Dear Kwizteam,
I find it weird that the 'que' here is not 'qué'. In all of the other sentences where the word is used in exclamations or questions, it needs tilde. However, here, it does not. Could you comment?
Regards.
Hi,
I find I have a very difficult time trying to differentiate the various terms used on your site for verb tenses and what their equivalents are either in Latin American Spanish and/or English. Especially in the "test your knowledge" section. Every time I have to search and search for the English equivalent to make sure I have the right tense being asked for.
I looked for a list of them on your site and couldn't find any . Where do I find this or could you please furnish one with their ( Latin American - if possible) English equivalents.
My 501 verbs doesn't the same titles for tenses as you have. For example: Your: Preterito Perfecto , is Perfecto de Indicativo in my dict;, Your Preterito Indefinido is Preterito in mine.
Help:(

In the sample question "Cuando vuelva Carlos, dile que quiero hablar con él." why is "quiero" not in the subjunctive tense? Didn't we learn in a different lesson than if a verb comes after 'que' that switches subject that it should be subjunctive?
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?
Hola,
I just need to understand in this following sentence why 'le explicas' isn't used instead?
Podrías hablar con la jefa y explicarle la situación.
Is it treated as following poder rather than hablar?
Gracias,
I wrote "Él es de Irlanda" and it said that "Él" was incorrect. Is that just a mistake or should I really not use the pronoun?
Tu novia y tú habéis estado comprometidos hasta este año.Your girlfriend and you have been engaged until this year.
The meaning is unclear to me — are they no longer engaged?
Then, in my opinion, the English should be:
..Your girlfriend and you.were engaged until this year, not have been. But maybe I do not understand what is being expressed in Spanish. In any case, the English sentence is not clear.
¡No faltes al respeto a tu profesor!Don't insult your teacher!Why is this not taking "le" before the verb since it is "faltar a alguien"?
Can I use o instead of a in some cases? E.g. Prefieres agua o té. Prefieres ir a la playa o quedarte en casa?
Thank you
Hola
I am having a hard time learning all the past tenses and when to use what. Does anyone have a good advise on how to make it less complicated?
