sin importar su origen se les llame "gallegos. Why is the the subjunctive used with llamar rather that the indicative?
Hello,
Please would you point me to a lesson or explain briefly why "voy a comprarme" is used rather than "voy a comprar". Is it just clarification that I'm buying a house for me, rather than some random person, or is it absolutely needed?
Many Thanks
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.
8 Esa película no es apta para ________. Solo tienen 10 años.That film is not appropriate for you. You are only 10 years old.
(HINT: Use the right pronoun after the preposition.)
nos
ustedes
sus
ti
Hi,
What's the meaning of "se" in this sentence: El frotar se va a acabar...
Here, designed by Gaudí is POR but in the Rioja tourist office exercise :luxurious Marqués de Riscal Hotel whose design is by Frank Gehry
POR is not accepted. What should I note as the important difference?
Your translation of "There were many feminist movements" is given as "Hubieron muchos movimientos feministas" I had "Había muchos movimientos feministas". I can see why "hubo" would be preferred here, but I'm confused about "hubieron" Isn't the third person singular always used for "there was/were"?
Thank you
Hola,
Update - I just found the lesson on this. When to use the perfect tense versus the simple past (Perfecto vs Indefinido)
I live in the US and just switched to Latin American Spanish, since it is more likely Spanish speakers I meet will speak this way. I am curious if El Pretérito Perfecto is used in LatAm Spanish when not talking about experiences.
My question is about the quiz item: "El niño rubio con pantalones cortos es mi hermano."
Why was the article "los" not used before pantalones cortos? [e.g., El niño con los pantalones cortos es mi hermano.] An extension of my question here is that sometimes I notice a definite article is inserted while other times it is not. Therefore, what is the rule for using definite articles (los/las) in sentences of this type.
Saludos,
Pati E.
