Would it be helpful to explain this way?
sentado/a(s) = seated; tumbado/a(s) = laid?
What is wrong with "Teníamos que usar cascos de protección" . I have heard many people use "usar" for to wear.
for this story, can i say 'el clima era bueno.' to replace 'Hacía buen tiempo' ?
We can't use the gerund as an adjective...so why is there "casas colgando"? Isn't it the gerund here?
I am confused because we are practicing the present tense of the verb but why are the examples in the present continuous?
In the explanatory pop-up for "Como se prepara una tortilla de patatas:" https://spanish.kwiziq.com/revision/grammar/expressing-instructions-and-general-statements-with-the-impersonal-se-one.
I'll spend some time on this exercise because I find these uses of "se" to be very interesting.
Also this was my first encounter with "echa/echan." There does not appear to be a lesson dedicate to its conjugation, but there is this which seems to be sufficient: https://spanish.kwiziq.com/revision/grammar/expressing-instructions-and-general-statements-with-the-impersonal-se-one.
Hi there,
in the explanation for el Futuro proximo it is stated that you always use the verb go + a + infinitive, but in the quizzes, some answers are without the a, and I don't understand when to use "go + a + infinitive" and when to just use "go + infinitive"
Thanks
Question on why the final bit "we were a little dizzy" should be conjugated in imperfect rather than simple past. I imagined that one moment in time when "we were dizzy" should be the opposite. I get that estar is often conjugated in imperfect, but this seems a lot like one moment that's no longer taking place, encapsulated in the past, not continuing and not one that lasted long (given that "we were *a little* dizzy.") Help please?
Why does sentence need A at the beginning? (The other examples don’t have it).
Thanks very much
Shirley
