Why is this being translated "menos entresantes que" in this test, but was translated "menos entresante que" in the exact same question earlier today?
Present + desde hace ...
Hace ... que + present
------
Imperfect + desde hacía ...
Hacía ... que + Imperfect
Hola, Inma,
In a previous reply to Remy, you gave the example:
Quizás Miguel no apruebe.
He may not pass (in the future, he hasn't done the exam yet)
Quizás Miguel no aprobara.
He may not have passed (he already did the exam and we doubt if he passed or not)
Is it possible to use the perfect here
Quizás Miguel no haya aprobado.
and if so, how would the meaning be different from the earlier two examples?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Esta solía ser mi antigua escuela.
I'm pretty sure that I'm right and it puts "era". I know that "solía ser" is even more accurate than "era".
Hi!
So in "Si empiezas el trabajo mañana, te tocaría archivar los expedientes a primera hora", here tocaría is a conditional, so would the correct translation not be "you would have to file" Instead of "you will have to file"? Like this: "If you start work tomorrow, you would have to file the dossiers first thing."
Thank you and have a good weekend!
I have noticed in general that spanish speakers have different intonations at the end of sentences or part of sentences which confuse the listener and in dictations result in incorrect punctuation.
Would it not be better to translate this as "Estabais comprando las bebidas mientras comíamos." ?
In the test question, "Rafael y Julio son unos chicos muy . . . ," The English translation omits the "some" (unos). I wonder why that was done. Was it to show that "unos" is always added in the given Spanish usage? I would be interested in any corresponding lesson.
Hi, I noticed that this lesson link points to the -er verb version of this lesson.
And also A2 Using tanto como with verbs and nouns to say as much,many ... as (comparatives) , with adjectives is the Same lesson.
