Spanish language Q&A Forum

When translating an account the past in Spanish would the english translation be in the present or past tense? Like “apagan los fuegos” is they extinguish the fires but in english we would say they extinguished the fires, right?

This is NOT AO level crap.

Are you Duh-lingo or something?

Who dreams up these "tests"?  The jerk who runs Duh-lingo?  Waldo?

Could you highlight this difference in the lesson in yellow or some sort of emphasis? 

If we want to express the same but in the negative, the structure changes to:

               llevar (conjugated) + sin + infinitive

 And also, if correct, please add the explanation that  the action  changes from  past participle to infinitive because sin is a preposition, and that prepositions are followed by infinitives, not past particples.

The question did not specify to use the tú or usted form, and in a later question, it did specify "tú."  So I typed "leyó", but was marked wrong. I had "leiste" until I saw "tú" specified later, so I changed it.  Either both should be right or it should be specified, to reduce frustration.  I can see if you were talking to a family member or close friend (in an obvious context), then it should be expected to be "tú." But this was quite ambiguous- you could have loaned a book to a friend or a colleague or boss.
