In the example above (Es septiembre y hace calor todavía.), todavía is placed at the end of the sentence and not before/after the verb. Is it a less common (spoken) sentence structure?
mnemonic.
Thank you, Kim
The examples all list a couple actions that are being requested or suggested. Would it be just as normal to use it when there is just a single action being requested? Like "Pones los papeles sobre la mesa" would sound as normal as a command as "Pon los papeles sobre la mesa"? As a non-native speaker, if I talked that way would people think I don't know the imperative?
Hello,
Still a bit confused on passive SE, and have a couple questions: (1) Do "no fault", "accidental" and "passive" SE all refer to the same thing? And (2) Would the correct Spanish translation for "Yesterday I fixed his computer, and he has already broken it" be "Ayer le arreglé la computadora (el ordenador) y ya se lo/le ha roto”. If correct, should I use “lo” (for “it”, the computer) or “le” as indirect object for “to him” (?). Thank you for your input and clarification.
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”?
There has to be a way to make this stuff stick, and not make me fall asleep in the process. What can I do? I've my final on Monday so I need any help I can get.
When is de used after faltar?
I've read it's mostly a formal construction?
This is a quote from kwiziq that is supposed to be explanatory, but it does not suggest a rule to know which adjectives have this form of ending. How are we to know which adjectives have this irregularity? Why can they not just follow the regular formula?
"hacen demostraciones en directo e imparten cursos, lo que atrae la curiosidad"
Hacer demostraciones y impartir cursos son dos cosas, y las dos cosas serían referidas de las que atrae curiosidad, no? Porque habla de 2 cosas y luego tienes que usar el singular? Gracias!
"Yo visité unos cuarentas países cuando era joven" (taken from a test, correct answer), pero "unos ochenta minutos".
I would have expected that "unos cuarenta países" is correct. Why isn't it?
