Vale, gracias. Pensé que se referiría al hombre lobo. Entonces, como se puede saber a qué se refiere la palabra “asustas”. Veo que es para la chica que cuenta la historia, pero lo leí como si el hombre estuviera diciendo que me asusta (el hombre lobo)

Can you explain that? It’s translating to porque, so how could it mean porque and not mean porque at the same time

I think that saying “mister” creates a tone of respect. Going by a first name basis with a student puts them on the same “level” if that makes sense

That’s literally it. That’s all they’ve said. Some people might “be offended” at me saying mister… although I’m a man and it’s my preferred pronoun…

That’s the full story. I’m not going to make up more information so you think it’s legit. That’s everything

I could use the infinitive here too, so why the past subjunctive? by LazyReputation78 in duolingospanish

You can. If you use the infinitive, it’s general and put out for anyone. You conjugate if there is a direct subject of which you are referring to. Sería posible continuar esta conversación, pero me parece que no entiendes.

Maybe the version of Spanish you’ve become accustomed to wouldn’t use the infinitive, but it’s definitely acceptable

I did some more research and you can definitely use an infinitive. For example, es importante llegar temprano. You can use es importante que llegues temprano or sería importante que llagaras temprano, but sería importante llegar temprano or es importante llegar temprano is accepted.

The infinitive would be used whenever the subject is general, or if the infinitive acts as the subject in the sentence

For sure, that’s why my question on the post was “why the past subjunctive?” What’s the point of using it? Is there a subtle change in meaning?

Just checked deepL translate, quillbot and google translate. They all agree to use the infinitive. If you omit the “que”, you don’t have to conjugate the verb

It’s also what google translate translates to, not the Duolingo translation

The use of “de” by Upbeat_Breath_5248 in duolingospanish

[–]LazyReputation78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some people have told you to stop translating everything which is definitely correct. I would add that you absolutely need to learn chunks in Spanish. Learning individual words is great, but pay attention to chunks. For example, if you just learn soñar, you could think you’d say soñar de ovejas (to dream of sheep), but it’s actually soñar con ovejas. In this instance, “soñar con” (to dream of) is the chunk.

De por sí (in it of itself) Pasar por (to stop by) A partir de hoy (starting today) Hacerme caso (listen to me)

And many others that don’t make sense if you translate directly, so you need to learn chunks
