In the section about no porque you say: "if the causal subordinate clause is negative, it allows both the indicative and the subjunctive (without changing the meaning)."
A says that no porque must be used with the subjunctive according to the Cervantes Institute, and you (Inma) seem to agree with him, saying: "with no porque you use the subjunctive."
I just did a Kwiz where "no porque era" was a correct option.
So, what is going on there? Can no porque take both the subjunctive and the indicative or just the subjunctive?
Are these correct?
A ti te gusta la historia y la fisica.
A mi me gusta el tenis y el futbol.
Puedes hablar y Dejan usar in the same sentence ? Te and Ellos?
Nice lesson! In what cases would use of the definite article be mandatory, grammatically speaking?
Also, as far as I can tell, the pronoun's gender does not relate to the gender of a person, the definite article can provide that clarification when needed.
Thank you.
No entiendo porque necesitamos usar nos en esta frase
I've listened over and over and can't hear the Y in "José y María".
Is it not there or am I just unable to hear it?
Hola Inma,
I can’t work out why whether the information is already known to the parties concerned, that the subjunctive is used [in the pretérito imperfecto].
Also why using the pretérito indefinido would indicate that the information is new information.
In other words what is the logic behind this when forming the subjunctive? I completely get the idea of a hypothetical idea requiring the subjunctive, but the aspect of whether the information is already familiar to the people concerned, is confusing me. Saludos. John
In the text above, it says, 'no parará de reír.'
But in the exercise it was corrected to 'reirse'
Which is correct?
The question was to say "You like Marbella". How could the correct answer be "Me gusta Marbella." Your answer is incorrect.
