I thought Que tal?was an informal greeting. Given as a correct form in your answers whe greeting an elderly man.
In the dictado exercise Carbón (A2) there is a sentence, I was very good, Yo fui buenísima that corrects to fuí with a tilde yet I can find no source that uses a tilde with fui. Is this an error? Also the word buenísima does not appear in my New World Spanish/English dictionary, if I Google buenísima it reverse translates to muy bien but this exchanges a adjective for a adverb. What's going on here?
d
I thought if the two clauses in a sentence that normally takes the subjunctive both have the same subject, you would use an infinitive form rather than a subjunctive?
Why is there an "s" when asking "Como te llamas?" but not for "Como se llama usted?" I understand that usted is formal, but why the change in llama(s)?
