The hints giving in the mini quiz for this lesson are not very helpful. Correct me if I am wrong, but the verb that we need to conjugate is ir not the second verb in the infinitive. Therefore, the hint should read conjugate ir in el presente, correct?
how can Spanish be the second most spoken language in the world? Sure, China is probably # 1 but just the population of the U.S.A. alone at more than 400 million is greater than all the native hispanohablantes. Add in Australia, South Africa, England, Scotland and a few other countries and 2nd and 3rd place must be very close. Almost every country conducts business in English so there are a lot of English as a second language speakers. Am I missing something?
This rule does not work with amable. If you do an exercise on superlatives with a question on "amable" before you read the lesson on -co, -go, -ble, and -z endings you will make a mistake. Perhaps this lesson should should point out that -ble endings are an exception.
Of course I will always remember the rule now after spending some time trying to discover why "amablísimos" was wrong.
Estar is a temporary condition so why is the answer ser regarding being sick?
Just a question -- will all these exercises have the Spanish accent from Spain? I am hoping to near Latin American
“María’s family are happy” is given as the translation to “La familia de María está contenta”.
This didn’t sound right to me so I googled and found this- https://style.mla.org/verbs-with-collective-nouns/
The reference would suggest that the translation should be ”María’s family is happy” as the members of the family are in agreement.
Any comments would be helpful. Thank you.
In sentence 1 why is the verb "dar" which I thought means to give used instead of "ir"?
In sentence 2 I see Cuenco means basin. Is it being used to somehow mean since a young age?
In sentence 2, "19" is spoken with an "f" sound in it when I was expecting a "c" sound. . Is it a dialect, am I hearing it wrong, or am I wrong that 19 is "dieinueve"?
Thanks.
