Questions & Answers about El evaluador dice que sigo sin tener la licencia.
How does sigo sin tener translate to 'I still don't have'?
Could I just say todavía no tengo instead of sigo sin tener?
Since our current lesson is about wishes, how would I add 'I wish I had it!' to the end of this sentence?
To express that wish right now, you would use ojalá followed by the imperfect subjunctive: ¡Ojalá la tuviera! Because the sentence establishes that you currently don't have the license, having it is an unfulfillable wish in the present.
Why does the Spanish sentence use la licencia when the English translation says 'my license'?
Spanish often drops possessive adjectives (like mi) in favor of definite articles (like la) when the owner is entirely obvious from the context. Since you are the one who continues without having it, la licencia naturally implies it is your license.
