Wouldn't "Le gustaría explicarme..." be just as polite a question as "Podría explicarme..."?
Hello. Can someone provide insight please? It says you use Hay in front of a noun so why is it used to say something is foggy. I am sure that foggy is an adjective just like the word sunny so why is esta used to say something is sunny but you can’t use it to say it is foggy?
I have very recently learned about Spanish subjunctive verbs. They seem most difficult to use. Hopefully I can learn a pattern as to how to use them properly. Will anyone on this site be able to guide me?
Which is the most used form: "Cómo te llamas?" or "Cual es tú nombre?" I didn't understand quite well when reading the text
(please ignore the lack of the interrogation point at the beginning of the questions, my keyboard doesn't have this "feature")
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.
I answered ‘quizá me esté enamorando’ and the suggested corrections were ‘quizás’ (even though I know they’re interchangeable) and ‘estoy’. From what I understand the indicative and subjunctive are interchangeable after quizás - so just want to clarify if my answer is acceptable or if something is off about it?
Why is turbulence always plural? Do some words not have a single form? If so, is there a place I can find a list of them? Thanks.
Las chicas ________ el desfile de moda. The girls saw the fashion show. (HINT: Conjugate “ver” in El Pretérito Perfecto) without the hint, would vieron be more appropriate? i'm having a hard time differentiating, and would not think preterito perfecto was correct here. additionally, la costurera ha deshecho todos los puntos de la falda - why wouldn't this also just be deshizo? (preterite)? there isn't really anything connecting it to the present ?
I read that the Spanish translation for "Where is the party?" is "¿Dónde es el fiesta?"
I'm curious. Is the sentence "¿Dónde está la fiesta?" incorrect? If so, why?
¡Gracias!
