What difference would it make if I used esté instead of estuviera?
It seems to me that when conditional is used que takes on a similar function as si.
Could we replace que with si?
E.g.
No estaría bien que tuvieses tanto tiempo libre.
No estaría bien si tengas/tuvieras tanto tiempo libre.
In the Superbike translation exercise, you translated "We'll always remember this day" as "Vamos a acordarnos siempre de este día". Why is "Vamos a recordar siempre de este dia" not also correct ?
This is an interesting construction. is there a lesson that deals with it?
It would seem to me that 'a su madre' should be after ve. could K say ... ve a su madre llegar?
Present + desde hace ...
Hace ... que + present
------
Imperfect + desde hacía ...
Hacía ... que + Imperfect
why is a future tense used in this sentence? could we use some of the past tenses instead?
Do I understand correctly that this sentence implies that it took today or even a short time ago?
Hola,
Should the phrase be "con sillas en las que"?
Saludos. John
In the sentence:
"En mi opinión, debemos reducir su consumo para dormir mejor."
The instruction tells you to use the verb "disminuir." ??
The quiz translated this as "She is looking forward to starting her trip to Honduras." Wouldn't that be "Ella está deseando empezar su viaje a Honduras."?
