Spanish language Q&A Forum

I always appreciate the richness of meanings in the examples.  Could you please tell me if my list is correct?

 (1) Salir con alguien - go out with someone  

(2) Salir con (an item of clothing) - to go out wearing something  

(3) salir de un lugar - to leave a place 

(4) salir a un lugar - to go out to a place

 (5) something you did + salir - something turned out a certain way 

(6) salir bien vestidos - to go out well dressed.  

Thanks.

The quizzes have a tendency to ask good and interesting questions that aren’t in the lessons.  Could you please add a note that “el mayor/menor” is an exception and that we don’t say “el más menor/mayor”.  Thanks.  Otherwise a great lesson!

I am having a lot of trouble knowing which one of these to use. The explanations I have found don't make sense to me. For instance "haber estado" refers to something in the past that expresses movement. Then why, when I receive something from Amazon Mexico, does it say "Tu paquete ha sido entregado". ? Very confused about this and I can't find any coherent answers.

Hi, I was trying to make sure I translated something correctly and put the phrase “after school I go home” into a translator and it translated to “despues de la escuela me voy a casa” but the yo didn’t change to me when going other places. What caused the change?

My amiga de Oaxaca pointed out that in Spain they tend to use "lo" in this expression but in Mexico it's "la." Just sayin'!

For example:  Nosotros nos reímos siempre con esa película.   We always laugh at that movie.  I would have never known to use "con."  I would have chosen "a."

And, Ustedes se ríen de los niños.  You laugh at the children.  Again, I would have chosen "a" instead of "de."  Why "con" in one sentence and "de" in another?

Will there be lessons on how to choose the correct preposition, or is it a matter of memorising the conjunction with the noun?

I am surprised that there is not a note on this question: what's in (your bag)? 

It may seem tempting to translate "is" to "esta'" but actually "is" means "is there" so it should be "hay". I thought this is an interesting case to be included in this lesson. :)
