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.
In the quiz the answer was con Uds but I chose what I knew wasn't the right answer ustedes because the Uds would be capitalized in the middle of the sentence. I'm pretty sure that's not correct either. Anyway, I don't think we need these kind of trick questions. My thought is that is a poorly created test question. That said, I'm interested if one ever capitalizes Uds in the middle of a sentence or if the capitalized Uds is standard for the abbreviation of usted and I am wrong here.
Es un poco raro, que los moros no son mencionado??
for the last part of the notes, it says deber conjugated in indefinitivo does not mean the same thing. Am I right to say that this structure is only for present tense of saying something should have been done? how do we say such meaning in past tense? something should had been done?
I am confused- the present participle in English is used in both the despues de + infinitive and the gerundio. It’s hard to differentiate between the two in English so it’s guesswork in Spanish…
According to my dictionary, the word órgano is masculine, but the text has "una órgano."
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?
One of the quiz questions was
The citizens choose a new president for the country.
Los cuidadanos _____ nuevo presidente para el pais.
The hint was conjugate elegir in el presente.
To make the sentence complete I typed "eligen un" for the blank, but my answer was wrong. It said the answer was "eligen". Some of the quiz questions require you to type 2 words (or more). How was I supposed to know that this specific question only wanted 1 word, which doesn't seem complete?
I used "Cuál" thinking that what's on television is a limited, although large, selection. Like the example: "Cuál es tu flor favorita".
Why is "Qué" used here?
