Is there a comprehensive rule for when to use (or not use) PARA before an infinitive? I sometimes encounter examples where para is used without the sense of "purpose" that is supposed to trigger the use of "para." In other words, I can't use the rule "in order to" to translate these sentences.
Cuándo estaba en Australia, tenía muchos problemas para hablar inglés.
Tuvimos muchas dificultades para encontrar la parada de autobús.
Fue un día demasiado bueno para quedarse adentro.
Hola - if the answer to the question is 1, would the ‘ser’ variant be ‘es’? Gracias!
I missed “que” in my comment below. Shirley.
Does the use of the subjunctive change the meaning from “we feel” to “we’re sorry”?
Example:
Nosotros sentimos que no vengas con nosotros.
We're sorry that you're not coming with usMy answer: Comprend tanto carne que pescado. this was marked wrong. Why would it be tanta when carne is masculine?
Correct answer: Lo que.
I entered: La cosa que.
I can't understand why la cosa que can't be used in this instance?
I thought that porque explained the cause of something whereas como presented a fact that the listener needed to know to understand what followed (but was not the cause). It I’m not sure if that rule works with the examples here? Am I missing something?
No entiendo por qué la traducción de "por los propios festeros" será "by party-goers themselves"
"festero" significa "party-goer"??
There's a question about how we went to an Indian restaurant and ate everything because it was very rich. The thing they're eating is "food," but the answer wanted you to use "todo." They had it agree with the adjective of rich, but there's nothing that indicates a masculine noun.
