>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.
Use "recordar" for "to remind of..." ( = idea brought to your mind)
Use "recordar que" for "to remind that..."Eso ________ tengo que recoger a mi hijo del colegio en 5 minutos. That reminds me that I have to pick up my son from school in 5 minutes.(HINT: it conveys something is brought to her mind)
Hola, I’m confused, if I use the clue (brought to mind) I get the answer wrong (the correct answer requires que). Please clarify, muchas gracias, Shirley.
What is the exact wording of the audio for the following sentences? I can´t work out what is being said at the end of each of the sentences.
Un euro está a 0.88 libras. El dólar estaba a 0.75 libras. La libra estará a 1.14 euros.
Would it be possible to create a lesson on how to say different kinds of money - For example, dollars and cents, euro and cents, pounds and pennies, and any other major currencies?
Kind regards, Ellen
The topic is the Mosque-Cathedral in Córdoba
Se encuentra en Córdoba, la que fue la capital del Califato Omeya andalusí, que fue proclamado por Abderramán III en 929.
Could I say:
Se encuentra en Córdoba, la capital del Califato Omeya andalusí, que fue proclamado por Abderramán III en 929.
Gracias
Que se cultiva mucho además de la soja?
I think the title of this lesson needs to be edited - it looks like it's saying "un" + "tanto/algo" + adjective. But it's saying "un tanto/ algo + adjective"" (which is how people are saying it in the discussion below).
“I am confused when " preterito " is appended to most of the tenses. This practice is not widely used in Spain or Latin countries. Why not use the tenses which are commonly used. I know that the preterite is used for past tense so when preterito perfecto subjuntivo is mentioned I expect that the past subjunctive is meant NOT the perfect subjunctive! I wonder whether other participants experience the same problem.“ In school, we never learned the English equivalents of these various subjunctive terms. We didn’t really learn much about the subjunctive in English at all. It was a whole new concept beginning to learn it in Spanish. How is it taught to Spanish speaking children? Do they find it confusing?
Like23 years agoShare(1) Most of the adverbs on the list are used with adjectives: demasiado verdes, muy estricta, un poco cansadas, bastante ruidoso, tan rápidamente.
(2) But mucho is different as it is used with verbs: te quiere mucho, no dormí mucho. And it wouldn’t seem to work with adjectives, for example, los platanos están mucho verdes needs to be stated as muy verdes.
(3) Tanto is different again, as it functions as a direct object. No puedes comer tanto.
Are these differences important, and should we learn more about these different categories of adverbs? Thanks.
it was good but I don't have á o í. you shouldn't look at in the beginning thanks
The problem with saying 'either no longer true or not relevant' here creates a grey area because normally if we understand a condition to not be relevant, we would use the imperfecto, surely? See the first question in the quiz for example.
