If one translates: "I learned everything"
It is written: "J'ai tout appris."
But if I translate: "I learned everything I needed to know"
It is written: "J'ai appris tout ce que j'avais besoin de savoir."
Why does "tout" move out from between the verb to behind it? Is it because of the subordinate phrase?
Do we use' el que' with subjunctive ?
I learned the hard way that I shouldn't try to reason it out. Just use aun when there is a preposition.
aun con
aun sin
and even with the clause words, like the lesson says
aun si
aun cuando
Sometimes you just have to use tricks until you have a better understanding of the larger rule!
On another course, an example conversation between novio and novia goes: “usted sabe que lo amo. Vayamos al cine, hay una película nueva que quiero que veamos. Me muero por que usted la vea”. It was partly my frustration that there was no explanation of the use of usted here that led me to look for another course. Can anyone here explain this to me? Is this a regional peculiarity? Maybe Colombia? Thanks.
It appears that a space is missing in the bullet point: "in the subordinate sentence after quererque we use El Imperfecto Subjuntivo."
It looks like a space may be needed in "quererque" to divide this into two words: "querer" and "que." Or is there a circumstance in which it would be correct to combine these?
Would it be fair to say that in a negative situation you would not use gran?
So, it would not be un gran atasco, but un atasco grande? (a big traffic jam)
Muchísimas gracias,
The lesson should also explain whether the meaning is the same if these sentences use the future tense instead. Thank you.
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?
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.
