In this sentence: “La mayoría de sus calles no tienen nombre.”
If the sentence means “the majority of its streets don’t have names”, why is nombre singular and not plural?
If the sentence means : “the majority of its streets don’t have a name”, why is the indefinite article “un” not used for “a”?
¡Qué ________ sois vosotras dos! How aggressive you two are!(HINT: "peleón" = masculine for aggressive)… why is the answer peleonas?
I have trouble understanding why the question "Do you always choose your own clothes?" has the correct answer ¿Ustedes eligen siempre su ropa? I don't understand why ustedes is used instead of the singular usted, i.e. ¿Usted elige siempre su ropa?
Many of the test questions use what I think is the plural form when it is referring to one person. I don't doubt that the answer is correct usage, I just don't understand why ustedes is used sometimes when referring to one person.
Thank you
I got confused with the explanation as you highlighted that ninguno is an ind pronoun which cant be used with a noun but gave no examples of the use of the ninguno whereas the actual test question 20 is all about the correct indefinite adjective ie ninguna playa which I got wrong. As a beginner one would naturally be forgiven thinking that there is a family of masculine and feminine indefinite adjectives but this appears wrong as the "apparent masc version is ninguno BUT it is an indefinte pronoun so would one look at a text grammar book as I could not resolve this/ Why mix up the tip on the same page??
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.
Are the ending masculine -os or feminine -as based on the noun in the sentence or the adjective of the sentence?
The answer appears to treat estar as a verb like gustar. It doesn´t appear as such in your list. What am I missing?
Why is “looking for solutions for their diseases” translated in the singular “su enfermedad” instead of the plural “sus enfermedades”? Thank you.
Do all ordinal numbers ending in 1/3 undergo the change? I understand the first word will not (decimoprimero or vigésimo tercero will NOT be decimprimero or vigésim tercero),, BUT the second (primero/tercero) does??
Ex/ decimoprimer.
vigésimo tercer
