In the example "Los turistas fueron a El Salvador." Why isn't it "LAS turistas?"
I am still confused when to use and when to omit the definite article. I end up guessing, which is sometimes right and often wrong. Example 1: "En lo que se refiere a incendios forestales." We're talking about forest fires in general and there is no definite article "los". Example 2: "Es importante que no nos olvidemos del cambio climatico." The English statement is that we must not forget about climate change in general. This time there is the definite article "el" or "del". Is there a rule or guideline that might clear this up for me? Thanks.
do you think you could give the translation into english of the dictation exercises at the end? - as it would be helpful thanks :)
can i clarify that why isn't "hay tantas cosas por hacer" correct instead of "Hay tantas cosas que hacer"? It would be useful if you could direct me to the relevant notes, if there is.
Another question is that, why is "todos los vecinos de la comunidad" using tuvimos instead of tuvieron when they had a meeting?
One last one is to clarify is "representar" + preposition A, a fixed expression to express on behalf of (someone) and that in this sentence, it is not personal A because we are referring to a general group of people? or the group of neighbors are not considered as general but specific persons?
Your replies are much appreciated. thanks.
Este texto no es largo. Tienen textos mas mas largos :) . Lo se, ya que he aprendido casi cada texto de niveles A1 y A2 y , los me ayudan mucho hablar y entender! Gracias por su trabajo!
In the quiz, I selected "Había muchos niños en el parque." This was marked wrong, rather, "Hubo muchos niños en el parque."
I'm wondering why my answer was marked wrong, given that one of the examples in the lesson is nearly identical to my answer: "Había un perro en el parque."
Why is there so much inconsistency with questions of this type? "Son" was marked incorrect an an answer though it translates to 'The product in this store are plastic" yet a very similar question today of "De qué _______ esa escultura?" has "es" as an allowed alternate even though escultura is a feminine noun. Regarding this first question, is there a significant difference between (being plastic) and (being made of plastic) that we're supposed to know?
Why is there a ‘por’ after pagar in the first example and not in the second?
No voy a aceptar que pagues por todo.
Deja que él pague las cervezas.Hi,
Would this be acceptable?
Le apasionan las películas de los 50 a María
And, if so, is it commonly used?
Many thanks
