VERBS

Cada vez que compres plata, tienes que buscar el número 925 impreso en alguna parte. Can you see the three different verbs and how they are being conjugated? I went back to Premium because I was trying to do the module tests when I got the email from Mauricio to go to this lesson in Platinum. I guess RS wants me to keep going forward. Anyway, after tIus I would still go back to Premium to finish the module tests. And then on to Premium Plus. I guess I'll be busy for a while (un rato) before tackling the Platinum.

For me it is helpful to go back and review. Coincidentally I had just finished reviewing all of the lessons in Premium while at the same time working on Premium Plus (morning session on plus, afternoon review session on Premium) when the module tests were added. I plan to begin doing the module tests as a review of Premium in the near future.

Comprar (compres) - is in the subjunctive since it is uncertain whether or not you will ever buy silver. Tenir (tienes) is in the present and buscar in the infinitive, of course. I suspect Mauricio pointed you to that lesson in Platinum only in order to answer some of your questions on the subjunctive, not to jump forward in the lessons. So good call on waiting to tackle the Platinum course. Good luck!

How about the impreso? Is this a verb in the preterite? I also re-studied the direct and indirect object and also the reflexive verbs and it is starting to make sense. I was talking to Diana about this including the subjunctive and she does not know what I am talking about. They just use the subjunctive all the time but not able to explain it. It really is not that difficult. I think what helps is the idea that I really like tutoring. Of course just the very very beginners. I would like to be able to explain when the learner gets to the point of questioning how a sentence is formed.

Hola Aurora, Impreso is the past participle of the verb "imprimir": to print, imprint or stamp. Saludos, Ricardo

The weekly Rocket Fuel emails advance one group of lessons at a time all the way through Platinum regardless of how far you have worked. It eventually resets and starts at the beginning.

I don't get the emails weekly. I hardly get them. Mine might be going to the spam folder,

Yeah! Now have to learn present and past participles! Thanks Richard.

Hola Aurora, ¡De nada amiga! Yes, the participles are important and will be needed in the compound tenses. I stopped getting the email notification regarding the replies to the forum almost two years ago. I went through correspondence with tech support about that for close to six weeks to no avail. I just gave up on it and try to check in here regularly. I didn't know there were weekly emails. I guess I'm missing them as well as the notification. ¿Quien sabe? Saludos, Ricardo

I used to get the Rocket Fuel emails, but not as regularly as once per week, just sporadically, and I haven't received one for quite some time.
