Sometimes, when Spanish words sound similar to English words, my brain automatically connects them to English words. In this case, my brain associates varios/varias with the English word 'various'. Is this a correct assumption?
In English, various provides more clarity than the word 'some' in that it denotes small differences among the various objects that are being described. Is that the case for Spanish too?
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.
Esta solía ser mi antigua escuela.
I'm pretty sure that I'm right and it puts "era". I know that "solía ser" is even more accurate than "era".
Emma,
I want you to know that I have immensely enjoyed working my way through Quiziq. Your lessons have been so well presented!
The score won't go to 100% for me on this section entitled: Using antes de que/después de que with indicative or subjunctive (subordinate time clauses). It just stays under 100%, even with correct answers. I now have 100% for all levels and 99.9% for the advanced level. Only this lesson is keeping me from having 100% on all levels. Could someone in your tech department take a look at this and respond?
Thank you
Hi there,
I have a question about the final sentence of the exercise. Why does 'hasta que' invoke the subjunctive here when the action is in the past? Thanks.
Answer given : Estoy vendiendo . My answer marked wrong was : yo estoy vendiendo. Is that just because I wrote yo and not Yo ? If so that seems rather harsh.
This lesson is too long and too confusing. It should be broken up into 6 separate lessons to allow to handle one meaning at a time.
Accent should be on the a in cuál, not the u.
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 it "fue (indefinido) muy emocionante" but "mis contrincantes eran (imperfecto) muy bueno"?
And why is it "fue muy emocionante" rather than "estaba / estuve muy emocionante"? There is a lesson entitled "Using estar (not ser) when talking about emotions".
