hi what's the rule for using the subjunctive here?thank you
“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.
I wonder why this is referred to as se aspectual, because it can be any reflexive pronoun?
Un bolígrafo también es una pluma. Si?
¡Hola a todos!
Me ha gustado mucho esta lectura, pero quiero dejar un comentario.**
El autor escribe:
"Finalmente, quiero ver el amanecer sobre el Océano Pacífico, en Ciudad de Panamá, y el atardecer en el Océano Atlántico, en Colón."
Nunca he estado en Ciudad de Panamá. Dicho esto, ¿alguien ha visto salir el sol sobre el Océano Pacífico desde la costa oeste de Panamá? O, ¿ha visto ponerse el sol sobre el Atlántico en una playa de Colón?, en la costa este de Panamá? ;>)

Ayer fui a la piscina y ________ la toalla? Specifically why "se me olvidé" is wrong.
Is querría actually wrong on this case to say "I would like to see the paintings"?
Is there a difference between the above options? It looks like they can be used interchangeably, but I'm not sure. Here are the examples:
Vendemos productos cien por ciento naturales.Van a construir un hotel cien por cien ecológico.
Estoy seguro al ciento por ciento.
Thanks!
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.
To say sth is protected, are está and es interchangeable or is one preferred than the other?
