My question is not about the answer per se... but the phrase {si yo necesitara ir al trabajo}... what is the verb tense or form for necesitara? I am thinking it was future of necesitar but that would have á vs a in the ending. Also the phrase will be will need to go to work. Thanks.
en lugar de: "Mar Azul se convirtió en un símbolo de superación..."?
gracias
The quizzes have a tendency to ask good and interesting questions that aren’t in the lessons. Could you please add a note that “el mayor/menor” is an exception and that we don’t say “el más menor/mayor”. Thanks. Otherwise a great lesson!
The "hint" for the last sentence was quite misleading. Clearly, the "lit" English translation is not "what information so interesting."
Qué taninformación tan interesante información!
You could also say:
¡Qué información más interesante!
Here's the hint we gave you:Lit: What so interesting information!
In practice, are these alternatives used to the same extent as eachother? Is there a regional tendency to use one or the other?
There are a number of good questions below about the use of the preterite vs the imperfect. There is some confusion about the speaker choosing to bend the rules in order to express an action in a certain way. This is a very useful topic and might be a good lesson of its own, "When the speaker bends the rules for a specific reason".
Can:
"Mi madre, esa mujer me la recuerda."
mean either one:
"Esa mujer me recuerda a mi madre." (similar)
"Esa mujer me recuerda mi madre." (brought to mind)
Test question uses "Nos impresiona que," with the subjunctive however this lesson referenced for the answer never discusses this grammatical construction. It would be good to add this to the lesson so there is no ambiguity.
How am I supposed to choose the correct answers when the sentences and responses are all in English, not Spanish, and two of the English choices are the same?
