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?
The correct answer was listed as “La gente siempre quiere …”. My response was “Siempre la gente quiere …” Do you have any guidelines on word sequence/placement? It seems like I’ve seen “siempre” at the beginning of a sentence or clause in other contexts. As always, muchas gracias for your insights!
Why is is teneis que hacer la compra and not tienes que hacer las compra?
In one of the questions you have this statement:
"but now he lives in Italy
HINT: but = pero, now = ahora, put "now" after "although" "but there is no "although" in the statement
Why is it "sigue" and not "siguen" in the following sentence? - Además, un 62 % de los latinoamericanos sigue una dieta especial...
Do I need to use sino que when any conjugated verb follows, or only when the conjugated verb is different from the conjugated verb in the first clause? If the verbs are the same (vas a +infinitive) which is correct?
Pienso que Marta no esta celosa.
It might be worth rewording the Hint given with "... one of the industries that benefited the most from this new technology" > "... una de las industrias más beneficiadas de esta nueva tecnología".
It reads: "The adjective "new" refers to another or a newly-acquired technology rather than its condition". We were referred to Position of adjectives in Spanish - [reference number 6982] and I thought your hint implied that 'nueva' was acting to differentiate the noun 'tecnología' [i.e., to distinguish it from others] - rather than to 'emphasise' it.
