Part of a sentence in the above exercise says "Donde se encerraba a los enemigos del castillo" Should encerraba not be plural i.e. encerraban? Is it singular because " a los enemigos" is indirect? I'm confused. Why not fueron encerrados?
I need to listen at a lower level than this. Can we go back to the beginning?
Why is it "soy feliz" and not "estoy"?
I would have written the correct answer but I thought I'd try using 'hermanita' is it sounded more loving to me. Would that be incorrect?
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.
