It's not quite true that English has only two demonstratives - there's an older word still in common use at least in the North of England, usefully equivalent to 'aquel':

It's in wider use in the phrase 'wild blue yonder'
Good lesson. I like this concept of partitives.
Can we use "uno de" in place of "alguno de" to mean "one of"? Or is "alguno" only used in this context in Spanish?
Also, is there a list of partitives that use "de", such as "cada uno de" or "pocos de"?
Thanks!
Hi, the Spanish word for “for” is missing. Thanks, Shirley.
How does one use porcentajes with this?
Sure "agua"means "water" but I think in this case the singer was saying "Look out now!" as a heads up for the band rhythm solo . . .
NOT OK Por favor Marta, les trae unas copas de vino.
but it is wrong. Why this below is correct answer? I though the "les" can be put in front of verb and behind.
OK Por favor Marta, tráeles unas copas de vino.
So cnfusing and it's just B1 😢
¿Podría ser correcto usar ambas verbos en el pretérito indefinido para decir algo diferente?
Por ejemplo "cuando vine a casa, ví el nuevo coche" en vez de "cuando venía a casa, ví el nuevo coche", para decir que lo ví inmediatamente después de que hubiera llegado (una acción cumplida, no interrumpida).
Eso me parecería lógico y algo similar sí se puede usar en inglés, pero ¿tiene sentido o es correcto en Español, o hay una forma distinta de decir algo así?
Espero que lo haya explicado suficiente claro... Muchas gracias.
Hola. Creo que los ejemplos en esta lista son del pretérito y no del presente de subjuntivo.
Gracias.
Hola,
Would the sentence above still make sense in Spanish if it were reordered thus:
El otro día mi abuela me llamó tres veces.
Saludos,
Colin
