The noun "búho" [= eagle owl] is an illustration of the way in which a 'silent h' has no bearing on whether or not there is a hiatus. At first glance, foreigners might think [incorrectly] that it should form two syllables *without* the need for a tilde.

Ah, me encantaba jugar este juego cuando era una niña!

Gracias por este ejercicio excelente Shui. :)

Hola,

1. None of the examples use 'usted' or 'ustedes'. Can you use those or is gustar just not used in a formal way?

2. What if I want to say something like "Sarah likes David"? Do I still have to include the indirect pronoun? And use "a xxx" for the name of the person doing the liking?

like: "David le gusta a Sarah"

Fred.

There is another lesson about using the pretérito perfecto after esperar to indicate a completed action in the future. Is there any difference in sentence construction between these two cases or would intent have to be discerned entirely from context? 

INTRANSITIVE VERB

In the test, the sentence 'No es verdad que  ________ siempre los papeles al suelo.' gave the answer as 'tiremos', and marked 'tiramos' as incorrect. So does this mean that if you present something as true, you use the indicative, but if you say something is not true, or that the truth is a negative, you use the subjunctive? I thought, in saying it is not true, the sentence was presenting something as a fact, and therefore the indicative would apply. 

Present + desde hace ... 

Hace ... que + present

------

Imperfect + desde hacía ... 

Hacía ... que + Imperfect

Hi,

I got the following question in a test:

Tuvimos muy buenas experiencias en ________ juventud.

We had very good experiences in our youth.

(HINT: Choose the right word having in mind the ending of the noun)

The two possible answers were twice "nuestra", but one of them is marked wrong when chosen.

Do we use' el que'  with subjunctive ?
