I was searching for a little information on reflexive verbs and ended up with the best lesson yet! By following the links at Reflexive verbs I found so much valuable information that I'll be breathless for the next few days as I absorb it all . . .Thanks Inma
Do you mean that *ese* is used when both conditions are true or just one?
“ese, esa, esosand esas are translated as that and thoseand they all refer to:1. objects/people that are near the listener (not the speaker)
2. objects/people that are far from the speaker (medium distance)”
De quién was an option for this question:
Mi perro, ________ me acuerdo a menudo, ha muerto recientemente.
However when I selected it I was marked wrong.
However according to this page
Using preposition a and de + el que, la que, los que, las que = to/of/from/about which/who (relative pronouns)
Should I have been marked right because quién doesn't necessarily need to pair with a lo/la?
Regarding this quiz question:
Tengo estos dos pares de botas, ¿________prefieres?
The answer is “cuáles” which means that “par” is plural, and not singular as in English. Is this correct? In general, when do we think of groups as plural?
Also, how does this affect general usage? Do we say, “los par son bonitos”? Thanks.
I have to comment again on English word choices. In the English interpretation of Yo hago la comida por las mañanas, wouldn't "I make" be more appropriate than "I prepare?" Because wouldn't "yo preparo" be the Spanish for "I prepare?"
For this question about recibir in the imperfect, I inserted the "personal a" but it was marked wrong. Ayudame por favor!
In his small apartment he didn't receive guests. --> En su apartamento pequeño no recibía a visitas. (recibía was correct but adding a was marked wrong)
Please help me follow this explanation.
"We use the preposition "de" after the adjective..." by adjective do you mean facil/dificil?
when the subject is "the thing" (el armario) - Can you expand please as to what "the subject being the thing" means? What thing? What does thing refer to here?
"...not when the subject is "doing something" (montar el armario)." Isn't the subject always doing something? I don't understand this distinction.
All the examples are great and I can sense the pattern but I'd like something more concrete to be able to lock-in to the rule please :-)
Hi! The kwizbot is not changing the lessons even though I have gotten 100% on all 10 recommended lessons. He is only giving me A0 lessons and not introducing A1 lessons. How can I have the bot change lessons to something new to help me progress?
