How come for certain reflexive verbs we use le instead of se? For example Él le gusta la chaqueta. The jacket is pleasing to him.
From your examples we have
Hace viento
It is windy
Está soleado.
It is sunny
Hay niebla.
It is foggy
How do we know when to use which one please?
Where does “eso” fit in, and could it be used in the example below? If so, how would they be different?
I think I always use “eso” in these cases; never esto. Wondering if I’ve always been wrong.
“ Esto no es lo que yo dije.
This is not what I said.”Does this mean my little friend is mi amiguito?
Ella ________ saber la verdad.
With the correct answer being:
She might know the truth
In another lesson the future simple also implies ´maybe/chance of´, right?
Hola,
Can I check my understanding of one of the questions I completed please. The question was ¿Crees que es bueno que Juan ________? (venga).
I thought that when we use "Creer" [I think / believe] it takes the indicative because it is our opinion / belief, there isn't an element of doubt. My question is, does it take the subjunctive because it is a question about what someone else thinks / believes?
Thanks. John
What is the difference between empezar and comenzar? Are they synonyms or does one or the other apply in different situations?
This is taken from a rather unpleasant context. But I still want to know what the grammar behind it is. Why does this have se at the end? Would ¡Exprópie! work the same way?
As always, thank you!
Just curious! Is there a difference in use in terms of formal/informal register with these two constructions, or is “tan...como” just more common? Thanks!
Hola Inma, - hopefully you will be seeing this or it can be forwarded to you :)
I was glad to hear your voice. Hope you and yours are well and the team are all well.
1) I was interested in finding out why the author chose to use the verb "estar" instead of "ser" for
"It's delicious" regarding "harira" It seems to me this would always be "delicious"!
(1-1: I wish I could copy/paste here, but for some reason can't. Is there a way I could do that?
Also I like to keep track of my lessons and errors and notes etc.)
Gracias,
Nicole
