A question about a verb used.Hola, buenas tardes a todos,
Voy a intentar el pregunto en español. ¡Lo siento si es realmente malo! :))
Tengo una pregunta sobre esta frase:
‘Ese letrero no quiere decir que nosotros no podamos usar esta carretera.’
That sign isn't saying that we can't use this road.
HINT: Conjugate "poder" in El Presente Subjuntivo.
Por favor, podríais decirme:
¿Me gustaría saber, por qué se utiliza aquí el verbo querer?
¿Por qué no se utiliza solamente decir? Por ejemplo, ...no dice... o ...no está diciendo...
Para mí la frase se traduce como... “The sign ‘doesn’t want to say’...
¿Podría traducirse como ‘doesn’t wish to say’?
Gracias
hola,
both tiempo and estacion are used for season, why?
Also, entonces and asi are bothed used to say "so". When do you use each?
Finnally for yo suelo, what verb is suelo conjugated from to mean usually?
gracias
I recall that an earlier lesson mentioned the phrase "entre si" meaning "among themselves". The pronoun "si" seems to be the object version of the reflexive pronoun "se". When following the preposition "con", it also contracts to "consigo" just like "conmigo" and "contigo". The word "consigo" is also the same form as the first person present tense indicative mode of "conseguir". Maybe these discussions can be added to this lesson? Also, let me know if the pronoun "si" carries an accent or not. I think there is but I am not sure. Thank you.
There was a lot of food at the party. (completed action in the past)
Había mucha comida en la fiesta.
There was a lot of food at the party. (action not completed in the past, descriptive)
Which action is (not) completed in the past? The party? What if we add "ayer" at the end of the examples? Will is change anything? Is the process of eating food meant at completed? So "hubo" in the first example means that food was over at the party?
Please help me to understand the differences in these examples. Thank you.Is anyone else just chipping away at the Spanish lessons here hoping that one day they will understand enough to have the courage to talk to someone in Spanish? I'm level B1 in the lessons, but probably A2 when it comes to writing, A1 when it comes to listening and A0 when it comes to converations!
I fully understand I won't ever be fluent unless I talk with Spanish people, but I'm level C2 at making up reasons why today just isn't the day.
What is the difference between ‘el pretérito perfecto’ and ‘el pretérito perfecto compuesto’ ?
The subjunctive is used in "Cuando tus hermanos lleguen será muy tarde." even though there is no intention to "make something happen" in the future. Maybe that description should be added to, to make it more clear that future things that will happen anyway (there is no intent to change things) also trigger the subjunctive after "cuando"?

So the difference between cuál/cuáles and el cual/la cual/los cuales/las cuales is that cuál and cuáles are not preceded by articles and will only be used in questions, whereas el cual/la cual/los cuales/las cuales are preceded by articles and will not be used in questions?
