the words "such as" in the text do not appear in the Spanish translation
Why do you say que interesante and not como interesante
"You could recover your money" refers to a future possibility not a past action or possibility.
"You could have recovered your money" refers to not a past action but rather to something that could have been done in the past.. The English is confusing , however much the hint says it is a past action.
Usted ________ su dinero.You could recover your money.(HINT: It refers to a past action)debe recuperarha podido recuperarha recuperadopudo recuperardebería recuperarIn the first example of this lesson, could the word "solía" be omitted and simply use "nadia", as the verb tense implies "usually"?
Hola,
This looks to me like a passive construction. Yes /No?
Is there a lesson about using it this way?
Gracias. John
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.
Hola Inma,
Regarding the sentence "¿A quién no le gustaría quedarse en un lugar así? With the meaning "who would not like to stay in a place like this" I expected that the subjunctive may be needed, though exactly how this would work with the conditional is beyond me. Perhaps the inference is that absolutely nobody would refuse to stay there but I am speculating. Can you help?
Saludos
John
When do you use por in sentences and not para
Hola,
I think “les” is an indirect object pronoun in this phrase. I thought a direct object pronoun would be used because it is “we helped them.” We are the subject they are the direct object. Can you explain?
Many thanks. John
