The last sentence of Cachapas is: es de un sabroso que ni te imaginas. Why not: es de un sabor que ni te imaginas.?? 

Hola,

Is there a lesson which develops this theme, and discusses when the definite article is used with the noun in the body of a sentence - and if there are times when this is not the case?

Thanks. John

I am very confused. In the above lesson it describes when to use poder in the preterite indefinido.

in this lesson there seems to be No specific moment in the past or where speaker is outside the time frame 

This lesson "Conjugate poder in the preterite tense in Spanish (El Pretérito Indefinido)" it describes when to use the preterite indfinido when referring to a specific moment in past  and time it happened is relevent OR referes to pastwhere speakersees themselves outside the time frame

FYI: this sentence in English is incorrect.

I bought her some books about Mexico in case they were useful for his trip to Acapulco.

"in case they would be useful"

Why is the past participle used after the verb sigues.  Can you point me to the lesson where this structure is explained. Many Thanks

Hi, For some reason when trying to get the video, it says Video unavailable.

However, I was able to see other videos i.e Súbeme la radio - Enrique Iglesias etc.

In a textbook a sentence was given as:

“ Es muy gordo; come más que dos hombres ordinaries.”

My question is why is it not más de because of the “dos” being a quantitative factor.  Is it a comparison?

Hi, Shui, is there a difference between “este está compuesto por” and “este es compuesto por”? I would have expected the ser form in this context. From reverso.com I see both forms are quite common. Why would you choose the estar form in this case, and would the ser form be wrong? Thanks!

Hola,

Is the 'a' always required? Can you say 'Maria le gusta', rather than 'A Maria le gusta'?

Apologies if I've missed it in the text.

Gracias,

¡Hola!

Let's have a look at the examples:

1) 

- Sorry, I couldn't come yesterday, I was a bit busy

- You couldn't have come anyway,  roads were blocked because of the snowfall

2) 

- I saw Maria yesterday

- You can't have seen her. She left for Bahamas three days ago  

How can I express these ideas in Spanish by means of the verb poder and perfect infinitive?

Regards, 

Alexander
