Why not subjunctive present tense?In this item:  "Era recomendable que fuéramos juntos a la excursión" why is "fuéramos" and not "vayamos" used for the translation "It was recommended that we go together on the trip."?

about subjunctive

Hola Inma,

1)  El hecho de que no haya. 

Why do you use subjunctive here? I thought el hecho is refering to something real (la falta de la oferta).

2)  ....  hasta que pueden dejar la casa de sus padres. 

In this case (future action) i would use the subjunctive. Would it be wrong?

¡Feliz año nuevo!

and he suffered many storms during his journey.

and he suffered many storms during his journey.

HINT: journey = travesía.

Kwizbot                 y sufrió muchas tormentas durante su travesía.

You                        y sufraba muchas tormentas a través de su travesía .

Hello, 

I was wondering why the preterit is used here and not the imperfect?  I would have thought that these  storms occurred throughout his journey, therefore the imperfect would be used?  

Thank you for your help in clarifying  this and I hope you had a wonderful Christmas! Wishing you the best New Year ever!

Creo que without Subjuntivo?Creo que el año próximo volveré a Sevilla .


Why is it not correct to use El Subjuntivo de Presente here, when the sentence starts with creo que? All the possible answers used Futuro instead.

"the" not "they"

However e > i verbs are different as they keep the e > i change all they way through their conjugation in El Presente de Subjuntivo.

When to use articles with direct objects?

I noticed a pattern in the examples.  Articles are always used with the subject of a sentence, but articles are only used some of the time with direct objects.

ARTICLES NOT USED WITH DIRECT OBJECTS

hoy no hay clase de español, tienes peces de colores, he comprado vasos de plástico, no tengo disfraz de Halloween

ARTICLES USED WITH DIRECT OBJECTS

ver la ropa de niño, voy a contarte un cuento de hadas, tengo que guardar mi ropa de verano, prefiero el vestido de flores, quieres un helado de fresa

QUESTION:  Is there a rule for when to use articles with the direct object?

Cheers,

Marcos

do you have ANY animals in the house?

The English asked for "any animals" on that last sentence. So would the better translation be ¿ tienes algunos animales en casa?

Hi, 

I searched on the site for the lesson referred to in one of the answers below  using various ways of asking the question, but didn't find anything, could you refer me to the lesson Silvia was referring to:

"We have currently a lesson in our system titled "qué" + "noun/adjective""

Thank you. Nicole
