Hola,
I thought assumption about the past (must have + verb) was expressed by means of DEBE (Deber in El Presented) + Infinitivo Compuesto, however the following examples refute it:
Los chicos han debido de beber bastante porque huelen a alcohol.
They boys must have drunk quite a lot as they smell of alcohol.
El tren debió de llegar sobre las cuatro y media.
The train must have arrived at about four thirty.
Could you please clarify this point, because I'm feeling a bit confused
Ellos proveyeron de alimentos a los damnificados.
They provided food to the victims.
Where does the 'de' come from here?
ThanksHow come it is tiene instead of tienes ? I'm thinking plural...being it says: cosas bonitas... Thank you!
can ¡Qué loco! be written as ¡cuánto loco! ?
Can i also say 'no necesitas más que obtener una licencia matrimonial' ?
Why is it "Yo fui el primero DE mi clase" and not "Yo fui el primero EN mi clase" for "I was first in my class?" Is there any difference or is DE also acceptable?
El smoking es tan elegante como el frac.
I find this example strange, can you check the audio to ensure it matches? I am having trouble with "smoking" how would that be pronounced? Ess-mo-keng? I guess this word is just throwing me for a loop
I am afraid I didn't meet , as yet, this expression in English and thus, I don't know its meaning. So, can't say if it is "por" or "para" ..
(probably the Spanish sentence has a well defined meaning but, with my poor Spanish, can't say what is this meaning..
In the quiz, the sentence was : Vas a ir con ella al teatro. I know that it doesn't sound quite right to say "Vas a ir consigo al teatro", but why would that be incorrect?
