Greetings everyone
I would like to ask why the correct answer is the option:
La persona con quien fui a la fiesta era mi padre
while the answer
La persona con la que fui a la fiesta era mi padre
is marked as nearly correct when both options are acceptable, according to the lesson above.
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)
hi,
i would like to clarify a few questions.
Este día tan especial = This special day - why do we use ´tan´?
el día siguiente = the following day - i might have mistaken, but i thought ´siguiente´ is to be placed before the noun ´día´?
So, I am working my way through Kwiziq. My question is that I am also thinking of having an online Spanish class, possibly twice a week...how do I go about finding someone? I will say that I would much prefer a group class of around three of four people - do they exist. Is anyone interested in getting together a small group of people?
I think trifle is British English. Can someone tell me what it means in American English?
How do you know when to use definite articles after the preposition "de"? For instance "la influencia de la globalización" or "la vida de las mujeres"? Why not just "la influencia de globalización" or "la vida de mujeres"? In this article on "de", Using the preposition "de" in Spanish with nouns for description , none of the examples have a definite article after de.
All the examples have nouns of the same gender/number on both ends of the sentence. What if it was "Maria es igual de alt_ que los gemelos"? Is it "alta" because Maria, or is "altos" because "los gemelos"?
"Aparecerás en el perfil de la búsqueda..." "... tu disponibilidad y el país preferido..." I included "la" with búsqueda and "el" with país, but are not used here. I never really know when and when not to use them. Is there a lesson somewhere on the website about when to use the articles? I forgot to add at the beginning when we are translating "As an au pair", the correct way is to say "Como au pair..." and again, I wrote "Como un au pair..." This is another example of me being confused as to when and how to use the articles.
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)
