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
Hello, there is a section called "Variable Subjunctive" that has the sentence:
no tengo un profesor que viva en madrid
which means:
I don't have a teacher that lives in madrid.
My question is why would this be a subjunctive, it seems like what this person is saying is a fact that he knows that he doesn't have a teacher that lives in madrid. Or maybe he's trying to say that he doesn't have a teacher that he KNOWS OF. Idk I just want to know why it's a subjunctive. thank you
Puedes ayudarme con una oración en un libro estoy leyendo….No se si el autoro usa la palabra en una manera poética or es normalmente y correcto? Trying to understand if Aturdir and irritar are normally used like the above verbs ‘ like gustar etc. The following sentence from New Penguin short stories in Spanish [ de la cuenta ‘ La Indiferencia de Eva]. Me aturden las personas muy activas y, si son mujeres, me irritan.
No se puede viajar a ese país hasta que ________ seguro.
I don't understand why this sentence is translated as ... ('we' can't travel). Wouldn't it be podemos for *we* ? I thought *puede* was singular for he/her/it
I also don't understand why the answer is *sea* and not *se*
Can someone please explain.
Hi, are the following translations correct? Especially, I am a little confused about #2 (and #4), and wonder if "No creo que tú tuviera razón." is right for #2. Thank you.
1. I do not think you are right.: No creo que tú tengas razón.
2. I do not think you were right.: No creo que tú hayas tenido razón.
3. I did not think you were right.: No creía due tú tuviera razón.
4. I did not think you had been right.: No creía due tú hubiera tenido razón.
What is the word "estate"? Is it supposed to be "estarte"?
Hola,
I was marked correct for putting "una marca español" when in fact it is an exception to the rule for adjectives ending in "L" per the lesson, and should be española.
Is it in fact optional?
Saludos. John
