Hi, do you have a lesson anywhere that addresses when the subjunctive or indicative is used after constructions like “no dudo que” I was taught they required the indicative, but an example in another lesson called for the subjunctive, and when I searched online I found a lot of personal opinions, but not a good authoritative source. Thanks!
Here is your example from a Kwiziq that prompted me to research more:
No dudo que ________un buen lugar para celebrar la boda. I don't doubt you will choose a good place to celebrate the wedding.HINT: Conjugate the vosotros form of "elegir" in El Presente Subjuntivo.
hola,
how do you know if a verb should be reflexive or not? Why is there both sentar and sentarse?
I believe this is the use of buscar in the imperative not the subjunctive. I think this is the informal (negative) command form. Many forms are the same, but are not from the same parts of grammar. Subjunctive mood and the imperative mood (commands) are not the same.
No select ... buscasbuscáisbuscesbusques dinero en mi bolso porque no hay. (Don't look for money in my handbag because there isn't any.)Conjugate the tú form of "buscar" in El Presente de SubjuntivoCan tele only take la in front of it even though there are masculine and feminine words for television in Spanish?
Previously, I have only come across en casa without the defnite article.
Translating Do you always eat in the Cafeteria when there are hamburgers?
I would put ¿Siempre comes en la Cafetería cuando hay hamburguesas?
Duolingo puts correct answer as: ¿Tú comes siempre en la Cafetería cuando hay hamburguesas?
Which is correct or are they both correct?
In the last question, 'países' was marked wrong with the correct one being 'paises'. Shouldn't it be the other way round?
