In your example above:

should this: I don't find my keys!

be "I can't find my keys"??  (I don't find my keys sounds awkward)

Hi,

The link to the above takes you to a page with the sub-heading 'Spanish Present Perfect'.

I thought 'preterite' was always related to the past as it says in the text on that page. So, why is it present perfect in Spanish?

Thanks.

Hi I have a question. For the phrase "and with sea views," why is it "y con vistas al mar", rather than "y con vistas del mar"? 

I'm confused about Kwiziq vocabulary choices. The words in quotes are those presented as correct whereas as those in bold were the words I chose in my translation.

Why "alguna" instead of cualquier? [ ... do you have any color and style preferences...]

why "rosa" instead of rosado? [... with my pink dress...]

Why "voy a" una boda instead of voy a ir una boda? [I'm going to a wedding...]

Thank you.

Why is there an y in the sentence ... su país y al resto....... ?

This lesson doesn't address decidir caminar vs decidir a caminar

As someone else pointed out this is a bad translation of English. In English it would be said that, "It's a good thing I left Miguel!" I don't buy the British translation that was proposed as I have literally never heard that. 

‘We had to play football without kneepads’ - in English  we say shin pads (UK) or shin guards (US). Knee pads are what you use for skating. SpanishDict is telling me shin guards are ‘espinilleras’, but I have no knowledge about about which is correct/if one word may be used in a certain country and another elsewhere etc

"Fue un dia muy lindo" is describing the day and the weather. Why wouldn't it be "Era un dia my lindo"?
