You say "Ustedes" which is plural but you translate it as "you" in the singular in the answer, so the learner does not know which answer to choose.
In this example we have the same subject in both clauses, but still use the subjunctive:
Te pondrías muy triste si me vieras sufrir.
Is this because "si" is used? Would it still use the subjunctive if we use "que" in the above sentence?
Thanks.
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
Ustedes __________ la lección. has the correct answer (comprendieron) as two answer choices but only gives credit for one of them.
"ordered"...not order
One of the examples given is: "Nadie responde...lo mismo el restaurante ha cerrado." Can you say the same thing and exchange "lo mismo" for "quizas": "Nadie responde...quizas el restaurante haya cerrado."?
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?
Is this expression used only in Spain? I cannot find more information about the usage of this idiom. My teacher has not heard of this either.
1. In the second sentence, "para que te acuerdes de que me he portado muy bien"...Why isn't recordar accepted here?
2. In the sentence, "Además, desearía que ayudaras a las personas enfermas"... why isn't "ojalá que" accepted as a translation of "I hope"?
