A comment on this subject after spending an hour researching itThe instructions in the link say:
The choice of tense depends on whether the speaker is "still inside" the "unit of time" that's being used or implied:
Use the present perfect ("he ido") form when talking about the past:
- today, this week, this month, or this year
Use the indefinido ("fui") form when talking about the past:
- yesterday, last week, last month, or last year (or further back)
But then an example on the lesson page has this:
Ellos han visto el amanecer.
They saw the sunrise.
In this sentence, as with many of the quizzes, there is no way to know the context and so we have to follow the instructions as to which tense to use. Part of the fun of the quizzes is not reading the directions.
I think this is the root of the frustration here. Perhaps if more context were provided we could have a chance of answering without the addition direction needed.
In this question, would both of these answers be correct for: How would you say "The little girls who I went to the park with were your daughters."?
Las niñas con las que fui al parque eran tus hijas.
Las niñas para las que fui al parque eran tus hijas.
Hola,
1. None of the examples use 'usted' or 'ustedes'. Can you use those or is gustar just not used in a formal way?
2. What if I want to say something like "Sarah likes David"? Do I still have to include the indirect pronoun? And use "a xxx" for the name of the person doing the liking?
like: "David le gusta a Sarah"
Fred.
Could you please include a few examples in the lesson that show how “aun” works in phrases like “aun más bonito.” I’m finding it harder to keep straight without having examples - I have to switch my brain to English & try to translate back, and I’m still getting it wrong!
consider:
(1) she has made many sacrifices for her children
(2) she has made many books for her children
why
in (1) "for" --> por
in (2) "for" --> para
Can I say : algo de la bebida que está en la nevera?
Hi... so sorry. There was a problem on my own Google page. It was interpreting the Spanish as French for some reason !!!. I got it sorted. Sorry again for the hassle.
You are doing great work
Joseph.
Maybe this is covered in a lesson I haven't gotten to yet, but can you explain how "ni siquiera" is functioning in this sentence?
Thanks!

Hello, could you make a lessn for olvidar and olvidarse please ? It's quite difficult for me to know when I must say olvidar and when I must say olvidarse.
Thank you very much !
