Could you use something like 'Me fío plenamente de él' instead of 'confío plenamente en él'? I know the hint said to use the pronoun 'I'; would it sound unnatural to say 'Yo me fío plenamente de él'?
In the lesson, these sentences do not make sense to me in English:
Ofrecerían más descuentos cuando pasara la temporada de invierno.They might offer more discounts when the winter season was over.Pararíamos para descansar cuando llegáramos a Toledo.We might stop for a rest when we arrived in Toledo.Why are pasara and llegáramos translated in English as the past tense when they refer to future events that haven't happened yet? It sounds more natural to me to say "when the winter season IS over" and "when we ARRIVE in Toledo."
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.
Suppose I wanted to say something like, "I wouldn't have minded if they got married, I was seeing someone else", or "I didn't care if the wrecked their's appetite with ice cream, I wasn't going to make dinner anyway" is there no combination of tenses that would admit the use o "por mí que"?
What is the difference between para la que and para el que.
Can someone please explain when we cannot use either of the two.
Gracias!
It's interesting to note that these two tense usages occur in English as well, e.g.
-- Oh, Albert's not at home. -- No, he was playing in a rugby match today, didn't he tell you?
-- What was the name, sir?
-- What were you asking for this painting?
-- Where were you going tomorrow?
Así pues, si tengo - atreverse alguien a hacer algo - to dare someone to do something.
How would I say: I dare you to do this - because it's atreverse you have to say me for me and then te for you? for example te atreveme a hacer esto. But it doesn't make sense because it's like the other person is daring me but in fact it's me daring the person. te atrave a hacer esto I think is better but then what about the 'me' because it's reflexive.
In one quiz there was a sentence: Hace calor. Saldré al jardin un rato. Voy a salir sounds more natural and is what I hear more often from South Americans. Is the use of the future tense more common in Spain?
I don't understand why money would be considered an "uncountable" noun. Unless on is a gazillionaire, one can certainly count how much money one has.
