In English it’s only math, never the plural “maths.” This word doesn’t exist.
This lesson says:
"In Spanish, to express that someone "would have [done something]" in the past, we use the auxiliary verb haber.
Haber [ìn the conditional simple] + participle of main verb"
However wouldn't you use the perfect conditional to say "would have"?
How does one know if
"Hay un incidente ahí; tendrán que llamar a la policía."
should be translated as
1) There is an accident there; they MIGHT have to call the police (probability)
vs
2) There is an accident there, they WILL have to call the police (statement of fact)
Thanks
Although we have had the sound with the video, it would be helpful to have somebody reading SLOWLY the text..In this way we can listen to the words and listen at the same time. This is how the French module is set up. It helps us learn. Graçias!
the English translation of "la puedes cocinar a la plancha" is rendered as "you can cook it on the plancha". Is "plancha" an English word? I have never heard it before and I don't know what it means. I looked it up and it says "flat top grill". I'm not even sure what that is. Is "plancha" a word that is used in Brittish English?
I think I understood this except, but I'd feel better if there was a translation, too.
They should drink quite a lot.They must have drunk quite a lot.They actually drank quite a lot.They couldn't drink a lot.Sorry to be persnickety--"drunk" is only an adjective in English, never a verb. "Have drank" is the correct form.
