Why not me gustaríá ser feliz en España ?
Hola,
Update - I just found the lesson on this. When to use the perfect tense versus the simple past (Perfecto vs Indefinido)
I live in the US and just switched to Latin American Spanish, since it is more likely Spanish speakers I meet will speak this way. I am curious if El Pretérito Perfecto is used in LatAm Spanish when not talking about experiences.
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
Choose the correct sentence for "She is feeding the ducks."
And the correct answer is given as:Está dándole de comer a los patos.
Should it not be dándoles?Hello, is there some connotation needed for this to trigger the Preterite? Like "These two centuries out of the 5000 years we're talking about"? Or at least "These two very specific centuries"? As opposed to "For two full centuries, which is pretty much forever", where I would have expected the Imperfect.
You wrote : "¡Cómo no, por supuesto!" but isn't it the same thing two times? What is the difference between "cómo no" and "por supuesto"?
Mesa is feminine so answer should be marona and grisa
Hi,
I got the following question in a test:
Tuvimos muy buenas experiencias en ________ juventud.
We had very good experiences in our youth.
(HINT: Choose the right word having in mind the ending of the noun)
The two possible answers were twice "nuestra", but one of them is marked wrong when chosen.
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!
In the example: "Su hijo quiere que ustedes lo escuchen."
Would this be translated: Your son wants you to listen to it? As if it is a recording or radio announcement, etc?
Why the use of "lo" for "him" and not "le"?
Thanks,
Kaly
