Help with listening skills...

For those that might be interested...

The adaptation of the famous novel 'One Hundred Years of Solitude' (Cien Años de Soledad) by Gabriel García Márquez has finally arrived on Netflix!

Another Spanish film that I found very interesting is 'The Red Virgin' (La Virgen Roja) depicting the life of the famous Spanish writer Hildegart Rodríguez. This film is on Amazon Prime.

Both great films for practising our listening skills. 😀

Which is more important, when contrast is present or when a second verb is used?

Still struggling with this (and I can see I am not alone based on some comments, lol). Can I share my thinking and you tell me where I am making my mistake? On the quiz the question was: El policía persiguió al ladrón ________ no lo atrapó. (The policeman chased the thief but he didn't catch him. I went back and forth between "pero" and "sino que" for quite a while! I thought "pero" would work because it makes a contrast (chased / caught). But, then I noted the change in verbs before and after "but," (persiguio / atrapo) and thus used "sino que." This issue, where I feel a note a second verb is one of the largest reasons I keep getting this wrong. How should I be approaching this differently? Thanks as always for your help! PS - I didn't use proper accents above as when I do my computer kicks me out of this program!

Difficult - but good for us !

Thank you Silvia ! ... It was probably more like a C2-level exercise, but we do of course benefit from having to make that extra effort ... Un abrazo - David M

Add info to por si lessonHola, a suggestion, add to the por si lesson that when it’s used as a precaution the verb that follows uses the (imperfect) subjunctive.Gracias. Shirley.
