The correct answer for "Maybe I should sleep less" is given as: "Tal vez debería dormir menos tiempo", using the conditional. However, under "Your Practice" we are directed to: https:// + "spanish.kwiziq.com/my-languages/spanish/view/5084" - which helps us to choose between: "Using El Subjuntivo or El Indicativo ... [after tal vez and quizás - to express doubt]".
RE: Chupachups (B2) Spanish writing exercise
Sentence: and about 800 lollipops were produced a day.
Kwizbot: y se producían unos 800 chupachups al día.
Is there any other way this sentence could be constructed, and if so, what, and if not, why not? And what are the rules pertaining to this.
I know that Spanish is pretty flexible, where I get tangled up, is where it’s not flexible in sentence structure. i.e. what things are “verboten”? Thank you, I appreciate any help in this area.
Re: Cuando (When) is followed by a verb in the subjunctive mood to express a future event still to happen.
In all the examples, the 2nd clause uses simple future or imperative. I get that these can be used, but does that mean that the present can't be used? Can we say: "Cuando vayas al mercado, compras fruta y verdura.
When you go to the market, buy fruit and vegetables.
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
When we write objects after the verb, do we always write them in the order Direct Object followed by Indirect Object, like this?
(Les) cantaron una canción a Pedro y Pablo por su despedida.
Or can we change the order like this:
(Les) cantaron a Pedro y Pablo una canción por su despedida.
Thanks.
PS How can I find my answered questions? I don't seem to be getting notifications.

Why not "Ni que me fueses" it is not as though YOU (2nd familiar), or is another interpretation: "It is not as though I am going to ruin myself"? i.ei a reflexive form.
Hello, this lesson states that "Notice how for these verbs, -i- becomes -y- in all forms."
But I think that it is more correct to say that "a Y is added to the stem in all forms". Huir is an IR verb, so it's stem is HU, you aren't replacing an I.
Have I understood the lesson correctly?
I have only now noticed that I read 'brought' for 'bought', but the rest of my question stands.
In English there is a difference between 'stop smoking' as in put down the cigarette your smoking right now and 'stop to smoke' as in in quit smoking for good. Anything like that in Spanish?
Thanks a lot,Shirley
