Why???
I just figured out why I'm missing all the "usted" questions. When I go study verb charts, none of them even list the formal, so I have incorrectly using the second person plural.
But why? I've been told that it's hardly used, and if they don't even include it in the conjugation charts, . . . Really?
consider:
(1) she has made many sacrifices for her children
(2) she has made many books for her children
why
in (1) "for" --> por
in (2) "for" --> para
3. Mis amigos __ _______ ________________(venir) * a la fiesta de Roberto mi hermano.
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].
My dictionary gives "un fenómeno" - not "un fénomeno"?
What is the point of using 'me' in
no me lo puedo creer.
I do not have a Spanish keyboard so cannot put in the accents
With respect to the question "Which of the following masculine adjectives are the same in the feminine form?" which provides six choices, does the lesson provide the necessary information to correctly identify which are the same in their feminine form? I have the sense I am not comprehending exactly what the lesson is trying to tell us.
(I think I know what the lesson is trying to say now--Would the question above be true if it were stated thus: "Which of the following masculine adjectives remain masculine when used with feminine nouns?")
I don't understand why the answer is "ustedes." The speaker seems to be talking to a single child which would suggest singular, familiar and not formal and plural. Help me understand why.
