It's not clear which preposition to use with quien for Whose, For Whom / To Whom and With Whom?
Is the below correct?
Whose = de quien
For Whom / To Whom = para quien
With Whom = con quien
In the quiz I just took, I was supposed to translate "that famous film". I said "Esa película famosa" and was marked wrong. The answer was "aquella película famosa".
Given that the usage is somewhat subjective, and depends on how close the person feels to the object, shouldn't "esa" also be correct?
Edited to add: looks like I can't delete the question. I just went back to my quiz results, and it looks like there's a hint that I missed, that the speaker was feeling distant from the film. So that explains it.
The question was : How would you say "If you did some exercise, you would lose weight faster." ? I understand the principle of using the subjunctive followed by the conditional simple. I don't understand why there are 2 answers.
Si hicieras más ejercicio, perderías peso más rápido.Si hicieses más ejercicio, perderías peso más rápido.Becky

Hola, buenas tardes a todos,
Voy a intentar el pregunto en español. ¡Lo siento si es realmente malo! :))
Tengo una pregunta sobre esta frase:
‘Ese letrero no quiere decir que nosotros no podamos usar esta carretera.’
That sign isn't saying that we can't use this road.
HINT: Conjugate "poder" in El Presente Subjuntivo.
Por favor, podríais decirme:
¿Me gustaría saber, por qué se utiliza aquí el verbo querer?
¿Por qué no se utiliza solamente decir? Por ejemplo, ...no dice... o ...no está diciendo...
Para mí la frase se traduce como... “The sign ‘doesn’t want to say’...
¿Podría traducirse como ‘doesn’t wish to say’?
Gracias
The Larousse Spanish Dictionary shows: -3. (en frases) ¡a mí qué! so what?, why should I care?; para mí: (yo creo) as far as I'm concerned, in my opinion; por mí: as far as I'm concerned; por mí, no hay inconveniente it's fine by me
How do we get to the: para mí: I have a feeling that ?
Even after the lengthy explanation it's still unclear.
Por mí que cierren el cine. why should I care if the close down the cinema =Por mí si ellos cierren el cine?
No?
Once again, if there is more than one answer, would you please indicate that.
It is very annoying to know the answer(s) but not being informed that more than one my be selected.
Thank you,
Sherri
Usually the conditional tense adds "would" to the verb. E.g. comería, would eat; habría, would have; vendría, would come, etc. But "should" is not the same as "would". It implies a duty or obligation, whereas "would" does not.
So debería etc. seems to be an exception because it means "should" not "would"!
