Lo+ Adv/Adj + que + verb Que tan /cuan + Adv/ AdjHola Inma:
Are these
phrases interchangeable?
Lo+ Adv/Adj + que + verb
Que tan /cuan + Adv/ Adj
Let's use test question #3 for these purposes:
"¡____
es ese monumento!"
Of course the correct answer is:
"¡Lo feo que es ese monumento!"
With regard to this structure (Lo+ Adv/Adj + que + verb) the
lesson states it is used to express surprise/admiration/disappointment
about how something/someone performs an action or about what someone/something
is like.
The lesson for the
structure (Que tan /cuan + Adv/ Adj) states that it is used to ASK about
the degree or extent of a specific quality. Yet one of the example is
not a question:
"Carlos, muéstrale
a Valentina qué tan bien bailas merengue." The phrase is being used in
regard to a "specific quality," i.e., "... how well... ."
Question:for these purposes, is not ugliness a specific quality.
(a) if so, could we not also use the structure (Que tan /cuan + Adv/ Adj): ¡Qué
tan feo es ese monumento! Thank you
in advance.
I understand the line ' .. para realizar el sueno de crear una marca de aceite oliva referente en calidad y sabor' to mean ' in order to realize the dream of making a brand of olive oil that is a benchmark in quality and flavour.
Why is there no other connection words between oliva and referente?
Thanks!
Ellas suelen ir al cine los viernes
Usually we use Ellas van, how about this Ellas suelen ir? May I know what is this ir in this case.
I don’t see the “imperfecto” conjugation available in the drop down list….what is the correct answer!
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?

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 ....?

flit ?
Flirt !
Después de años trabajando como extra se convirtió en una actriz muy famosa.This is the example from the lesson as for when to use convertirse ... yet in the test ...
Ella ________ famosa después del anuncio de la tele.
Here the correct answer is given as se hizo? Both are about becoming famous so what is the difference?
???
Interesting lesson!
I noticed a simple memory trick: use dónde with verbs, donde with nouns.
That is:
[verb] + dónde
[noun] + donde
Cheers!
