Spanish language Q&A Forum

1. In your "hint", you told us to "... use a pronominal verb for 'take advantage' " -

- but despite that^, in order to get a correct answer we were supposed to write: "Aprovecha la ruptura para conocerte más a ti misma" - [i.e., with 'aprovecha', a non-pronominal verb?]

("Aprovecha la ruptura ..." is of course quite consistent with the guidelines given in your lesson at Spanish verb Aprovechar vs Aprovecharse (pronominal verbs) [number 7478] ... so it is only your 'hint' which needs to be modified, not your text).

2. In your sentence: "... ya que ambos estábais sumergidos en una relación tóxica", there should not be a tilde in 'estabais'?

Is this an impersonal sentence? 

The answer says "yes" but I think it can be "no". It seems more natural to translate this as "They have found a shipwreck on the beach." which could be a sentence from a story where "they" have been identified previously. Do you want us to answer "yes" for being "impersonal" whenever a sentence has no subject and uses third personal plural form of the main verb?  

Ella esta enfermo porque, ella quiere trabajar en en hospital grande, ella no le gusta trabajar en el clinic porque el clinic es muy pequeno.

Hola Inma,

Regarding the sentence "¿A quién no le gustaría quedarse en un lugar así? With the meaning "who would not like to stay in a place like this" I expected that the subjunctive may be needed, though exactly how this would work with the conditional is beyond me. Perhaps the inference is that absolutely nobody would refuse to stay there but I am speculating. Can you help?

Saludos

Hello,
I'd like to pop back to a lower level for a few lessions and quizes, apart from hitting the "test now" button, which immediatelt tests you without the benefit of seeing the lessions, is there an easy way to do this?

Thanks

Hola Inma,

I think the spelling of the indefinido of creer should be "creyó."

Saludos

Hi,

I find some of the recorded examples too fast to clearly hear the pronunciation. Is there a way of slowing it on replay?

This leads to another question: when Spanish is spoken quickly, can some of the sounds be omitted or words run together.

Thank you.
