Hello,
When is a noun regular and when is it irregular?
Nouns that end with an -o or -a are regular and everything else is irregular?
Why is the last sentence written as "y no abusemos de ellas"? I thought that it should be "no las abusemos". Is there a rule for when you put "de ellas" at the end of the sentence? I thought that you weren't allowed to have pronouns on the end of sentences in Spanish.
Thank youShirley
Why in the following example is ser used? I thought that the estar form would be used because cheerful is a an emotion or feeling. Wouldn't this indicate that the group is "always cheerful"?
Ustedes ________ muy alegres.
You are very cheerful.How would you say
I need (number) 400 to win.
Necesito el cuatrocientos para ganar.
Or
Necesito el cuatrociento para ganar.
Also, We need 14 and 20 to win.
Necesitamos los 14 y 20 para ganar.
Necesitamos el 14 y el 20 para ganar.
I think I read in one of the lessons that decir was used to describe briefer statements, while contar was used when statements were more extensive or detailed. Would it also be correct to say "Me contó que solo era cuestión de tiempo..."?
Y despues? Quiero saber que pasa con Angela y Roberto!
Hola Inma,
I'm struggling with this construction. I have been googling and found that saber and agradecido/a are commonly put together presumably meaning "to be grateful (for)" perhaps.
Therefore I'm stuck on the use of sé, as this is the first person "I know" and that doesn't translate because the article is about giving advice / using the imperative, but the speaker definitely says "se or sé." I thought that agradecerse was the verb leading me to write down "se agradecido" but I don't think you can use the pronominal in this way. So that may be another dead end!
Can you help me make sense of this please?
Saludos. John
Hello, I used a couple of words that were not accepted, but I thought that they were synonyms, can you please check?
cotidiana = diaria?
bus = autobús?
Thanks!
The lesson says that gustaría is only used in the third person singular. However, what if the things that would be liked are nouns, not verbs. Wouldn’t the plural be used to reflect this, as an example “nos gustarían unas cervezas” - we would like some beers?
