Spanish language Q&A Forum

The example 'Sierra Nevada se encuentra en la provincia de Granada.' seems to me to suggest passive 'se' rather than reflexive. Perhaps because I tend to translate it as 'is found' (passive). Is that an accurate translation?

Also, I've got in the habit of using the Latin American ubicar and estar ubicado. Are these considered incorrect in Spain?

Hi,

Prior to this lesson I was reading about the subjuntive case of verbs.  It seems that in the sentence above, the subjunctive case has been used.  It does not appear to satisfy the WEIRDO requirements.

Can you please tell me why 'ella se visite' has been used and not 'ella se visita'?

Thanks.

Colin

Hola forum y los expertos 

Mi pregunta es sobre la traduction de 'since they have became so popular on the market' a  'desde que se hiciesen tan populares en el mercado'.

¿Es possible decir también 'desde que se hayan hecho tan populares en el mercado'?

With "tener que + infinitive" do you have to attach the pronoun to the infinitive or can it also be placed before "tener"?

Example: Tengo que lavarme las manos.

Me tengo que lavar las manos.

Are both sentences correct or is only the first sentence correct?

By process of elimination, I selected estuvieron as being the correct answer; however, my preference would have been estaban. 

See the example given below:

Mario estaba de camarero en un restaurante.
Mario was working as a waiter in a restaurant.

Here is the question with the answer:

Mis hijos _estuvieron_ de vendedores en una tienda.
My children were working as shop assistants in a store.

My choice:
Mis hijos _estaban_ de vendedores en una tienda.

Would you explain the reason for the answer being the preterite and not the imperfect, please.

Hola,

(Sorry to revert to English!) Would the above sentence still make sense if 'la' was inserted before 'casa'?  It would then be consistent with the other similar examples, which would make it easier for me to remember.

Gracias y saludos,

Colin
