Spanish language Q&A Forum

Trick questions like this one don't help and no one is going to put that adjective in front of axe in Spanish. Smh. I like this web site but the way you guys format questions is really annoying at times. The questions should reflect how a native is MOST LIKELY to say something, not "well let's mess with these people trying to learn a language and confuse them at the same time."

I am confused by the second sentence of this short paragraph. Why is the article "el" needed (required) before the color names?

Hi,

In the above sentence, could 'la culpa' be replaced with 'culpar'?  This way it would be like English.

Thanks.

Best regards,

Hi everyone!

I am a new member of the community and would like to know what to use the forums for? What are the guidelines, who are the mods etc? Thanks!

It says, Además, me encantaría que mis alumnos desarrollen....

I was thinking it would say instead, Además me encantaría que mis alumnos desarrollaran...

Maybe I am overgeneralizing a concept or rule that isn't used here?

Can I use debo instead of debería? For example: 

Me gustaria saber mas sobre el uso del verbo ECHAR. Hay muchas oraciones con este verbo en el articulo. Gracias!

Great structure to know!  Check your English translations, however, as they don't fit the correct grammar patterns:

1.  If PRESENT, then FUTURE

2.  If IMPERFECT, then CONDITIONAL

3.  Your "If PLUPERFECT, then CONDITIONAL PERFECT" examples are correct.
