Hi, the question is "Which of the following expressions are followed by the subjunctive?"
And the options are: Tememos que , Es incierto que, Es verdad que,Es cierto que.
I say confusing becasue in fact all 4 can be use with subjunctive but just becasue not all answers fall in doubt or uncertain, the system marked me wrong. Maybe you can consider changing the options?
why ”queria” (imperfekto)? It’s not a habit. Shouldn’t it be ”quise” (preterito)?
It’s man speaking. He says ”mi novio”. Shouldn't he say "mi novia" (unless he is gay of course)?
Le encantó su sorpresa! ?? I would expect "Me encantó su sorpresa" ??
Hola,
Just wondering about this statement:
Sometimes verbs giving advice / order can be followed by an infinitive. In this case, "que" shouldn't be used.
I haven't worked that one out yet - would you be able to embellish the circumstances, please?
Gracias,
When to use definite articles. "No tenemos cerdos" (no article), but "Los cerdos son adorables" (article).
What's the difference?
Could it ever be correct to say "Compré un nuevo ordenador nuevo" to express that it was both new to me and brand new? If not, how would you express that. This can be confusing in English as well.
The quiz translated this as "She is looking forward to starting her trip to Honduras." Wouldn't that be "Ella está deseando empezar su viaje a Honduras."?
Could you please present a couple of formats for questions in Spanish that would likely elicit answers using the "llevar + gerundio" response? Are the questions in the present tense? (The questions in English would be similar to: How long have you been studying? How many hours has he been waiting?) Thank you.
My grammar book (by Butt and Benjamin) says that the verb 'aconsejar' is in a transitional state, such that it is sometimes seen followed by an infinitive rather than by a subjunctive (despite the change of subject - like 'persuadir' and several other verbs)... Perhaps the 'Academia' in Madrid needs to make a ruling on this matter?
It says above "if the sentence has me, te, se, le, nos, os, les then no goes in front of these"
But what about direct object pronouns los, las, lo, la?
I was told in writing here in this app (and in another Spanish app) that when saying what you are (what your profession is), you do not put an article before the name of your occupation. Example: “Mi papá es médico.” (My dad is a doctor.) - No un of una. I took a test here earlier today and someone is a carpenter. I left out the article and was correct. Did I miss an exception? I will say that in this test, it was the person saying what their own profession is. “Yo soy un ?” I’ve already forgotten what the job was. Can anyone let me know? Gracias.
