Hi,
For this sentence "formaré un círculo como base del iglú" could I have used this sentence instead?:-formaré un círculo para el base del iglú
Thanks
Hola Silvia,
¿Se usa mucho el verbo acudir? O sea, ¿se usa mucho en vez de 'ir'?
Gracias por usarlo aquí, nunca lo había visto antes.
that is usually taken with a mobile phone
I put 'que suele se hace con un teléfono móvil' which was corrected to
'que habitualmente se hace con un teléfono móvil' or 'que suele sacarse con un teléfono móvil'
Is my answer gramatically incorrect or is it a matter of style?
Gracias
Is there a specific quiz related to this topic that I can practice? How do I access that?
In the example: “ Dígame? - Hola, ¿puedo hablar con Juan?” isn’t “dígame” the imperative, not subjuntive?
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.)
"It's important to note that the slightly more formal relatives "el cual, la cual, los cuales, las cuales" can also be used with prepositions exactly the same way as we showed above."
In the second question for this exercise "con cual" is indicated as being correct, but the body of the exercise suggests that when speaking of people, la or el cannot be omitted.
Any thoughts?
This time I remembered our anniversary.
Why is this sentence not being translated as:This time I HAVE remembered our anniversary.???One of the test questions was about the word order for this phrase and the following is considered incorrect: Por favor Marta, les trae unas copas de vino. Based on this lesson, I thought that the indirect object pronoun (les) could be placed before or after the imperative (i.e. traéles or les trae). Can you please explain the difference?
I don’t really understand how you can tell when not to translate verbatim? Is there a reason “ Now I cannot stop thinking about her” cannot be translated as “Ahora no puedo dejar de pensar en ella “. I am not seeing why it is translated as “ahora no dejo de pensar en ella”. Why wouldn’t the translation for that just simply be “now I don’t stop thinking about her”. Please help me understand why this is incorrect. These examples are the only reason I am doing poorly. Thank you.
