Spanish Subjunctive (mi novia ideal)

by RB

Feb 2, 2016

Hello, I have a project about my ideal girlfriend and I wanted to know if these sentences are correctly used in the spanish subjunctive form.

1. Yo quiera una novia que es inteligente. 2. Quiera una novia que no fume. 3. Quiera una novia que es muy simpatica.

Why don't you ask your teacher?

Daniel Hanson Al's explanation is good. I also agree that this is something you should be asking your Spanish teacher for help.

One comment I would like to make is that the past subjunctive is more formal and less of a direct, harsh tone to it (and is what I would recommend students) in sentences like: <I>Me gustaría tener una amiguita que fuese/...See More

> How do ya'll like the Expresate textbook?

I have Expresate and I very much dislike it. It is
okay-ish for level I. After that, no no no.

I would be interested in trying Teacher's Discovery for
their Spanish program.

by LEO

Dec 16, 2015

I want to quit ;-(

Monica :D Like Tyler and Michael, my classes are extremely rigorous. Yet I never assign homework over a holiday/break. I have never done that. As a mother, I hated it when my daughters had so much homework we could barely do anything fun during a break. And later on, there were law suits in our district and now we are not allowed to give homework over a brea...See More

de la manana vs en la manana

by Kelley

Jan 15, 2016

I was always taught to use "de la mañana" when talking about a specific time and that "en la mañana" was simple "Spanglish" and grammatically poor Spanish.

I have a ton of students coming from the same teacher and they all write answers such as: A las seis en la mañana Mariana se cepilla los dientes.

Mark Ha!! This is a topic that has come up at my school also. Some of the Latin American teachers in my school, use en. The Spaniard and I use por. For me, using en does not seems correct, but I accept it and do not mark it wrong.

I've been retired for two years, but I like Asi se dice because it's survival situation oriented. I used Realidades and hated it. I looked at Descubre, but found the amount of new ma...See More

Why is the Spanish "v" pronounced like a "b"?

view previous comments

Daniel Hanson First off, in Spanish there has never been a labiodental V
like in English or Latin. The reason why Spanish has both
the B and V letters in words is due to tradition, keeping
some of the spelling from Latin.

The reason why B and V sometimes sound like an American
"b" sound is due to the sounds before it as Kakm
ex...See More

Ann Thanks for all the explanations - they do help!
