I would like to ask how they are related and if one can be used instead of the other one
This asked if this was correct. I put no as mar is a masculine noun, but this was marked as incorrect. The dictionary states it is a masculine noun. On the explanation this it states that it can be feminine in a poetic sense. This phrase is not in my opinion poetic but an observation.
Can you please explain this. Thanks
If I'm correct, it appears from the quiz that "aquel" and the equivalent "todo aquel que" forms have identical meanings. Would it be worth adding a note in the lesson to clarify that "todo aquel que" is simply another alternative?
What is the difference between deber in El pretérito indefinido + El infinitivo (compuesto) and deber in El condicional simple + El infinitivo compuesto? Both lessons say they mean Should have
What would you suggest as the "best" way to approach the lessons in kwizIQ. The initial test recommended B2. Is it best to study only the lessons suggested in the dashboard and trust the system to move me up and also to eventully fill in gaps from lower levels, or to also take tests for the lower levels and review those lessons, sort of jumping around from level to level, topic to topic.
Thanks!
hi, the last sentence says 'i like travelling by train'.
Why is 'viajar por tren' wrong? and when do we use 'en' for transport?
Thanks
It seems that the llevar construction from B1 Spanish is more flexible?
For example if I want to say "He had been working with his dad for a few months", then I could write:
Él llevó trabajando con su papá por unos meses.
Por unos meses él llevó trabajando con su papá.
Él llevó trabajando por unos meses con su papá.
Far more forgiving grammatically than the hacía constructions.
I am confused after getting an answer wrong in a test and then reviewing the subsequent lesson.
In a recent test, this sentence was given to complete. "No me gusto nada hacer ejercicio _____________." My answer was "después de comer," when in fact the answer was "después de comiendo."
I went back to review the lesson and the lesson states that after the preposition "de" comes the infinitive form of the verb to say the "ing" form of the verb. Now I am confused as to why my answer of "después de comer" is not correct. When do you use the infinitive? and when do you use the present participle (i.e. ending "ando" or "iendo") after the preposition de?
I chose "quisieron" because there isn't any verbal clue that they actually went rambling and "tried", so how can one decide which is the correct answer? They could have had the desire without the intention!
It would be great to have the english version as well so it is easier to understand unfamiliar words.
