Hi, I have a question concerning this text:
"at the beginning of the 17th century,"
a comienzos del siglo XVII,
why is the plural used here and not the singular?
What rules/lesson pertain to this?
Thank you, NIcole
Why wouldn't it be "no los respeta a sus hijos"?
I had always learned and also read stories in books where conversations began and ended with a long dash, (un guion). The grandma was always saying ends with a colon. I expected a guion at the beginning of what she said and also the first letter of her first word to be Capitalized. I am confused.
Wouldn't the English translation be more correct to read "(French literature interests her.)"?
Hola,
I'm wondering about the use of traer in some of the example sentences. I had thought it was used when the speaker was at the place where something is being brought to; otherwise we use llevar? Wouldn't we say 'Ellos llevan al perro al parque'?
Gracias,
Jess
Why is 'piscina grandísima' not a valid translation for 'very large pool'?
In the tip it says - Unlike in English where as if is often followed by a past tense in the indicative, in Spanish como si can never be followed by a tense in the indicative or El Presente de Subjuntivo, or El Pretérito Perfecto Subjuntivo. But there is a C1 lesson that is about using como si followed by the indicative. Is this tip incorrect, or am I missing something?
