Desde hace una semana solo estoy comiendo fruta.
Why is this wrong? I’ve only been eating fruit for a week
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
Hello,
Can you give some examples or guidelines on when and what contexts to use different words/phrases for "everywhere". For example, I'm confused when or what contexts to use dondequiera, por todas partes, por todos lados, and doquiere/por doquiere. Thanks very much for clarification.
Hello,
I found the following sentence in a Spanish grammar book that I am studying: “Por que es azul el cielo?”
I thought the sentence would be: “Por que el cielo es azul?”
What kind of rule does the first sentence fall under and how would I know when to structure my sentences like that? For example, would this only happen with questions?
Muchísimas gracias!
I found this confusing.
"Hemos pedido" translates into English as "asked," which is a past tense. So I wanted to use pusiera. But the answer requires present subjunctive (ponga).
Is it always true that when the main verb is in the present perfect, the subsequent clause will use the present subjunctive? So in Spanish we should treat present perfect as a present tense, whereas in English it is a past tense?
Estamos a los segundos de las campanadas de fin de año.
We are just a few seconds after the bells of the end of the year.
Estamos a unos segundos de las campanadas de fin de año.
We are just a few seconds before the bells of the end of the year.
Hi, when I took this exercise, I was unsure who was the subject of the third part, as Rocío Jurado had been mentioned in part two, it lead me to belive that part three was talking about him. Is it just me, or could you add a note to say that part three refers back to Gloria? Thanks
Doesn't I've already returned e.g. I have returned imply Pretérito Perfecto Compuesto, e.g Ya he vuelto
In writing exercise "A perfect day in Granada", I am expected to use simple present tense to talk about the near future plans. And the "ir + verb" structure is not accepted as an alternative correct answer. Why?
My neighbours enjoy playing music really loudly.
"with verbs like gustar"

Nowhere in there does it list "divertir"
I'm unclear on why it wasn't divierten like it would have been "disfrutan"
