Why does the use the preterite perfect rather than the simple preterite?
Prefiero estudiar en un ambiente de inmersión. ¿Sería posible cambiar la interfaz a español, como un opción para cada usuario?
Hi, in this example:
Ojalá encuentren la medicina adecuada para tratar su enfermedad.I wish they found the right medicine to treat his illness.
Doesn't the Spanish say "I hope they find the right medicine to treat his illness."? That is, "ojalá encuentren" is in the present tense expressing a hope, not the past tense expressing a lament ("I wish they (implied: had) found.")
¿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?
Un bolígrafo también es una pluma. Si?
I thought that porque explained the cause of something whereas como presented a fact that the listener needed to know to understand what followed (but was not the cause). It I’m not sure if that rule works with the examples here? Am I missing something?
I like to think back to how new structures build on previous ones. Are these sequences correct?
(1) las sandias grandes (large), las sandias más grandes (the largest), las sandias más grandes jamás cultivadas (the largest ever grown).
(2) el mejor vestido (the best), el mejor vestido jamás deseñado (the best ever designed)
Thanks.
Hello,
Re: These two sentences: "los profesores, los estudiantes, and: los niños y los jubilados"
In this exercise I noticed the repetitive use of “los” in the above sentences, and I would tend not to repeat these. i.e. just say: los profesores y estudiantes.
Is there something I’m missing? Thank you, Nicole
Hello,
Can you give some examples or guidelines on when and what contexts to use different words/phrases for "everywhere". For example, I'm confused when or what contexts to use dondequiera, por todas partes, por todos lados, and doquiere/por doquiere. Thanks very much for clarification.
En inglés, se escribe 'indifference' ;-)
