Spanish language Q&A Forum

One question was ____________  mucha niebla. Hay or esta.  I used esta wrong.  In fact mucha is never even translated.   So why is it Hay, not esta and why isn’t mucha translated 

Hola,

The answer was "Voy a pedirle que me lleve a su casa" as translation of "I am going to ask her to take me home."

Why is the indirect object pronoun "le" used in this sentence and not "la" the direct object pronoun? I'm wondering whether it is something to do with the way that pedir is used e.g. "ask it of her." 

Can you help?

Thanks John

Could you also say “Me había regalado un esqueje”?

When "explain this" for less than correct answers refers to why the correct answer applies, I think it would be just as helpful if the program explained why the chosen wrong answer is not correct and under what circumstance it would apply.  Too hard maybe for "fill the blank" but possible for  multiple choice.  I think I saw a table that compares these impersonal pronouns, how can I find it? (Algún, alguno, algunos, algunas)

Also, when I looked up the wrong answer I found what I think is less correct English.

Guillermo didn't know many pubs and he wanted to go to some (a random pub). = "Guillermo no conocía muchos bares y quería ir a algún. ALGUNO."

In this case, SOME, implies more than one.

•Why do we have to use 'pero' in the first sentence?

•In the hint provided, it was given that tardar tiempo = take long, then in the answer key, why is 'mucho' used?

Would 2001 years be los dos miles y uno año or would mil still be singular.

Hi,

My question: Why the "ser" verb is used in this sentence instead of "estar" Nuestras vidas pueden ser muy ocupadas con la pareja?

As I learned, we have to use estar in the sentences like these: Estoy ocupado, estás muy feliz, etc. I am confused a bit.
