Hi, I used the word "trancón" for traffic jam, but it was not recognized as a correct alternative. How come?
Can you explain what an impersonal verb is an how I know when to use it, please?
This below in the lesson could be this month or could be future. It is a bit confusing, why is the above wrong to be in the present, if it uses the same structure as the below?
Este mes tengo mucho trabajo.I have/am having a lot of work this month.Here, the speaker could be referring to the current month which they are still in, or they could be referring to this "coming" month
No entiendo por qué la traducción de "por los propios festeros" será "by party-goers themselves"
"festero" significa "party-goer"??
Re my question below is les incorrect because ver is intransitive?
There's a link to 'idioms about time' but there isn't anything to learn or do on that page. Is there a link that works for that subject?
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
>In sentences where the indirect object is represented by "a + pronoun", and it is at the beginning of the sentence, for example "a mí, a tí, a ella", it is necessary to repeat the indirect object by using the "short" pronoun (me, te, le, nos, os, les) in the same sentence.
I think this should be reworded. That "and it is at the beginning of the sentence" makes it seem like you don't need the shrot pronoun if you put the "a + pronoun" elsewhere in the sentence. I know one of the examples and the little tip box later clarify this, but I still think rewording that paragraph would help.
Desde que + subjunctive
When talking about past actions we can also use it with the subjunctive, but this makes it sound more formal.
