Studylist information is below

Hi!

I wasn't able to get the list referred to below:

"Here is a list of personal "a" verbs:

[kwiziq_link type="studylist" id=830919]."

Do you have another way to get to this list?

Thank you. Nicole

Haber + past participle

I don't remember seeing this structure/ tense of haber + past participle in the previous lessons.

Quiza Miguel no haya aprobado.

Could you please point me in the right direction to find where this is taught?

Thank you.

Nevermind, I found this a little later in the B1 section to conjugate haber in present subjunctive, then there is a link in that lesson for the present perfect subjunctive for haber.

Adjective > Noun; [feminine agreement?]

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 ?

I can't find anything referring to 'aguantar' and it's usage...

Hola Inma,

Just wanted to ask if it would be possible to cover 'aguantar' at some point when you have time? It's a word that I often remember hearing as a young child. I think it'd be a good word to cover as it seems that it's often used in Spanish.

Gracias y saludos :)

Alternative to "Planning"

I know that the lesson is about the use of the infinitive as a noun, but why would the use of an actual noun be wrong as in:- "Planificacion" (With an accent on the "o")

Predictability

To me it sounds a bit contradictive in this lesson: first, you say "nouns that end in a consonant and refer to inanimate objects are generally masculine" and then you continue with "you cannot predict the gender of inanimate objects".

I have no problem with having to memorize things, but I think that first part may be confusing to some, so it might be better to just leave it out.

I'm very much enjoying the lessons in general though. ¡Gracias!

the name of the tense

Hi, I was organizing my tenses chart and realize there's only "Pretérito perfecto simple" that can find "fui" in both ser and estar. I cannot find a page that shows "El Pretérito Indefinido", I'm wondering are this two tenses the same thing?

Thanks,

Hayley
