Would my answer (quiénes) be correct if I didn't have the accent? If not, can you explain why not? The correct answer was shown as "que"
The answer given is in the present tense... llamo but I think it should be either in the future or present subjunctive. Please explain
Hola todos,
in the examples like Nuria has lived in California for 3 months, shouldn't it be: Nuria has been living in California for 3 months to express that it is still ongoing?
In the test I was similarly irritated with the sentence I have lived on a boat for 4 weeks, which I would translate as He vivido en un barco por 4 semanas, but the only option making sense was the one having the form explained in this lesson.
Of course I may be wrong, English isn't my first language.
I just took a quiz that included this (correct) answer: "ya sea salado o dulce" to complete the sentence "Me encanta la cocina francesa...." Why doesn't the 1st adjective change to agree in gender with "cocina"? I picked it anyway, as there was no option with "salada" (and it was the best available option) but it still struck me as incorrect.
"¿Tú traes a tus padres a la graduación?"
Where do you put the subject pronoun in sentences?
Before or after the verb?
In this sentence, I see it before the verb, but sometimes it is after the verb.
Buenos Dias,
Please, help to understand, once for all, these "nasty" Direct and Indirect Object Pronouns:
Ex: Laura se lo compro = Laura bought it for her. Can also be Laura bought it for him? How can we make the difference? Also, the English sentence can be translated in Spanis like "Laura se la compro?" Thanks for help, Michael Aldea.
I'm just curious about the English translation. To be grammatically correct in English, I supposed you'd have to say, "the students with whom I partied." But no one talks that way, and it sounds very stuffy and formal. So I take it, you have decided not to follow English grammar to the letter, but rather the way people actually talk. I think that's a good decision. I take it you are descriptive rather than prescriptive grammarians?
She has been working there
The best answer is:Compare your answerElla he hecho trabajado ayahtrabaja allá
You could also say:Ella trabaja allí
Hola Inma,
This appears to be a question but there are no question marks. Is there a reason for this; I am wondering if it is because it is rhetorical?
Saludos
John
