Question

iHola!Could you please clarify the point:No se marcha porque está cansado (No se marcha y la causa es que está cansado)No se marcha porque esté cansado, sino porque se ha enfadado (Se marcha y la causa no es que está cansado)I've come upon a sentence:No vino porque no quisiera, sino porque no pudo (The translation says: He did not come not because he didn't want, but because he could not) So I wonder if it really says that somebody didn't come. I guess one "not" is missingRegards,Alexander

Hola Alexander
Yes, that last sentence is missing a "no" just before "porque" to mean what it says in the translation. It should say:

No vino no porque no quisiera, sino porque no pudo."
(He didn't come not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't.)

I checked in our lesson and I couldn't find that example/question. Is it something you've seen in our site? Could you let us know so we can correct please?
Saludos
