In this item: "Era recomendable que fuéramos juntos a la excursión" why is "fuéramos" and not "vayamos" used for the translation "It was recommended that we go together on the trip."?
Hola,
Is the ‘hitting’ azo always in the masculine form?
I’m seeing cabezazo rather than cabezaza.
Gracias,
Hello, in this sentence
"Mi madre usa el teléfono móvil para hacer llamadas o mandar mensajes."
During the challenge it appeared that both "hacer llamadas" and "mandar mensajes" would need their own "para", due to the way in which the sentence was broken up. I can see now in the full text that "in order to" applies to the sentence "make calls or send mesages" but in the challenge I added a "para" for each sentence.
Is it just me or could this be tidied up?
Thanks
There was a sentence about monuments that was asking me for which form of "arabe" that I should have used. I put "arabes" but it was marked wrong and it said that it should be arabe - is that correct and are there any more adjectives like this that are invariable in both the singular and plural?
I don't know, I take ONE DAY OFF and you change the look of kwiziq!!!
It looks lovely doesn't it, a nice refresh and a bit cleaner looking to my eyes.
Thanks
How do I learn about imperatives that are irregular like “ven”....?
In the quiz the answer was con Uds but I chose what I knew wasn't the right answer ustedes because the Uds would be capitalized in the middle of the sentence. I'm pretty sure that's not correct either. Anyway, I don't think we need these kind of trick questions. My thought is that is a poorly created test question. That said, I'm interested if one ever capitalizes Uds in the middle of a sentence or if the capitalized Uds is standard for the abbreviation of usted and I am wrong here.
Does it mean “he doesn’t know who he’s dealing with?”
Thanks again
Shirley
Hello, in this exercise, the first sentence has two uses of "que", the first one does not trigger the subjunctive, but the second one does. I think it may be a useful teaching point if you could explain to me which of the many subjuntive rules apply here. Many thanks
"Soy el dueño de una empresa muy importante que está buscando a alguien que hable tres idiomas extranjeros."
I have a Spanish grammar book that teaches this construction of the passive voice: ser + past participle + por... is this NOT correct? That same book does not mention using estar
