Puedes escribir lo corto que sea
What does this sentence mean? I’m trying to say you can write however short it is.
And why is there subjunctive following lo corto?
Can anyone direct me to the correct grammar for this ?
Hola Inma, I have been trying to work out why both direct and indirect objects are present here.
I can't find a reference for a pronominal form of pensar, but on doing the exercise a second time, I noticed that the lesson for the se aspectual was listed as being relevant. Poder isn't given as one of the verbs that typically can take this construction, but does this explain why the reflexive pronoun is being used here, making the verb poder more "intense / complete" as explained in the example of "irse" in the lesson; .... or is there another explanation altogether. Espero que puedas ayudarme. Saludos. John
I understand that No, Verdad are correct and taught in the lesson but is vale really wrong?
I was planning to go for a holiday - pienso ir de vacaciones, pensaba ir de vacaciones. Iba a ir de vacaciones. Does all these mean the same thing ? Ir in imperfect + a + infinitive seems very similar to pensar + infinite. In this case, do we use pensar in present tense or in imperfect (same as the way IR is used) ?
Is this expression used only in Spain? I cannot find more information about the usage of this idiom. My teacher has not heard of this either.
So the right answer to this was marked conozco. Why isn't it conozca?
Creo que no te conozco. ¿Cómo te llamas?
(I don't think I know you well. What's your name?)
Ah, me encantaba jugar este juego cuando era una niña!
Gracias por este ejercicio excelente Shui. :)
I understand that no articles are used in negatives
e.g no hay tienda
Therefore, I am asking whether you would also drop the article in this sense?
e.g hay el de rojo--> no hay de rojo?
