Mis amigos van a pagar una cena en un restaurante tailandés.
Si mue gusta. Cuando era niña comi toda las gaetas del mundo
In the case of the broken radio, using 'es' suggests the radio is irreparable, whereas 'está' suggests it can be repaired
In Thea question in the quiz, they give you the hint to conjugate hacer in el conditional simple which I did but my answer was marked as wrong. Can you explain why please? Thank you
For example: Nosotros nos reímos siempre con esa película. We always laugh at that movie. I would have never known to use "con." I would have chosen "a."
And, Ustedes se ríen de los niños. You laugh at the children. Again, I would have chosen "a" instead of "de." Why "con" in one sentence and "de" in another?
Will there be lessons on how to choose the correct preposition, or is it a matter of memorising the conjunction with the noun?
Hi, being back after a few months, I noticed that all example sentences use indicative mood, while the one in the lessons was in subjunctive:
De habérmelo explicado antes, no me hubiera enfadado tanto.
Why isn't this conditional, ... no me habría enfadado tanto?
I would have said “en el sol”, not “al sol”
Muchas gracias Silvia, Shui e Inma -
Hay otro hecho interesante [¿e importante?]:
Durante el mes de septiembre [y también en marzo], la latitud del sol [es decir su posición encima de la superficie de la Tierra] cambia más que en los otros meses [durante su viaje N>S, o S>N]. Por eso, las duraciones de luz del día están disminuendo muy perceptiblemente - por 27½ minutos durante esta semana [en Londres].
Since The main differences between ser and estar include that ser is used for permanent qualities, like your name, your place of origin, and your physical appearance, while estar is used to talk about temporary situations, such as how you’re feeling right now or your location.
So why is SER used in this sentence: Tú eras muy bueno. - the person that you are talking to is not always good so it is not a permant state.
Ditto in the following sentence. You are not always rich so why use SER in the following: Vosotros erais ricos.
