Oh, si la vida fuera tan simple y perfecta...
Why is it igual and not iguales if it’s referring to 7 or 12 people?
The translation of:
Voy a mandar hacer un vestido
is given as:
I am having a dress made
I would have thought it to be:
I'm going to have a dress made
Why is it not the latter?
Thanks.
One of the quiz questions was
The citizens choose a new president for the country.
Los cuidadanos _____ nuevo presidente para el pais.
The hint was conjugate elegir in el presente.
To make the sentence complete I typed "eligen un" for the blank, but my answer was wrong. It said the answer was "eligen". Some of the quiz questions require you to type 2 words (or more). How was I supposed to know that this specific question only wanted 1 word, which doesn't seem complete?
When using "a tan solo de que", is the verb in the subordinate clause in the subjunctive?
One of the examples given is: "Nadie responde...lo mismo el restaurante ha cerrado." Can you say the same thing and exchange "lo mismo" for "quizas": "Nadie responde...quizas el restaurante haya cerrado."?
In sentence 1 why is the verb "dar" which I thought means to give used instead of "ir"?
In sentence 2 I see Cuenco means basin. Is it being used to somehow mean since a young age?
In sentence 2, "19" is spoken with an "f" sound in it when I was expecting a "c" sound. . Is it a dialect, am I hearing it wrong, or am I wrong that 19 is "dieinueve"?
Thanks.
Greetings, I have a question about the sentence “Mientras, los otros niños hacíamos una fila…” If the subject is los otros niños, should the verbs in this sentence be conjugated in the third person plural? Hacían? Entraban? There is no indication that the narrator is including himself in the group of kids waiting in line. Please help me understand. Thank you.
Hola, Inma!
Cuáles son las oraciones correctas:
1."No sabía si ERES mi amigo." o 2."No sabía si ERAS mi amigo."
La misma pregunta también aquí:
3."Quería saber si ERES mi amigo." o
4."Quería saber si ERAS mi amigo."
Muchísimas gracias,
Miltcho
Hi, I have a question about the grammar of this sentence. I apologize it doesn’t have to do with “aquella.” Just wondering about the use of “estaba.” Why not “estuvo?” For something to be broken is that not permanent? Or is it because it was fixed that it “used to be broken”? Am I over thinking this?
