Taken from the examples:
OLER+NOUN—>to smell something (flowers, everything)
OLER+ADJECTIVE—>to smell a certain way( fatal, bien)
OLER A NOUN—>to smell of/like noun (chocolate, pollo quemado, perfume fresco) Google Translate puts “oléis a pollo quemado” as “you smell like burned chicken”
No olvidemos el ejemplo de la revolución americana. Elle estuvo la prueba que se podría lograr.
I put this lesson in my notebook, it wont let me retake the quiz
¿Por qué tenemos que decir "Me recuerdan a aquellas botas" si la preposición "a" es personal y botas no son personas?
Este es el tercer coche que compro este año. •
This is the third car I have bought this year.
Wouldn't "Le gustaría explicarme..." be just as polite a question as "Podría explicarme..."?
In today's translation exercise - "Something’s not right in my new home" - I had to scratch my head really hard to understand why the phrase "objetos que no estaban donde los había dejado" had rendered "donde" without a tilde on the 'o'... Yes, it is a relative clause - but here, the 'connecting link-word' is "que" rather than "donde" > (" ... objects [which were] not where I had left them").
Initially, I thought I should be able to compare it with sentences structured round the verb "saber", for example:
"No sé dónde lo guardé"
and
"No sé dónde viven" -
[sentences given in my dictionary and grammar book].
I was marked as incorrect for not capitalizing the first letter in the sentence. Are the quizzes scored that harshly? I realize that sentences begin with upper case letters, just didn’t expect on these less than formal settings to be scored on case sensitivity.
.....antes fue a tontaría. I believe this should be 'lo de que' as 'ir is conjugated, but the answer shown as correct is 'lo de', why?
Darn! once again is am trying to re-take a quiz I (really) need to work on. Message displayed after taking first quiz: "This lesson is already in your notebook. Go to your notebook now to kwiz this topic as many times as you like." Yesterday I reported this and shortly later I was able to retake the quiz (and still struggle). So, I studied and read ALOT today and want to take the quiz again. Is there a timer I need to know about (i.e. you must wait 12/24 hours before retaking a quiz? Sure would like to get a better understanding on this lesson and quiz's do show if I am "getting it" or not. As always you help is VERY much appreciated. :)
