Hola Inma,
No entiendo el uso de "a" en la siguiente frase: "Muchos años de trabajo y buen producto han convertido a esta denominación en la mejor garantía ..." ( párrafo 7). ¿ Es un error tipográfico o tiene algo que ver con el verbo convertir ? He buscado en el dictionario y solo he encontrado "convertir en" y "convertir a alguien a una idea". ¿ Me podrías explicar ?
Muchísimas gracias

I'm with the rest of the people below. How can a question be interpreted as a exclamation? If it has the ?? around it, it signifies a question. It shouldn't matter what language you're using. A question is a question. So how does this magically convert into a exclamation? Can someone from kwiziq please answer because it's been asked over and over for the past year. Thank you
What is wrong with "Teníamos que usar cascos de protección" . I have heard many people use "usar" for to wear.
¿select ...CómoQuiénDóndeQué vas a trabajar? Does not it (also) mean How are you going to work? In what manner?
So, I'm trying to solidify this idea in my head by contrasting it with the imperfecto de subjuntivo. Is the subordinate clause not in the subjunctive here because the speaker (presumably the 3rd party and the person repeating the statement) take for granted the factual of the idea (ie in the sentence "el hombre de tiempo dijo que llovería hoy" that the idea that it is going to rain is considered a fact, and not a supposition.
Can you guys give us a full breakdown of what things (verbs) use the third person "they did this for me" but it's translated in English as "I had done." ?? It's very confusing and it seems kinda random what things you can use this with or not. The only reason I even knew that this structure existed is because I have some Mexican family members who use this structure but in English. For instance they might they "they're fixing the car right now." But they mean they're having the car fixed for them right now.
In some lessons you guys mention personal care "being done for oneself" but it's still first person, like cutting hair, doing nails. I'm just confused as to when it's ok to use third person or not.
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?
Hola Inma,
The translation of the above is given as “Come up here without stepping on the white floor tiles.” This sounds like an imperative, so would it be one of the appropriate conjugations ¡Ve/Vea! etc? Or is it a typo?
Saludos. John
