What differentiates the 2 sentences belowWhy in the 1st sentence does the noun precede and why in the 2nd sentence does the adjective precede?
Aquel hombre pobre no tiene dinero. (Poor)
Aquel pobre hombre era muy desgraciado. (Disgraced)
The only distinction I see is the different quality described by each adjective.
---------------------------------------------
And, how does the chart below help to answer my question?
Adjective before after
pobre unfortunate poor
---------------------------------------------
It would be useful to use single spacing in this edit window. It would be a more efficient use of space, minimizing the need to scroll. I am obsessed with formatting.
Thank you, James
I know what this means, as I have read elsewhere that "to conquer" in this sense means "to win over" or "to attract", but to conquer out of context is a bit middle ages! Is this still used in Spain "by the youth" or have any other phrases replaced it?
Thanks
Hola Inma,
Me muy alegro que tú eres mi profesora. Me estoy divirtiendo mucho todas las noches pero el nivel b2 no es muy fácil especialmente con respecto al modo subjuntivo. Mi progreso es mucho más lenta que antes.
Gracias, James

Hi
For this phrase;
Se necesitan médicos con experiencia en ese hospital.
My instinct would be to translate it as necesitan - the same as English 'they need - but I normally look at Spanish nouns like Hospital & Gente as singular - so I might say "se necesita médicos". What is up with my logic here? Ta
Hola,
I've seen this pattern and just learned it by rote, but I'm wondering why when I see venir and salir, and probably others I can't recall right now, the preposition follows the verb?
Usted normalmente sale a comer a las dos. (You usually go out to eat at two o'clock.)
Why isn't it sale comer a las dos, or Vienen nadar todos los domingos?
I guess some rule has bypassed me at some point? What I'm most concerned is that past venir and salir, I'm going to get it wrong with other verbs.
Muchas gracias,
Hi could anyone tell me what " usar", "comodo", "velicidad", "dejan" "cojer" mean?
Do levels degrade over time? (Like, if I’m 100% on A0 right now, will that go down over time so that I’m forced to review as I forget?) If not, I think that’s an important feature to add.
Hola
I am having a hard time learning all the past tenses and when to use what. Does anyone have a good advise on how to make it less complicated?
