Can we get a lesson on when to use which word? They seem to all be very similar in describing how long something takes.
Quiz question: Ojalá ________ menos egoísmo en el mundo. ?
I wish there were less selfishness in the world.
(HINT: Use "haber" in El Imperfecto de Subjuntivo)
In the above I answered “qué hubiera” and got it wrong, where the correct answer was “hubiera.”
However, in a separate section, there was an explanation that “qué can be added after ojalá without changing the meaning.”
Can you clarify whether my “qué hubiera” answer should have been correct?
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
No entiendo que el “este” significa en esta frase :(
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?
Coudl you please add examples of compound sentences with theconjunction si? Or is it covered in another lesson?
The question is:
No ________ papeles al suelo.
You must not throw papers on the floor.
HINT: Choose the correct passive form.
The four possible answers are:
se puede tirar
se puedes tirar
te puede tirar
se pueden tirar
The correct answer given is se pueden tirar. Should it not be:-.... “No se deben tirar papeles al suelo”
For example
Ellos no saben cuándo van a llegar
Ellos no saben que lleguen?
Yo no sé cuándo van a llegar
Yo no sé que lleguen/llegarán?
They all have an element of doubt in which would suggest the subjunctive but there is a rule here that I am not understanding fully!
Thanks

"En su tiempo libre a Rafa le gusta jugar al golf, pescar, leer libros, ir al cine, ver series, pasar tiempo con su familia y cocinar platos de pasta."
Here all the things Rafa do in the free time please him and make him like them, why the verb "gustar" is not in plurar, since there are more than one inf. verb, thought gustan makes more sense. Could you plesae help me out.
Why is the first sentence future and not present?
