Pondering subjunctiveIt appears to me that by deciding to use subjuctive in the second clause of the sentence, creates the doubt. Therefore, however I set up the statement does not really matter. Generally, I will have created doubt. I am guess that generally the doubt it pushed onto the first clause, meaning:
Me alegro de que hayas viajado a diferentes países.
I am pleased that you have travelled to different countries.
Me alego (I am pleased, as long as it was pleasing, but maybe it was not so pleasing for you afterall)... or is it that I am pleased, but you may not have really travelled the world. Which is the sentiment? Am I on the right track? I am guessing the first.
What is the sentiment if I were to say "Estoy feliz que hayas viajado a diferentes países".
Sorry, Im a little confussed.
Before I attempt to answer this, isn't patience an adjective (modifying Victor, the noun). Or is it referring to "few patients (pacientes)- not little patience" as a quantity?
In otherwords, I believe paciencia is an adjective (quality - not quantity), and I think the poco would be a modifier and not be changed. It would stay poco. Right?
But if the word was patients (pacientes- quantitiy of patients), then the poco would change to poca, because paciente is a feminine noun.
Can I suspend my membership in the French course until I am ready to resume?
Thank you, Inma
¿Enserio güey? Qué tal? Formal?
Hola,
I'm not sure why the above phrase translates as "a lot of leisure activities available in Madrid." The phrase appears to be singular (hay una) so I would have expected it to translate as something like "There is a great / important leisure activity on offer / available." Is "oferta" invariable for singular and plural?
Would appreciate your help.
Thanks. John
