Qué provocar el subjuntivo en esta frase: 

Tendremos que usar cuanto dinero tengamos. Es muy caro.

I thought that ' el billete de tren' had a determiner - 'el'  as opposed to the general 'un billete de tren'. Please explain

I am having a small issue. The summary box that should show the list of conjugations is empty. I have been seeing this issue recently with the future tense. Can you help with this?

Falta la DE, ¿no?

It seems I need to add more detail, so:

The drop-down menu for this question on forming the plural of nouns that end in -e gives four possible answers, none of which includes “de” after “especies”.

in the hints you define "terrorífico" as meaning "terrifyingly" but then in the translation you count that as wrong and use "terrorificamente" instead.

you say "some fake drops of blood" but a better English translation would be "drops of fake blood". The drops are real; the blood is fake.

I have a question about reflexive verbs. In general I understand the concept, and I in general I know when to recognize the verbs. What I have trouble with is knowing when to use them in a sentence. For example take these two sentence:

Now I use the Google translate app and one of these sentences uses a reflexive verb and its pronoun and one does not. I don't understand the difference. I understand "I bathe myself in the morning" is how the translation would be from Spanish to English. But why does "I walk in the morning" not translate as "I walk myself in the morning". After all I'm not walking the dog or walking somebody else, I'm walking myself. Or is this just a matter of the Google translate app being incorrect??

I understand the line ' .. para realizar el sueno de crear una marca de aceite oliva referente en calidad y sabor' to mean '  in order to realize the dream of making a brand of olive oil that is a benchmark in quality and flavour. 

Why is there no other connection words between oliva and referente? 

Thanks!

Buenas tardes Shui e Inma ...

It might be worth considering ... >> ?

1. > "As many Irish people emigrated to the United States..." [because that corresponds better with the 'emigraron' in your Spanish translation].

2. [Debatable !] > I first wondered whether "Halloween is really an ancient Irish holiday" might have been more helpful to us, rather than saying "... ancestral..."]... In Castillian, 'ancestral' is indeed sometimes used as a synonym for 'antiguo' - but perhaps there is a very slight difference in Englsh? Eventually, however, I could see that the use of the word 'ancestral' in that context was at least pointing us in the right direction.

Hola,

The sentence above was the answer to a recent question.

I don't understand the need for nosotros.  Could you please explain.

Muchas gracias.

Saludos,
