Hola. Creo que los ejemplos en esta lista son del pretérito y no del presente de subjuntivo.
Gracias.
In a quiz question (20% is a small number), why is the answer el "20 %" not accepted? The lesson seems to suggest that either that or El '20 por ciento" should be ok. Thanks.
I wonder what the purpose of the subtle but significant change of meaning in Tanta luz no es buena to mean "This much light is not good." instead of "So much light is not good?"
If one is hired as a translator, I don't think one would take it upon oneself to make a change of the speaker's meaning in such a way.
I'm confused by the title of this article: "personal "a" verbs". Isn't the issue whether the direct object is a person or not, rather than the verb used? In addition to the verbs mentioned, isn't the same true of all the verbs on https://spanish.kwiziq.com/learn/theme/830919 as well as necesitar, golpear, ... indeed any transitive verb?
I'm reassured to see that even Mexican reporters sometimes conjugate their verbs incorrectly.
I really enjoy reading Spanish history. Do you have anything on the Inquisition?
Sorry, I understand my mistake now - please disregard.
Hi Inma
Am I right to assume that these essentially translate into English as the same thing? Otherwise, could you explain any other differences in meaning that might exist?
1) Su avión ha debido retrasarse
2) Su avión debe haberse retrasado
AND that adding 'de' also makes no difference to the meaning (other than maybe 'strengthening' the assumption as we learned about here: Spanish modal verb Deber versus Deber de (obligation and assumption))?
Saludos
Él pudo irse de vacaciones
why we use 'irse' in this sentence? instead of 'ir'
When SE is used in a sentance, how kan we know if it referes to a "he" or a "she"??
Examples taken from your grammer:
Prepara la carne para el = Preparasela = Prepare it (the meat) for HIM
Firmen el documento para ella = Firmenselo = Sign it (the document) for HER
