It depends on the practice, not only the amount of it but the type. Transcribe a novel and at the end you will definitely will notice the difference, even if you do it in a month or less. But you have to dedicate your time to it. |

![]() Edit: It also depends hugely on what level of competence makes you comfortable. A self-critical person has a hard life here. Last edited by Perikles; January 14, 2010 at 03:07 AM. |

Haha! You guys are funny.
No - saying simple things to my husband such as "would you like a glass of milk?" Etc. You two make me laugh!! I am a very self-critical person which does make it harder I imagine/suppose/guess. I found the local library the other day and will be going to find a Spanish novel to transcribe as soon as I can! Perhaps they have movies as well.

I have knowledge of University level English - so even if I managed to pick up a 'heavy' read I should be okay with it.
BUT, I do believe that I will start with something simple and easy!! (Maybe a kids novel?!) Okay - I have redone again: Newest in purple. Carlos nunca dijo a su familia que la sucursal de Miami tenía problemas. ![]() ¡Es lamentable que no le dijo a su familia! ¡Es lamentable que no le dijo a su familia! ¡Es lamentable que no le haya dijo a su familia! (I think that all I had to do was add the haya in?) Ahora la familia cree que Carlos les ha engañado a todos. ¡Esperemos que Carlos puede(this is not subjunctive) explicar lo que pasó! ¡No es cierto que engañó a su familia! ¡No es cierto que engañó a su familia! ¡Es no es cierto que haya engañó a su familia! (I think that all I had to do was add the haya in?) Probablemente Arturo vendrá a México a reunirse con Raquel. ![]() ¡Es fácil que ella sea contento! ¡Es fácil que ella sea contento! ¡Espero que ella sea feliz! (I changed it to I hope she will be happy - does this work better?)

Maybe easy, but not that easy, although I always recommend you pick up something that will be at your level, not so much as to be a challenge, but enough to leave you wanting more. ![]() |

-> Es lamentable que no le haya dicho a su familia. -> No es cierto que haya engañado a su familia. "Haber" is an auxiliary verb used for conjugating composite tenses. It needs a past participle. If you still haven't learnt those tenses, you can follow one of Chileno's previous suggestions and make the sentences with subjunctive preterite: -> Es lamentable que no le dijera a su familia. -> No es cierto que engañara a su familia. You could also have kept contento(a): "¡Espero que ella esté contenta!"

![]() "Es" was not a subjunctive, that's true, but it wasn't the right verb either: Ser -> es (simple present) -> sea (subjunctive) Estar -> está (simple present) -> esté (subjunctive) ![]()
