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
Hello,
In this workout there is a sentence - 'I have a new couch' the spanish translation in the answer and the complete text at the end it 'tengo sofá nuevo', should it be 'tengo un sofá nuevo'? I did notice that the lessons recommended for this section did include the lesson for indefinite articles.
Thanks, but now my wife wants a new sofa :-(
When there is no preceding noun, is there a way to use cuyo, cuya?
Por ejemplo: Whose book is this?
Can you use cuyo here, or must you resort to "¿De quién es este libro?"
Pensé que "encontrarse con" significaba un encuentro planeado mientras que "encontrarse a" significaba un encuentro casual. ¿Estoy equivocado?
Hi, consider including this type of example in the lesson. By the time i read the whole lesson i thought it was necessary to have a short pronoun even though it doesn’t explicitly say that.
The english text referred to great legends, so I chose gran, but it was marked incorrect. That seems to conflict with the answers given in the community.
Are anda and vaya interchangeable when used to express surprise?
Hi!
This is a general question I have about words that can both describe a hobby and an occupation. I have been wondering about the example "Soy culturista" (I am a bodybuilder). Would we only say that if we made a living from bodybuilding? Would we say "soy un culturista" instead, if bodybuilding were only a hobby? (I got the variant with un as an alternative suggestion from a translator website.)
Thank you as always!
The lesson was unclear on whether this sentence structure is colloquial, formal or written only. Kindly elaborate. Regards
