In this piece, the future events are expressed using ir, a, and the infinitive. My two-part question is whether, in the circumstances depicted in the piece, the simple future tense and/or the present tense could be used to express the future and under what circumstances each of the three choices is either indicated or preferred.
Muchas gracias de antemano.
Hola,
I've noticed in this construction that desde is used at the end of the sentences, and within the middle of the construction it is not.
Trying to extend my learning with the following example
Llevaba cinco años sin fumar.
Could you say
Llevaba sin fumar desde 2015
Llevaba sin fumar desde hace cinco años
?
I'm thinking in terms of the construction when there is a specific date in mind (2015), compared to the 'ongoing' desde hace without a specific date.
Gracias,
Just wondering what triggers the subjunctive in this example sentence from the lesson:
Se trata de que nos reunamos para pasar un buen rato
Thanks.
I was told in writing here in this app (and in another Spanish app) that when saying what you are (what your profession is), you do not put an article before the name of your occupation. Example: “Mi papá es médico.” (My dad is a doctor.) - No un of una. I took a test here earlier today and someone is a carpenter. I left out the article and was correct. Did I miss an exception? I will say that in this test, it was the person saying what their own profession is. “Yo soy un ?” I’ve already forgotten what the job was. Can anyone let me know? Gracias.
Thanks, Kaly
Hello,
are there other ways to say "at all" in Spanish ? I sometimes see "in absoluto" or "de nada".
Thank you very much !
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!
Why the second and not the first?
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!
Why is the "quedarse + gerund" translated throughout as "stay...". I'm a native U.S. English speaker, and I don't know anyone who would say that someone "stays doing" anything. We'd say the person "keep doing...".
