Why is estaba used in the sentence-
Después del baño, estaba muy calmado y feliz.
Why not era. Is it because describing feeling in the past?
Estoy confusado con el uso de gran fogata en vez de fogata grande, por su leccion, position of adjectives in Spanish, dice que gran/grande antes del pronombre significa Great, y despues Big/large. Es esto un Great bonfire, or a Large Bonfire? Puede corregir mi pregunta, gracias de antemano
How do I add Spanish accents and upside down question marks when completing written exercises? My keyboard does not support Spanish language.
the correct answer to what do you think? is ¿qué piensas? but can we write as "qué te pareces?"
and looking forward to your reply, should we include a preposition 'A'? ¡Espero a tu respuesta! or without a is then the correct one?
My quiz included the example: 'Éramos nosotros los que llamamos a la puerta.'
Why is the pronoun positioned after the conjugated verb in this case?
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"?
What if you want to say I have to finish the speech for Thursday (instead of by Thursday) in the sense that it is Thursday's speech? Would it be, Tengo que terminar el discurso que es para el jueves? o el discurso de jueves..?
Gracias,
Can I say "Adivino que si" or "Adivino que no"? Thanks.
Hi Inma,
The translation is given as “every journey has become a thrilling (?) adventure.” If convertirse (en) is the verb of choice here for “become”, would it have been better to give a different translation perhaps “every journey has turned into a thrilling adventure.”
It strikes me that “convertirse en” just doesn’t fit with your lesson where you say that it is used to describe “A radical change in personality or profession,” and is interchangeable with “hacerse” in that regard. Hence a different translation would have steered me towards either “convertirse en” or “volverse” [which is what I chose]. That said, your lessons on this topic deal with people becoming a certain way, rather than situations changing. Perhaps the guidance for the former cannot be carried through to the latter. Can you clarify this in any way? Saludos. John
