Please explain on what basis cuándo is correct here and not cuando. This looks to me like a perfectly straightforward statement of fact. No one is asking a question. In fact, this sentence is an answer to a question such as, "When will you see him again?"
Could we use "el" in this context? No possessive is used with body parts; it seemed that a constitution is a part of government, and not "owned" by it.
Oh, si la vida fuera tan simple y perfecta...
I only get the same two questions and no matter how many times I answer them correctly, I never can get to 100%. How can I finish this subject?
Would it be helpful to explain this way?
sentado/a(s) = seated; tumbado/a(s) = laid?
Hola,
I just have a general suggestion for these listening exercises.
When sentences are split in many parts I often forget what the first parts were and who or what actually the subject was. It would help immensely, if I could still see the first parts of the sentence, which I already solved, while I'm listening to the next part. Maybe you can think about introducing that at some time in the future.
Thanks!
The lesson was unclear on whether this sentence structure is colloquial, formal or written only. Kindly elaborate. Regards
How to distinguish when to use direct pronouns and when indirect?
Why are these two sentences different? One uses "para comprar" and the other just "comprar." I want to understand the rule that allows you to omit "para" before an infinitive.
1. Le costó 5 dólares comprarlo de nuevo.
2. Él necesita 5 dólares para comprarlo.
"... contemplaría llover intensamente" is an interesting semantic construction - not immediately intuitive to a native English speaker. However, it is consistent with the fact that Spanish often tends to use an infinitive to translate a gerund or a noun in English: [you do have at least one exercise illustrating this point, I believe].
