Why is "Ellos propusieron cambiar la ruta del viaje." wrong?
Why is "Propusieron cambiar la ruta del viaje." the only right answer?
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.
The table has two examples of verbs not three.
Why don’t buitres and águilas reales have definite articles? Is it because they are examples? It’s 50/50 for me with definite articles, I can’t see any pattern and the rules seem to change even after looking at the lessons!
i have two questions for this one first why there is an a after venir is it coz its
equivalent to be able to ?
second why five is las not la five is a number singular thx in advance for the support gracias

Can you give advice/commands in Spanish with the conditional form of deber/tener que?
In this lesson I see:
Si te gustan esos pendientes, deberías comprarlos.If you like those earrings, you should buy them.
Si ellos son los responsables, deberían pagar.
If they are responsible, they should pay.
These are advice/commands.
There is also the other lesson "Si [if] followed by present indicative + main clause [command/request/advise]".
What is the point then of this lesson?
Hello,
Why should you use the imperative in the conditional if the present tense suffices?
In this lesson it is taught that you have to use the imperative in the conditional if you want to give advice.
However, in the other lesson "Si [if] followed by present indicative + main clause (present tense/future tense)" there are also sentences that give advice without using the imperative.
Si te gustan esos pendientes, deberías comprarlos.If you like those earrings, you should buy them.
