Some of the phrases sound like commands, why not use the imperative mood as opposed to subjunctive?
Why is there an y in the sentence ... su país y al resto....... ?
Hi, I was trying to make sure I translated something correctly and put the phrase “after school I go home” into a translator and it translated to “despues de la escuela me voy a casa” but the yo didn’t change to me when going other places. What caused the change?
Isn´t this a perífrasis? If so, it would be nice to label it with Perífrasis verbal in the title like the other ones for consistency and for searching for perífrasis to study.
Namely, adding a 'dr' to the stem before the regular endings.
I will leave ... Saldré
I will put ... Pondré
Is there a rule? Only for -er and -ir verbs?
Al principio, el museo iba a construirse en Madrid is given as correct
Why is it incorrect to say
Al principio, el museo iba a ser construido en Madrid
Gracias
Why can I say un hombre entusiasmado ( gender agrees) but have to say un hombre entusiasta ( adjective always feminine ) ?
Gracias
There’s too much new material in this lesson. I was only familiar with present subjunctive. To introduce two new subjunctive tenses here is a little much.
In the lesson, these sentences do not make sense to me in English:
Ofrecerían más descuentos cuando pasara la temporada de invierno.They might offer more discounts when the winter season was over.Pararíamos para descansar cuando llegáramos a Toledo.We might stop for a rest when we arrived in Toledo.Why are pasara and llegáramos translated in English as the past tense when they refer to future events that haven't happened yet? It sounds more natural to me to say "when the winter season IS over" and "when we ARRIVE in Toledo."
