Hello. I'm a bit confused on the optional placements of "le" in sentences. For example, if i want to say "I don't want to ask my brother for money". Would both sentences below be correct? And if so, is one construction more commonly used in Mexico and Latin America?
No le quiero pedir dinero a mi hermano vs. No quiero pedirle dinero a mi hermano.
Thank you!
What does it take to move from A0 to A1? I am allegedly testing at 89.91% at A0 right now and am puzzled why I am not able under to "Choose your focus" to select A1 material? It would seem for goal setting one should know what it takes to move up. Am I missing something?
You show the accent on the word difícil on the first i instead of the second i.
Hi, is there a subject change requiring the subjunctive if the subjects are I and we? Por ejemplo, I want to walk the dog after we eat. Coz technically the subjects are different but I’m still part of the group we.
In the quiz, I selected "Había muchos niños en el parque." This was marked wrong, rather, "Hubo muchos niños en el parque."
I'm wondering why my answer was marked wrong, given that one of the examples in the lesson is nearly identical to my answer: "Había un perro en el parque."
You say in the notes:
"Sartén" is more often feminine than masculine, but both genders are correct.But in the most recent exercise I did, when the question was is "ese sartén" correct, given the gender of the noun, and I said no, my answer was marked wrong.
Is there an inconsistency somewhere?
Si quiero enviar a mi hijo a mi hermana, sí puedo decirle a mi mujer "Voy a enviarselo" pero no puedo decirle a mi hijo "Voy a enviarlete". Ambas oraciones son de forma verbo+enclítico de OI+enclítico de OD. ¿Qué hace que una sea correcta y la otra no lo sea? (Intento que se=hermana, lo=hijo, le=hermana, te=hijo.)
Why isn't "No me gusta comer el chocolate?"
As in, why don't we use the article
Why is the subjunctive necessary when the subject is the same in both parts of the sentence?
Why is yo me sumerjo los manos wrong here ?
