how do I learn which nationalities have different masculine and feminine forms and which do not?
Hello, I don’t understand why it is “le ayudó” rather than “lo ayudó” in the final sentence. To me, it is saying she helped him, so “him” is a direct object which would suggest “lo”. Thanks for your help. Tony
Examples from above:
Mis amigos, que se llaman Luis y Mario, me visitarán mañana. My friends, who are called Luis and Mario, will visit tomorrow.
El director del colegio, el cual trabaja duro, es respetado por todos. The headteacher, who works hard, is respected by everyone.Both of these are "who" examples. Are que and el cual interchangeable for these? Would it also be correct correct to say "que trabaja duro"?
Thank you :)
Puedes escribir lo corto que sea
What does this sentence mean? I’m trying to say you can write however short it is.
And why is there subjunctive following lo corto?
Can anyone direct me to the correct grammar for this ?
I'm worried that my son hangs around with those people. He actually does. .....salga. Why not sale?
I'm worried that my son might hang around with those people. I don't know whether he does or not.'.......salga
I'm worried that my son might hang around with those people. He does not, yet. ..........salga
In the reflexive pronoun chart in this lesson I think you should also include se to be used for yourself (singular formal) and also yourselves (plural formal).
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.
The mini kwiz had this possible answer which I did not select, but which was apparently correct: "Nuestros padres compraron helados a nosotros." Isn't "a nosotros" the same kind of pronoun as "a ti" or "a ella"? Why would this not require a "nos" before compraron the way "a ti" or "a ella" would require "te" or "le"?
Does it mean that he wants to be on the ship on the day of his birthday? Or does he want to receive the gift on that day?
