Referring to suggested title add-on, I should have said cuando plus past tenses in the subjunctive.
Shirley.
No entiendo por qué el Rey hizo eso. Él lo hizo porque quiso
Unless the Spanish have a definition of "conjunction" that differs from the one I've always understood, both "por qué" and
"porque" are both being used as conjunctions in those sentences. It is the sense of their use which differs.
Can these two uses be distinguished in spoken Spanish and if so, how?
Y despues? Quiero saber que pasa con Angela y Roberto!
Hi, I can't find a good translation for "anima al paciente y su cuerpo sana antes."
Can anyone help?
Hola,
I came across this construction and I wasn't sure how to translate it. The use of the gerund does not follow any lesson I've seen. Is it similar to the "hacer/mandar + infinitive" construction?
Tienes un hijo criandose en el convento.
How can you start the lesson with "Antes de que and Antes que are always followed by the subjunctive. For example:"
Then in the last part of the lesson give examples without the subjunctive. That's the opposite of always.
¡Hola! ¿Por qué usamos el verbo "toques" aquí? ¿No debería usar "toca" si estamos dando un consejo (tú afirmativo)? Supongo que esto es porque estamos dando un comando negativo, es decir "nunca toques" significa el mismo que "no toques". ¿Es correcto? Si es así, creo que una lección correspondiente debería estar vinculada a la oración (Forming the Spanish imperative of tú/ vosotros/vosotras (negative commands)).
Hi,
I have just completed an A1 test where the missing word(s) were required in this sentence:
Siempre ________ confundo haciendo este ejercicio.
The hint was that the reflexive verb 'confundirse' was used.
My answer was 'Siempre yo me confundo ...' and was marked wrong. The correct answer dropped the 'yo'. Is that correct? Surely, both answers are correct, although mine may not be commonly spoken.
Best regards,
Colin
