Exclamativos con quién¡Hola!
I would like to pay your attention to the following constructions:
Quién + iba a/podía/podría + infinitivo de pensar, suponer... + que (+ sujeto) + iba a + infinitivo/condicional/imperfecto de indicativo (+sujeto)
Examples taken from GRAMÁTICA DE USO DEL ESPAÑOL: Teoría y practica C1 - C2 by Luis Aragonés y Ramón Palencia. Unidad 27
¡Quién podía pensar que Lorenzo tenía dos hijas!
¡Quién podría pensar que la empresa tenía pérdidas!
Could you tell me whether the mentioned examples refer to the Present and past tenses are used because of Concordancia de Tiempos or to the Past?
If they refer to the Past, is it possible to use Pesente and Pluscuamperfecto in the second part to express different periods of time?
Regards,
Alexander
Hola,
Could you provide a few (more) examples of the use of the verb 'to cost' something?
What sorts of things does it cover (or could you use it for everything)?
Everything fluctuates in price, so are we talking about things that we concentrate our daily lives on (sometimes obsess about!): stock market/ currency, houses, petrol, food, drink? Things we think of as fluctuating day to day?
Gracias,
How do I cause my recommended lessons and associated quizzes to increase in difficulty within a specific level, a1, for example? It seems that the quizzes I take and my recommended lessons do not increase in difficulty. I feel like I'm standing still. Even though my brain map gets greener all the time.
Thank you, James
Hello, I also fell into the trap of "puedes ver publicidad" but it was not shown as being an acceptable answer, 10 months after the last reply here.
Why wouldn't it be "no los respeta a sus hijos"?
Hola,
Is the 'a' always required? Can you say 'Maria le gusta', rather than 'A Maria le gusta'?
Apologies if I've missed it in the text.
Gracias,
One thing I find problematic (and frustrating even) about the dictation exercises is the intonation of the voice after punctuation (e.g., commas, periods, question marks, and even exclamation points) is highly inconsistent with natural speech. For example, typically speakers pause briefly after a comma, and the voice is raised sightly (or even demonstrably) after a question has been posed. These common features of natural/normal speech are too often absent and I think that is a major flaw in Kwiziq dictation exercises.

So, "hay" is used for both singular and plural? And not "han bares in mi varrio"? Can "ha" be used in such a case?

Me gusta el vídeo. La narradora habló con mucha claridad. Gracias.
Gracias por esta ejercicio. Fue muy útil. Tengo dos preguntas sobre un par de errores yo cometí. ¿Cual es la diferencia entre endurecer y fortalecer en este contexto? También, ¿cual es la diferencia entre mantenimiento y gestión? Gracias por su clarificación.
