Hello! Can you please explain why these verbs in the fourth sentence (Me gustaría lavar, cortar y peinar por favor) are not in the reflexive form? Thank you!
Why can't we add these lists to our notebook? That would be extremely helpful.
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!
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)
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)
The third example above is written "Los conciertos de la calle son ruidosísimos."
If so, it seems to violate the rule of taking the masculin form and replacing the "o" with "ísimo".
If not, is it a typo?
In this quiz question you guys translate "having always lived" with the past tense "vivió." This is incorrect. Having always lived would be siempre haber vivido. If that's not what you intended then the English translation should not be "having always lived." Either way the sentence contruction is awkward at best in English.
Me parece bastante torpe el uso de lo porque sabemos el sujeto. No deja de mostrar que esta institución como la que era, extraordinariamente cruel. (la institución es el sujeto). 😀
No question....just a comment.
This is the kind of exercise I have been searching for! Thank you. By the way, I love your accent. As a beginning Spanish learner, it is easier for me to understand you than some of the other online teachers that I hear. I am curious....is Spanish your native language? I hope that someday I reach your level of fluency:)
In this question from a quiz:
"El presidente ________ Gobierno tiene su residencia oficial en el Palacio de la Moncloa, en Madrid"
I was told that it should be del. However, in the lesson it says not to use contractions prior to proper nouns. Is this not a proper noun, despite the fact it is capitalized?
