This is the third time in the past month that I'm finding loaded leftist political sentences in the quizes. You guys should really leave politics out of the learning environment. It's a huge turnoff. It makes you guys look very ignorant and extremist. One sentence for example was celebrating socialism. Very inappropriate to say the least.
Hi,
The link to the above takes you to a page with the sub-heading 'Spanish Present Perfect'.
I thought 'preterite' was always related to the past as it says in the text on that page. So, why is it present perfect in Spanish?
Thanks.
Colin
Since The main differences between ser and estar include that ser is used for permanent qualities, like your name, your place of origin, and your physical appearance, while estar is used to talk about temporary situations, such as how you’re feeling right now or your location.
So why is SER used in this sentence: Tú eras muy bueno. - the person that you are talking to is not always good so it is not a permant state.
Ditto in the following sentence. You are not always rich so why use SER in the following: Vosotros erais ricos.
The directions say with verbs that imply movement we can use all the forms, but the correct answer to the question was "adónde" and "dónde". Seems the directions should say, with verbs that imply movement we can use either accented form.
This is another one incorrectly graded. My answer was criáis, which is the correct Vosotros translation, yet is marked wrong.
I answered 'tendremos una' , but the correct answer was, just, 'tendremos'. Why is 'una' not required?
Los cuales las cuales en el hotel
hi what's the rule for using the subjunctive here?thank you
I am surprised that there is not a note on this question: what's in (your bag)?
It may seem tempting to translate "is" to "esta'" but actually "is" means "is there" so it should be "hay". I thought this is an interesting case to be included in this lesson. :)
Hola,
The first sentence above uses 'mayor' to mean eldest. How would you say 'elder'?
How can you be sure which is meant between the two?
How do you for the superlatives and the opposites (the least) of the comparatives?
Muchas gracias.
Saludos,
Colin
