Hola todos,
Hoping you are all well.
I have 2 questions on this exercise:
that broke the monotony of black and white.
1-) re: que rompía la monotonía del blanco y negro.
I wrote: "del negro y blanco."
Could you tell me why the Spanish inverts the adjectives. (I even checked with Reverso and they translated it the same way.
2) re: and people liked it.
Kwizbot y a la gente le gustaba.
You y le gustaba a la gente.
Don't know why this particular arrangement would be the only one possible?
Thank you.
Nicole
fui a malaga por/en avion
Do both of these work?
I always thought ´por´ was correct/more used?
If definite articles are used on the subject of a sentence, why are they used with ríos and vegetación? Isn't the subject of the sentence acid rain? If a word that receives the action of the verb (contaminar) is the object , doesn't that make ríos and vegetación objects not subjects?
I think I've reached the limit of all my understanding of grammar in both Spanish and English. I can't get this right. I'm ready to quit.
Shouldn't it be Quema calorías limpiando, not limpiado?
It might have been helpful to include a little more information about El monumento al Encierro. I searched broadly but even Wikipedia had nothing on it other than that "Encierro" has to do with the running of the bulls in Pamplona. However, not wishing to be defeated, after much probing I found:
El encierro es una práctica dentro de la tauromaquia que consiste en correr (dentro de una vía urbana cercada) delante de una manada no muy abundante de toros, novillos o vaquillas. Los encierros son muy populares dentro de España y América Latina, en los lugares donde se celebran Fiestas Taurinas. El Monumento al Encierro es una gran escultura del artista Jalisciense Jorge de la Peña Beltrán, que representa a siete toros y un caporal a caballo camino a la corrida donde habrán de revelar su coraje. Es una obra fundida en bronce, donde cada toro pesa por lo menos media tonelada; el caporal 1,700 kg. El monumento mide 24 metros de largo por 10.5 de ancho y tiene una altura de 6.5 metros. Su existencia es un continuo homenaje a los ganaderos aguascalentenses ya que cada toro lleva marcado el fierro de una ganadería de la zona.
¡Eso es casi suficiente para que quieras ir a verla!
In this quiz question: How would you say "They are wondering what might happen during the next elections."?
Se preguntan qué ocurrirá en las próximas elecciones
Can you discuss why the subjunctive wouldn't work here? I got this right, but only because I guessed correctly at what lesson the question was testing.
I can tell you care about UX, so I would say there is too much clicking to move through this exercise. Maybe you could save the grading until the end, and just move from point to the next, or you could at least take out the self-grading requirement to move to next.
I think I read in one of the lessons that decir was used to describe briefer statements, while contar was used when statements were more extensive or detailed. Would it also be correct to say "Me contó que solo era cuestión de tiempo..."?
