¿............... el timbre? / Can you hear the doorbell?

Hi,

I have just completed a test which included the above.

I answered: Oyes tu (sorry, can't get accents to work), which was marked wrong.

Another question was: ¿..................... la chimenea? Two answers were given: Enciendes and Enciendes tu. This was marked nearly right.

Are the answers with 'tu' (or any other personal pronoun) not acceptable in Spanish? Is the only way to ask a question in Spanish to raise the tone at the end?

Look forward to your reply.

Thank you.

Best regards,

Colin

¿A quién no le gustaría.....?

Hola Inma,

Regarding the sentence "¿A quién no le gustaría quedarse en un lugar así? With the meaning "who would not like to stay in a place like this" I expected that the subjunctive may be needed, though exactly how this would work with the conditional is beyond me. Perhaps the inference is that absolutely nobody would refuse to stay there but I am speculating. Can you help?

Saludos

John

Menor or Menos ?

It offers solutions with LESS impact. I put MENOS impacto and don't understand why this is incorrect. I understand MENOR to mean smaller or younger

Gracias

comparison in lessons

Thank you Inma for further clarification. I have enjoyed this site, but the one thing I would like to see in the lessons are these kind of comparisons. Just my recommendation. I do appreciate the work you do.

Indicative or subjunctive?

Does this construction always require indicative or can it also be used with subjunctive?

Use of 'incluso'

For the phrase 'and he even gave his opinion', would 'y incluso dio su opinion' be an acceptable answer?
