Regarding the hints in the tests. Sometimes the hint says to conjugate in "El pretérito Perfecto Compuesto" and other times just "El pretérito Perfecto". If I enter El pretérito Perfecto simple it's incorrect. The study buttons take you to the same lesson, and seem to be asking for the same answer, am I missing something?
Hola Inma,
I would have thought that estar would be used here rather than ser. On reflection I imagine that ser was used because the emphasis is on the first marriage, rather than the emotional state of the person talking.
Is that the case or ....?
Saludos

hello,
I am struggling with that one, my native language is French and although my English is pretty good (I am an English teacher after all), the difference between "wanted" and "wanted" is pretty slim indeed....
isn't there a more grammatical approach to this ? I am afraid the semantics approach does not cut it for me ...
thanks in adavance
Kwiziq question:
Los niños iban juntos ________ la playa.
a and para are correct
hasta is incorrect
I've seen hasta used with desde to mean 'from/to' (trains etc). And I'm sure I've seen hasta used on its own to mean 'to'. Can someone explain why it's incorrect in this case?
Saludos
I am a bit upset at the fact that I changed my correct answer to an incorrect answer based on a hint given. I just finished taking a quiz and the question was:
Sus padres ________ bastante delgados.
Their parents are quite slim.
(HINT: Their parents have always been slim )
I knew the answer was "son", however I changed it to "tienen" based on the hint given. Imagine my dismay when I got the question wrong after knowing the correct answer and changing it because because of the hint.
Is Deberías habermélo dicho equivalent to Habemélo dicho?
Is Podrías habermélo dicho equivalent to Habemélo dicho?
Is Habrías habermélo dicho also correct?
Re: Mamá, ________ -Bien ¿y tú? Mum, how are you? -Good, and you?
In a test I just did, for the above question, I added: "¿cómo está?" but it was marked wrong.
I chose this, because in certain areas, children address their mother formally, so that is why I used the "formal" in this case. i know it is not common, but the test did say, some or all may be correct.
Thank you for your attention to this,
Nicole
Hola Inma,
When referring to 'around' a given time, is 'a eso de' the only way to express an approximate time?
Gracias y saludos
Lovely expression but took a bit of research to find what it means:
¿Cómo puedes dejarte ver con esas pintas? How can I show you around looking like that?¿Cómo puede salir en la tele con esas pintas? How can she go on TV looking like that?
No debe ser fácil con esas pintas. Can't be easy in that getup.
Hope this helps others
