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
In the lesson it says convertirse en and hacerse can both be used to talk about a career change with the former indicating a more drastic change. However in the quiz both answers are listed (for a sentence about a career change) but only hacerse is marked as being correct.
In this piece, the future events are expressed using ir, a, and the infinitive. My two-part question is whether, in the circumstances depicted in the piece, the simple future tense and/or the present tense could be used to express the future and under what circumstances each of the three choices is either indicated or preferred.
Muchas gracias de antemano.
Why is the verb contar used instead of decir in the sentence El dependiente me está contando
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
If I understand this correctly,(always a big "if") I think you should make reference to any irregularities in the ending. E.g., first person singular ends in "e" and third person has no accent. Maybe there are others.
Could you translate this as:
Espero que llegaras anoche
Mil gracias
Hi. There is an exact same question in the quiz as there is in this lesson. When I put the correct answer from this lesson, it was marked as wrong.
