I wonder if there is an error in this question:
Este hotel, ________ inauguración fue ayer, va a recibir muchos turistas alemanes.
I think that the answer should be cuyo (because hotel is a masculine noun), but the Kwiziq answer on the test question is cuya. Is this a mistake on Kwiziq's part, or am I not understanding something?
I don't see how you know from the 'in case you forget' sentence whether it is likely or not. Surely it depends on whom you are talking to?
e.g. my daughter, not likely to forget; my husband, very likely to forget. How can I tell from the question?
WWhen do you use divertido instead of divertida
Hola a todos,
No hay muchas carreteras ________ conducir despacio. There are not many roads where one can drive slowly.HINT: ¿Dónde or donde?
Although the required answer here is ‘donde’, I instinctively want to write ‘donde se puede’. So it’s ok to leave out the ‘se puede’= ‘one can’ and just use the infinitive, in this instance ‘conducir’? I appreciate that this quiz is only to determine whether to use ‘donde’ or ‘dónde’ but it just read oddly to me.
Gracias :)
I believe that a couple of the examples used are commands (Imperatives), not subjunctive. Please clarify. Thanks
example:
¿Dígame? - Hola, ¿puedo hablar con Juan?[on the phone, lit: speak to me] Hello? - Hello, may I speak to Juan?
there are 2 separate lesson on this verb poder with the meaning of could, able to do something or not.
May I check if my understanding is correct?
Perfect tense and indefinido both means not being able to something, did not manage to do it, and we saw the result which is able or not able to. They have the same meaning but just that different time period will trigger each of them separately.
Whereas, imperfect tense is about the action not able or being able to do at a specific time but we did not know the ending.
Hope someone could help clarify.
Thanks
Can they be used synonymously? What is the difference in meaning and use between the two?
Hola,
I don't know if a reply occurred in some other area, but I was wondering if you could give a bit more info
to help me understand this. I still have trouble with this particular example.
My earlier question was following your reply for : "Why the imperfect is used and not the preterit in:"puesto que era mi cumpleaños "
(I sent this same request on my Questions and Answers page, and didn't see the reply there,)
Muchas gracias, Nicole
The question
________ a vuestra pregunta.I am answering your question.HINT: Conjugate "contestar" in El Presente Continuo.
I understand the answer Estoy contestando buy why is the preposition "a" included in the original sentence. "Vuestra pregunta" is not a person. Estoy contestando a vuestra amiga
