La vida con Roberto probablemente se volvería muy aburrida, muy rápidamente, mientras que la vida con el bohemio sería un perpetuo juego de adivinanzas. Ella debería seguir buscando.
Which tenses do these 3 forms represent? I suppose one is the usual conditional tense
customer: quiero un café.
me: qué tamaño?
customer: pequeño por favor.
(the coffee shop in question has creative names for its sizes, so I often hold up a cup to clarify. :p)
me, holding up a small cup: cómo esto?
my understanding is that since the phrase "like this?" doesn't contain a noun after "this," then "esto" should be used. but technically we've been talking about "el tamaño," so is "este" correct instead? I've never been able to find something explain this exact scenario. 😅
In There Will Be Blood:
Yo me bebo tu batido. ¡Me lo bebo entero!
It was very interesting to learn about the exams for public sector jobs in Spain. Good range of vocabulary and verb tenses. The native speaker was appropriately paced and clear for B1. Thank you for this exercise.
A better translation of this might be: "Take into account the proposal". You could also say "Have account of the proposal" but it sounds a bit 19th century.
i am confused. there is another lesson that uses deber in perfect tense and deber in present + haber to indicate assumption that something must have happened that is expressed by the main verb as infinitive or past participle. This lesson seems to be speaking of the same thing until the last part that says
Eso debe de haber caducado hace tiempo
That must have expired some time agoI am confused by this 2 very similar lessons. may you point out the differences to me?
how do I use such structure to say something must had been done as in an assumption in the past?
