Example in the quiz: ¿Cuanto tiempo has tardado en hacer ese proyecto?
Could that also be said as ¿Cuanto tiempo tardaste en hacer ese proyecto?
In other lessons, it’s been mentioned that Peninsular Spanish more commonly uses the Pretérito Perfecto where LatAm Spanish uses the Pretérito indefinido in similar contexts. Would that difference apply here?
"Fastidiar" is another false friend. In English, to be "fastidious" is to be very attentive to detail, accuracy or cleanliness.
Question in A1 Focus Test
Mi vecina Patricia es ______.
Hola,
I put "maleduca" because it's a woman, it's singular and when "maleducar" is conjugated in El Presente, it comes up as "maleduca." Why is it marked wrong? Why is "maleducada" the correct answer?
In relation to that, I don't feel the question has been covered well because we have not encountered that word previously and I cannot find it in any lessons on the Lawless website.
Gracias por la respuesta!
May I ask is there a unit explaining the expressions like "estar hasta las narices" "no tener dos dedos de frente" "dar la espalda" etc?
In a test question, I answered “Nosotros nos llamamos Ana y Maria” and was marked incorrect, with “Nos llamamos Ana y Maria” offered as the correct answer, yet.......your lesson on reflexive verbs uses nosotros nos in an example. I am aware that the pronouns can often be dropped but I feel a bit cheated given it is used in the lesson example and not accepted in my answer in the test question.
I would also like to know what the upside down question mark at the beginning of a sentence means, and even exclamation marks. As you may have correctly guessed, I'm a total newbie. Thanks
"In addition" does not have the same meaning in English as "On the other hand"
Javier es bastante guapo.
select ...MásPor otro ladoEn otro ladoTampocoPor otro lado, es muy trabajador. (Javier is quite handsome. In addition, he is hardworing.)
Just did this lesson and saw the word "cross". Although it does make sense in old English and some people will still understand the meaning, it is definitely not a word that is used a lot among English speakers today. I think "angry" would be a better word and would reduce the likelihood of someone not understanding what it means.
