Buena lectura para obtener nuevo vocabulario.
Are por qué no/ mejor no only used with vamos? Or are these phrases more commonly used for all commands (not just ir)?
For the road signs, are they third person singular for affirmative commands, and third person plural for negative commands? Or are both singular and plural third person used equally for either negative or affirmative commands?
Super helpful! Thanks again Inma! Shirley.
I have seen “sometimes” translated as a veces. Is that wrong? Should it always be algunas veces?
Can tanto be used instead of cuánto in some of these instances? For example: Hemos comido tanto pollo!
I'm holding my breath . . .
Why do you use 'alguin in this sentence? Do you want anything from the shop? Because it says you cant use algo with a noun and shop is a noun.
I would translate this as "Take any dish."
Coge cualquier plato.
I would translate this exactly the same way.
Under what circumstances would one choose to use either one?
Are these words indeterminate and/or invariable and what are the meanings or other examples of indeterminate and invariable?
If I wrote:
¿Puede venir cualquiera a mi fiesta?
Can anyone come to my party? Would that be incorrect?
I am a bit frustrated with this lesson. I guess my question is this: with my limited (A1) knowledge of Spanish, how am I supposed to know "that sometimes the feminine and masculine forms are the same" when repeatedly the test gives adjectives I do not (yet) know in Spanish?
For example, placid. I do not KNOW how to say placid in Spanish, thus how can I know if I should use the feminine adjective form or simply add mente? The assumption of adjective knowledge doesn't work unless, as is sometimes done in the test, you GIVE the adjective form in the test question; example: Los coches son rápidos: van rápidamente. In this example test question it is easy to understand rápidos (masculine form) will change to the feminine because I can SEE rápidos! The frustrates me to get wrong when it seems to be testing me more on knowing a large range of adjectives in Spanish more than the specific assignment of adding the "ly" form! I don't see my scores getting better based on the lesson given.
