why do you add "me" as in me comería, or me compraría. Just for emphasis? Can one do away with the "me"?
The test question "I always wanted to be a dentist." I answered "he querido" but correct answer was "quise"
Isn't that a past action that continues into the present? - perfecto?
Anyway this particular topic seems to be all over the place. The goal of these questions shouldn't be trickery IMHO. We're learning to speak a language - not to be a textbook scholar - or at least that's my goal. I asked one of the many Spanish speakers where I work what they thought and they said "it could be either and I'd understand you."
All the examples have nouns of the same gender/number on both ends of the sentence. What if it was "Maria es igual de alt_ que los gemelos"? Is it "alta" because Maria, or is "altos" because "los gemelos"?
In question 39: can it also be, "vamos a tener," or is it only "tredremos?"
why don´t we use the preterite imperfect or preterite, as the event has happened already in the past and the preterite perfect gives some sense that it is still continuing?
"Encuentra a Andrew atractivo." Sounds funny to me, but I'm not a native speaker.
I got a little stumped on this one, but I wrote "Ella piensa que es atractivo (or would it be "sea" because of pensar?)
I recently read "se queda embarazada", and I also found it on 20Minutos. However, apparently, being pregnant is not a permanent change. Is this considered a special case?
Would it also be possible to use "Esos que" in this context?
This is a good concise explanation, but having more targeted practice opportunities would help me progress in this area.
