My confusion is that when I read 'le habían gustado' I think this was in the past, whereas she still very much likes dolphins and hence is going to have her dream fulfilled tomorrow'. Thanks
What other kinds of quizzes would you like to see on this site? One issue that I have encountered in the 'self-test' quizzes is that I can lazily rely on getting the answer by knowing that I'm going to get a question on a recent grammar point, etc, which means I'm not really thinking with any great depth, only assuming that the answer will be in reference to a recent lesson. For example, if I've just learned that por can refer to 'approximate location' I will know that that is going to be the answer when I encounter that kind of question (which might be amongst several conjugation type questions so will be even more obvious). I think the best way to address this is for the site to offer more general thematic quizzes to help consolidate certain points. For example, there could be a quiz on Por v Para which you could take after Stage A2. I would add these to the library as 'Consolidation Exercises'. Unfortunately, I think that our brains will always take the easiest route to the answer which isn't always the best way to learn.
We were told to form an adverb you take the feminine form and add 'mente' so it would effectively be 'Amente' So why does it say fuertamente is wrong, it's fuertEmente?
1Los enamorados se abrazan ________ . Lovers embrace each other tightly.(HINT: Convert "fuerte" into an adverb.)fuertamentefuertementefuertomente¿Cómo se escribe un mandato affirmativo en forma de nosotros con un pronombre directo? ¿Incluye "s" o no? ¿Sacamos el ¨s¨ el mismo que se hace con el pronombre reflexivo ¨nos?¨
Por ejemplo: lograr y lo (En inglés, "Let's achieve it!")
Logrémoslo? Logrémolo?
Hola Inma,
Can you tell me why "qué me gusta más" was not an option in this exercise please? Is it not acceptable?
Incidentally I enjoyed this exercise ... if only for learning the distinction between baile and danza.
Saludos. John
In this question I answered "éramos" instead of "fuimos" since the text referred to "used to be." Why was that wrong? I get that the "completed action in the past" hint confused the situation. Shouldn't the question be clarified, or am I missing something here?
Nosotros ________ muy buenos estudiantes.We used to be very good students.(HINT: Refers to a completed action in the past.)
From the lesson:
"Note that while "fue" is generally translated into "was" in English, "era" can be translated into "was", "used to be" and "would be"."
Hola Inma, There has been an issue with the "Play Audio" button on the dictation exercises for the last few days. Sometimes it sticks on "pause" after clicking "Play Audio" and at other times it doesn't respond to a click.
Specifically it has happened to me on "Breakfast the most important meal of the day" y "Energía todo el día." Can you ask the techies to look into it please? Saludos. john
"Why did you tell Luisa......" seems to me to need the indefinite object pronoun as in "¿Por qué le habéis dicho a Luisa...." but this answer is marked as incorrect. Why? Isn't it actually the correct way to say this part of the sentence even though I haven't gotten to a lesson about these pronouns?
