Hola

Cual es correcta?

1. No fuimos nosotras quienes hicimos caer a esa mujer.

2. No fuimos nosotras quienes hicieron caer a esa mujer.

Cual es la regla? #3 con 1 plural y #4 con 3 plural.

3. Somos nosotros quienes podemos hacer la diferencia.

We're the ones who can make a difference.

4. Seamos nosotros quienes se hagan ricos con esto.

So it might as well be us who get rich on it.

Gracias de antemano

This app seems to find the holes in one's knowledge. I live in Spain, I'm not a fluent speaker, but I get by. I can read most Spanish papers, books etc without too many problems.     Listening, not so good, but not terrible. Been here eight years .  Did test, got A1! Did some of their A1 exercises, and got practically full marks.    Not sure I'd pay for this, but it's more demanding than the green owl related tutor!

Are there any guidelines for the use of the phrase '' ''los demás'' versus ''los otros''  this? Many thanks

Hi.

This is quite a comprehensive list to refer to people from Europe and most of North, Central and South America. I notice though that “hondureño” is missing from the list of Central American nationalities. Perhaps it could be added? Also, countries in Asia, Africa and Australasia are listed in the corresponding exercise on countries but not mentioned here. Perhaps the two lists could be tweaked to make them match up? And finally, why not list “Escocia”, “Inglaterra”, “Irlanda” “ Irlanda del Norte” and “Gales” in the list of countries (companion exercise) since people from those places would rarely say - at least initially - that they’re from the “Reino Unido”?

(1) Juan leyó más libros.

 (2) ¿A quién ha regalado Juan más libros? (Gramatica Descriptiva de Lengua Espanola 1999, p. 1181)

 Que yo sepa(cf. Rohena-Madrazo 2007 p.1), en (1) ‘más libros’ solo tiene una interpratación: comparativa, mientras que en (2) puede tener dos interpretaciones: comparativa o superlativa. Es decir, aunque en (2) no aparece el complemento restrictivo o coda superlativa, se puede interpretar como superlativa como (3).

 (3) ¿A quién de todos esos chicos ha regalado Juan más libros?

 Lo que me gustaría saber es qué es lo que hace posible que en (2) ‘más libros’ se pueda interpretar como superlativa. ¿ La frase-qu ‘a quién’ licenciaría tal interpretación? Es decir, la frase-qu ‘a quién’ jugaría un papel de asignarle  el significado superlativo a 'más libros'?

 ¿O el movimiento de ‘a quién’ al inicio de la oración(la posición de foco) crearía una circunstancia en que ‘más libros’ pueda obtener la interpretacion superlativa?

Muchas gracias por leer mi pregunta.

When to use tanto and when to use tan in tan/to...como ??

Hello! I was wondering if there are any plans to include Latin American Spanish pronunciation for the example sentences in the near future? I would love to practice with a Latin American accent, as this would be incredibly helpful for my learning. Is this a feature that might be added?

Is volverse used to mean radical or permanent changes as well?

The hints provided were not correct on this one. It asked for Preterito Perfecto when it was Preterito indefinido and so on. Take a look at this, please.
