Thank you , this is a really good reading exercise text.
Why is the answer portugesas, which isfemale?
Apologies, as this is a bit outside the lesson. Can the infinitive ever stand alone as a command in Spanish (without the a + form) in either the negative or positive? I was under the impression that it could, but I don’t specifically remember learning to do so, and I might be transferring from another language I’ve studied. Thanks!
Hola Inma, I have been trying to work out why both direct and indirect objects are present here.
I can't find a reference for a pronominal form of pensar, but on doing the exercise a second time, I noticed that the lesson for the se aspectual was listed as being relevant. Poder isn't given as one of the verbs that typically can take this construction, but does this explain why the reflexive pronoun is being used here, making the verb poder more "intense / complete" as explained in the example of "irse" in the lesson; .... or is there another explanation altogether. Espero que puedas ayudarme. Saludos. John
Ojalá tuviera dos cerebros para recordar todos los usos, ja ja ja. ¡Qué verbo tan útil! Aunque tiene tantas connotaciones, es fantástico.
Gracias y saludos :)
Hello,
I was confused as to why it's (y voy a salir de casa temprano) and not (y voy a salir la casa temprano)
I do not have to water them often,
Kwizbot no debo regarlas
You no necesito darlas agua
I’d like to know if my reply is good /correct Spanish or is it not the way this would usually be said. (I don't mean whether it would be understood, but is this the only way to say this, or can it be said other ways?)
Hope you had a muy Feliz Navidad and wishing you a wonderful New Year!
Thanks you.
Nicole
Why is "You will see..." translated to a command (Mira que...) whereas "Your will forget..." is translated to the future (olvidarás)? The structures appear to be the same.
I used to think Spanish was an easy language, but that was before I actually started learning it earnest.
I am now at 17% in level BI. Although the program reports a steady increase in my confidence, I am hanging onto it by a thread. The difficulty of the language is increasing geometrically.. I don't even want to think about levels B2 and C1
