Spanish language Q&A Forum

Is it worth including "porque sé hablar tres idiomas" as another permissible option? ... (Or if that is wrong, perhaps you could point us towards an explanation as to why it is necessary to use "puedo" here).

1. In your "hint", you told us to "... use a pronominal verb for 'take advantage' " -

- but despite that^, in order to get a correct answer we were supposed to write: "Aprovecha la ruptura para conocerte más a ti misma" - [i.e., with 'aprovecha', a non-pronominal verb?]

("Aprovecha la ruptura ..." is of course quite consistent with the guidelines given in your lesson at Spanish verb Aprovechar vs Aprovecharse (pronominal verbs) [number 7478] ... so it is only your 'hint' which needs to be modified, not your text).

-.-.-.-.-

2. In your sentence: "... ya que ambos estábais sumergidos en una relación tóxica", there should not be a tilde in 'estabais'?

Sending love, prayers and positive thoughts to all in Kwiziq land. 

To all the teachers- thank you for continuing to be there for us on our language journeys. I hope you're all healthy and safe.

Like Alan, I was puzzled by the use of the subjunctive in some of your examples, particularly this one:

"Coge un par de plátanos, los que estén más maduros" - because to me it seemed that the speaker had indeed noticed that some of the bananas were riper than others. Maybe it makes sense, though, if s/he had not yet seen them - but in this latter case s/he would probably have said: "Coge un par de plátanos, preferentemente dos que estén más maduros" - [is that correct?] 

I can understand the use of the subjunctive when it is referring to the future - e.g., your sentence-example which begins: Quienes lleguen… [because it is not yet known who will reach the top first].
 

Hola Inma,

Would "ocurrió" be an acceptable alternative here?

Saludos
