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.
Hi there........so, am I getting this right: these two examples are in pret indefinido because they have an ASSUMED timeframe in the speakers' mind?Nosotros estuvimos hablando con los periodistas.Ellos estuvieron arreglando el grifo de la cocina.
Hi there, I tried this sentence: "El detengase de la autobus está cerca mi casa." But it was marked as incorrect, is detengase not a synonym?
Thanks!
Is there a rule about when the "o" at the end of the 3rd person has an accent or not? It seemed that when "y" replaces the "i", there's no accent on the "o", but that doesn't work for oyó
EDIT: maybe only after "j" replacement is the "o" without an accent?
can we only use "lo suyo" if it refers to something mentioned before? ie we cannot say "eso sería lo suyo" as a stand alone sentence?
The correct translation is con su mejor amigo. Why is it wrong to say con su amigo mejor?
How do I find answers to my questions.
How do I type an inverted ?.
I had much trouble with the accent of the man who was dictating... He says "s" with "th" and spoke very quickly....Very difficult to understand.
We don't use "th" here or "vosotros"...so it's very different... But the man spoke very quickly with the words intertwined.
