What about "llegar a ser" and "tranformarse"? I would like to know the correct usage of these. Thank you.
Why can't we add these lists to our notebook? That would be extremely helpful.
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.
I have a doubt. I came across the following sentences in a book:
1. El ruido me bombardea los tímpanos sin cesar cada día
2. Los sonidos resurgían dentro de mis tímpanos
Sentence 1 seems like a perfect example of how you explained in this article. But what about sentence 2? Why would we use the adjective here instead of the article?
Thanks!
in numbers is this 12:45With digital times. Do people do like 2:05 or 2:55 some how.Pondering... I would guess people have usual ways they do it. I don't think I have ever said 15 to 2... always 145. ... and you have appointment at say 2. The person might say you appointment is in 10 minutes if the time is 1:50. I think digital clocks have changed things. I wonder if children growing up now know what clockwise means and counter clockwise. ??? Spanish prolly has words for that too.
the answer is haríamos
my query is this in the question - if you guys came we would have made ....
0r if you guys come we would make.....
is this an error or is my english understanding wrong?
many thanks
In the quiz the answer was con Uds but I chose what I knew wasn't the right answer ustedes because the Uds would be capitalized in the middle of the sentence. I'm pretty sure that's not correct either. Anyway, I don't think we need these kind of trick questions. My thought is that is a poorly created test question. That said, I'm interested if one ever capitalizes Uds in the middle of a sentence or if the capitalized Uds is standard for the abbreviation of usted and I am wrong here.
In the above example from a kwizz I understand the use of the present participle but should the subjunctive conjugation of seguir and continuar not be used here? Thanks
In the quiz, the sentence was "When I go to Spain, I always go to the beach". - "___________ voy a Espana, siempre voy a la playa"
The answer is "Cuando" without an accent. In the lesson, it says that cuando without an accent is a relative adverb which introduces a depennt clause. In the above example, what is the dependent clause that "cuando" is introducing? I am not a gramarian, but it seems like both of the above clauses are independent. That may be incorrect, but could you please explain?
