I am finding the use of the verb Hay in tenses other Present Indicative confusing. Is it because the verb retains its multi purpose use of meaning? I mean, "hay" means both "there is" and "there are" in the Present Indicative, and "hubo" means "there was" and "there were", even though the following noun is plural? Also, after "si" when is "hubo" used in preference to "hubiera"?
The English similarity although we don't use it anymore, they are growing up on us without us realizing or she is not eating on me and I am worried.
Why does the word "llamáis" (or a lot of other verb forms for vosotros) have an accent on the penultimate syllable even though it ends with the letter s?
Hello,
En él puedes percibir
I assume this translates to 'In it you can perceive'. I did not know that 'él' can be use for 'it'.
Thanks

Finalmente, va a haber música y un baile para disfrutar la noche.
Hi,
Sometimes a word ending with a consonant takes the diminutive suffix 'illo' and other times it takes 'cillo'. Is there a rule for this or do we have to remember which is which?
Best regards,
Colin
my answer was wrong - am I correct in thinking that it is because el número is singular and therefore you don't use the plural disminyeron for the plural accidentes
many thanksdisminuyódisminyeron
I really enjoy reading Spanish history. Do you have anything on the Inquisition?
What about using an article in front of being a stay at home parent? Soy madre. Soy padre. Is there an equivalent of this in the Spanish language?
Hi there, I have (belatedly) discovered Notebooks and am finding these a great way to test myself across different levels and hone in on my weak points. I've added a load of lessons, but it feels like it's focussing very much on the higher level (B2) ones. I want to interleave my practice with my weak points from A2 and B1 too.
Question: how does it decide which lessons to test from a notebook? Is it random? Or based on your current %? Or something else?
Also, I'd LOVE a feature where it just quizzes you from your weakest lessons *of those you have already been quizzed on*, across all levels. Basically that's what I'm trying to achieve.
