Why is “hay” not used.
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?
I love this idiom...'media naranja' for 'soulmate'!
1. "Los históricos" seems to be an example of an adjective used as a noun? - [a feature of Spanish which may have been encouraged by its prevalence in Arabic, perhaps?]
2. I actually typed in "Las históricas" - because I thought that it was referring to las "estadísticas", and thus had to be feminine ?
