There was a question in the test where the correct answer was:
´Las islas canarias SON en el oceáno atlántio´
Why is it ´SON´ and not ´ESTÁN´?
For example,
Tengo que ir al colegio.
Instead of using "voy", ir was used. Why is that?
Thanks.
Re: ¿En qué trabajas / trabaja? What do you do? ¿A qué te dedicas / se dedica? What do you do?
Hello, Hope you, the team and families and friends are all well in these difficult times. I was wondering what the difference is if I were to say: "¿A qué trabajas? Since per the lesson this means: "If you want to ask someone what he/she does for a living, you can ask this way: ¿En qué trabajas? What do you do? (Lit: In what do you work?) I included "trabajas" in my reply, but it was marked as incorrect. Thank you for being there and helping out. Nicole
I had the question pasted below, but how is it that it can be both vosotros and os in the same sentence? And why isn't the gusta plural?
Thanks!
A vosotros no ________ este documental, ¿verdad?You [plural] don't like this documentary, do you?
Answer: os gusta
There was a sentence in the lesson:
Dime cuál te gusta más.
Tell me which one you like the most.
Wouldn't this translate to
Tell me which one you like more. ?
How would you say the correct sentences in Spanish to translate more and the most?
Also, why do speakers of Spanish have a difficult time when learning the comparative and superlative forms in English? It's like they don't realize they exist in Spanish too.
can you explain why, even though we're talking about a female, we would say "trabajas duro"? Gracias!
I believe that a couple of the examples used are commands (Imperatives), not subjunctive. Please clarify. Thanks
example:
¿Dígame? - Hola, ¿puedo hablar con Juan?[on the phone, lit: speak to me] Hello? - Hello, may I speak to Juan?
In the question "Yo no loraría aunque me [dejar]", with the hint that it is a hypothetical situation, it's clear that the subjunctive should be used. But why is it wrong to use the present subjunctive "dejes", and is only the imperfect "dejaras" correct?
What is the difference between this and the sentence Voy a salir después aunque llueva mucho. which is in the lesson "Aunque + el presente vs el presente de subjunctivo"?
Is it because of the conditional?
