Many years ago in a Mexican Spanish school I was taught that in a sentence like. No creo que Susana venga/haya venido hoy only those 2 options are correct. The imperfect and pluperfect subjunctive are only used if the verb in the main clause is in a past tense. There seems to be disagreement on this topic. What does RAE say? Is there regional variation on this topic?
These are taken from an exercise in the B2 Writing Library
I'm confused with the use of article here
deberías consumir espárragos trigueros, guisantes y habas but pondría ingredientes como la lechuga, las endibias, las espinacas, etc
What is the rule here?
"Sería tan romántico que mas las diera" is a B2 construction.
Hi, i cannot see any transcript about this reading passage. i can just listen to it. what can be the problem?
Why do some of the verbs get tildas?
se lo quiero comprar becomes comprárselo
and
se lo estamos decorando becomes estamos decorándoselo
In this sentence: "Les lazo la pelota y deben apagarla con las dos manos."
I throw you the ball, and you must stop it with two hands.
I don't understand the use of 'Les" is it referring to 'you"?
What is impeative?
Just want to mention that there are a few spacing errors that make identifiers show up in the wrong place. Ex: Ella no quiere que nosotros comamos tan rápido. (present subjunctive)
She doesn't want us to eat so fast.
¡Comamos más rápido!Let's eat faster!(affirmative command)¡No comamos tan rápido!Let's not eat so fast!(negative command) Unfortunately I can’t space on the iPad to show the correction but hopefully you can see the error. As a teacher, I know that something like this can confuse new learners.Cuando un hotel de cinco estrellas se te quede demasiado pequeño
I don't understand the function of 'se' in this phrase. Is it really incorrect to omit it?
I've checked the lesson on quedar(se) but don't see the rule here.
Gracias
