Hola Inma
In this test question:
"Aquella chica del colegio, ________ todos se reían, estaba siempre triste"
I managed to get all these correct: de la que, de quien, de la cual. But my answer de que was incorrect.
OK, I admit that I did follow a pattern here and guess that this question required 'de' in front of the pronoun, so I actually have two questions about this:
1) why is 'de' required in this particular structure (but not usually)?
2) why is 'de que' incorrect? (but all the others require 'de')
I ask because I don't see any reference to these nuances in the above lesson
Saludos
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?
There's a previous B2 lesson on Kwiziq that teaches that "que" is an acceptable way to express "because". So why is "con lo que" a better answer to the question: "Me sorprende que él haya cedido ________ ha defendido su postura siempre" than simply "que"?
I thought there was supposed to be an article for the things we like except for people or places. Example says "Le gusta comer pescado." Inspead of Le gusta comer el pescado.
I think I'm finally getting more accustomed to listening to and comprehending spoken Spanish from a variety of places within Spain and other Spanish speaking countries, largely thanks to Kwiziq along with listening to podcasts and watching a lot of films on Netflix. It is the thing I struggle with most. Having lived for many years in the Canary Islands, I tend to better understand the Spanish spoken there, which I believe has a more Latin American or Caribbean style(?). My late dad was a Madrileño, and I don't do too badly with the Spanish speakers from that área in Spain either.
I'm grateful to this gentleman that recites a lot of the exercises for us, as he really forces me to listen carefully. I'm getting used to his way of speaking now thankfully! With this exercise I also learnt two new verbs: 'menospreciar'= to underestimate or to undervalue and from this verb 'preciar'= to appreciate.
Thanks to all at Kwiziq for all your hard work. Estoy muy agradecida.
Saludos :)
Why is the usage of nosotros as above been marked wrong
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?
Hi,
Would this be acceptable?
Le apasionan las películas de los 50 a María
And, if so, is it commonly used?
Many thanks
