There seem to be a lot of confusion around this subject. especially when using the word 'some.'

Could you please explain the difference illustrated in these two examples.

Tengo muchas postales de Venecia, ¿quieres algunas?
I have many postcards from Venice, do you want some?

He imprimido nuestras fotografías del viaje, ¿quieres ver alguna?
I have printed the pictures of our trip, do you want to see some?

And just as an aside, the sentences in English should be separated by either a semi-colon or a period, not a comma.  When a comma is used to separate two independent clauses, it's called a comma splice or a run-on sentence.  I'm not trying to be a know-it-all.  This is in the spirit of having the best grammar.

I'm confused by the use of third person (instead of first person) of haber. Why is the sentence not "Ultimamente, me he dado por flirtear con mi jefe"?

1. I find it difficult to think in terms of the Imperfect subjunctive in examples which allude to an event in the future, e.g. "Ojalá nosotros viniésemos el año que viene"... Could we also say "Ojalá nosotros vengamos el año que viene"?

2. [A comment rather than a question]: I personally prefer the "-s-" option for constructing the Imperfect Subjunctive because there is less chance of confusing it with a future construction.

I've just moved from A2 to B1, did anyone else find it a huge step? I seem to be being asked questions about tenses that I haven't been taught.  I used a different online language class before I came to Kwiziq, and may have already known a lot up to Level A2, has it always been this difficult? :-)

foggy and sunny both are adjectives, the why is it hay niebla and esta soleado?

Hola los expertos y todos  

Alguien sabe porque la frase es escrita 'Los personajes andan soñando con un viaje a una isla desierta' y no es escrita 'Los personajes andan soñando de un viaje a una isla desierta'? 

No he visto  esa construcción antes y pues estoy una poca confundida. Si es normal,  podrían  dar otros ejemplos que usan la misma 'con' construcción 

hi - What is the indicator we should look for to understand whether the verb is being used for third person presente or second person imperativo? Is it that in Presente, there will always be an El / Ella?

¡Jajaja, la probrecita Lalá!

Si sólo fuera una perrita como Lalá, Qué vida tan fácil, no? :))

Gracias a Shui y Inma.

Hola,

In this sentence, Gabriel was going to be helped financially by his parents

Gabriel decidió comprar el piso puesto que sus padres iban a ayudarle económicamente.

Why is Gabriel an indirect object, so ayudarle, as opposed to ayudarlo?

I'm guessing it is because there is a hidden direct object of money?

It's a bit hard for me to get my head around Gabriel being an indirect object because they help him, rather than help him with help (money in this case)!

Gracias,
