Isn’t it correct to use either un altitud as well as una altitud because even though altitud is feminine, it starts with a stressed ‘a’?
One of the questions for this section was
Yo soy directora en una empresa. (I am a company manager).
Wouldn't it be better to say
Yo soy directora de una empresa. ?
Me alegra que ellos sean los primeros.
Why is this subjunctive? Is it because it comes after "que"? This sentence doesn't seem to express any doubt about their being the first.
Could I say "me alegra que ser el primero?" if I were talking about myself or would I have to write "me alegra que yo sea el primero"?
As if Spanish doesn’t involve enough ambiguous distinctions (par vs. para, ser vs. estar, pretérito indefinido vs imperfecto, etc., etc.). Does this issue (perfecto vs. I defy) pertain to Spanish usage outside of Spain? Spoken as well as written Spanish? Me vuelve loco. Español es como una mujer ambigua, seductora, y mandona . Bellísima y llena de contradicciones, me vuelve loco
Is it possible to tell whether something is more or less probable without a context?
e.g the test question which translates as ' write down the address in case you forget'
Hablo inglés perfectamente desde los trece años. I speak perfect English since the age of 13. (since I was 13)
This sounds very Spanglish to me. Surely it's I have spoken perfect English since the age of 13
How would you say he/she has?
Why is the present subjunctive not more correct for the following sentence? The lesson says it should be the imperfect subjunctive...but I think this is incorrect; this would require it be "you have had" rather than "you have"
"Maybe you have lots of friends in England"
Tú comerías más sano con nosotros.
Hi, why is this sano and not sanamente? Just wondering because it's translated as healthily.
