Just want to remind people that we use the infinitive when we have the same subject in both clauses.
Also, would "va a darte" also be correct?
When would you use this vs. the regular imperative? Are they exchangeable or is one preferred over the other under certain circumstances?
Hi,
In many lessons and responses to questions, I have read that when deciding if you are to use imperfecto or indefinido, it is up to how the speaker thinks about the event. If the speaker thinks the event had a clear start and end, you should use indefinido, and if not you use imperfecto. Does this mean that it is entirely up to the speaker to decide which past tense is correct? I understand that there are situations where it is clear which is right and wrong, but I feel like in many cases it is a bit more ambiguous.
I thought I had understood all of the Gustar verbs, but this lesson was a great help, especially the "subject in the infinitive" nugget and all of the yellow box.
Puedes hablar y Dejan usar in the same sentence ? Te and Ellos?
I encountered this in a video:
John es estudiante. Roger es UN estudiante también.
Why does the article appear when también is added? Is this correct? If so, what is the explanation?
(Google translate also adds the indefinite article when también is used.)
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?
There is another chapter on using qué + noun + verb. ¡Qué lento va esa coche! = ¡Qué coche tan lento! Is this the same and correct ?
