Why would you say soy un cantautor? I thought you were not supposed to use an indefinite article when saying what occupation you have?
Hola Inma,
I couldn't find the link for the lesson you referred to in your reply, despite doing a search here.
"Do we use "iba" to show intention?"
Could you please give me the link. And Happy New Year!
Thank you,
Nicole
So, pura vida is used instead of hola or cómo estás? How would one translate pura vida in a casual conversation? As "hello", "how are you" or as "awesome" or something else?
This is more of a complaint that a question. There is confusion in tense nomenclature. What is often referred to here as Pretérito Perfecto is really Pretérito Perfecto Compuesto.
The Pretérito Perfecto Simple is referred to Pretérito Indefinido. The action in the Pretérito Perfecto Simple has definitely been "perfected". When doing quizzes quickly I often make a mistake when the Pretérito Perfecto is asked for. It would be nice if a uniform terminology were used in the teaching of Spanish
I really enjoyed this passage, it even made me a little teary-eyed! The sentiment is lovely.
I just wanted to check...
Should the first sentence be using vosotros, i.e. Me recordáis a mi abuela, porque es que brilláis con luz propia como ella.
Maybe I'm missing something but isn't the rest of the passage referring to two people?
Gracias de antemano 😊
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.
"Why did you tell Luisa......" seems to me to need the indefinite object pronoun as in "¿Por qué le habéis dicho a Luisa...." but this answer is marked as incorrect. Why? Isn't it actually the correct way to say this part of the sentence even though I haven't gotten to a lesson about these pronouns?
The lesson was unclear on whether this sentence structure is colloquial, formal or written only. Kindly elaborate. Regards
Hello,
Can you give some examples or guidelines on when and what contexts to use different words/phrases for "everywhere". For example, I'm confused when or what contexts to use dondequiera, por todas partes, por todos lados, and doquiere/por doquiere. Thanks very much for clarification.
II want to know the name of the wordthat goes with haber to form phrases dado estado etc
