Can you tell me why this is wrong? "Les seguiré contando más cosas sobre esta tradición a condición de que vengan el año que viene." This is from https://spanish.kwiziq.com/my-languages/spanish/tests/overview/573782
Muchas Gracias - Michelle
¿Ambas son correctas?
1. Solo escuche como toco.
2. Solo escuche cómo toco.
Gracias de antemano
This lesson says «present tense is used to talk about the past event», which is fine, in English too it happens.
However, there is another lesson in C1, «simple future or conditional tenses are also used» to talk about the past event.
Can someone please explain when to use the present tense, and when to use simple future/conditional to talk about the past event? Or, in the same situation, present tense and future/conditional tense is inter-changeable??
Hola
In a lesson, the question asked about the Canary Islands. Since the islands will always be in the ocean, I answered "son' instead of "estan" and it was wrong.
Many apologies. I just reviewed this exercise and saw that there are indeed hints at the beginning and somehow I missed them. Mea culpa!
I find the hints very helpful in these exercises, and my experience is that the equivalent listening dictations in the French course provide many more hints. The only hint given here is, "Tierra del Feugo". The words with which I was unfamiliar in this exercise were: recorrer; atraversar; bosques; and inolvidable. I was able to sound them out and look them up in the Collins Spanish/English dictionary. I was also unsure of the correct spelling for equipo and ciclismo. I knew the word, "entrenar" only because it is so close to the French, "s'entrainer", and again was able to sound it out.
This is a bit humbling for me to admit to my lack of knowledge of these vocabulary words, but it would be a big help to have them provided as hints to look up as we go through the exercise. Then, at least, we would know the spelling and would be able to look them up in the dictionary.
Saludos!
Why was "por lo tanto" marked wrong in this test? It is perfectly correct, isn't it?
Un bolígrafo también es una pluma. Si?
Hola,
In this lesson we have the example of "Si, te quiero."
The direct object pronouns introduced are: Me, Te, Nos, and Os. The other direct object lesson referred to deals with: lo, la, los, and las.
What is the direct object pronoun for "Usted", the formal of "Tu"; or "Ustedes", the plural of "Tu" in Latin America?
I seem to remember it to be: "le" and "les" respectively.
For example, I would say to my elderly neighbor, "Si, yo le quiero"
Is this correct? And, is there a lesson that covers the direct object pronouns for "usted" and "ustedes"?
Gracias,
N. Hilary
