Why is it eres (ballerina) And not eres una (ballerina)
This was easy to understand because it was so slow. How do I get to listen to stories in Latin American Spanish? The only ones I have found have been in European Spanish.
I saw this verse in NVI bible.
"y no nos dejes caer en tentación, sino libranos del maligno."
Is it correct not to use 'sino que '?
Hello. The following example in this lesson threw me off: "After the party we will call a taxi" (Despues de fiesta llamamos un taxi). My question is why was the present tense ("llamamos"), and not the future tense ("llamaremos"), used here? My guess is that the future time is very short (i.e., right after the party). If this is correct, is there a general rule for a given time frame that would require use of the future tense? Thank you for any clarification.
¡Hola! Tengo una preguntita...
Why do we use "es sabroso" here when in other exercises we've opted for "está rico/delicioso etc", which seems to be a similar idea?
¡Muchas gracias!
While it has been over a year since he submitted that question, I too share his frustration with this lesson. Can someone at Kwiziq give a little more explanation? It would super nice if someone could answer Jeffrey since that is exactly what I have been wondering.
I think you have the A1 and B1 verb lists switched for this topic. There are 28 verbs on the A1 list, including some less common ones like hervir, invertir, negar, and tremblar.
But then there are only 15 basic verbs on the B1 list.
One of the test questions is:
"________ al colegio ha habido problemas.
Since this girl arrived at school there have been problems."
which I answered as:
"Ya que esta niña llegó",
which was marked as wrong.
Why can't I think that "Since" here has causal value, which would render my answer correct?
Hola Inma!
Es correcto o no usar SI + PRETÉRITO PLUSCUAMPERFECTO DE SUBJUNTIVO + FUTURO SIMPLE / CONDICIONAL SIMPLE como en la siguiente oración:
Si el próximo jueves no hubiera / hubiese llegado el paquete, reclamaremos / reclamaríamos a la oficina de Correos.
Gracias,
Miltcho
