Is it correct to say 'Desde cuánto tiempo vives aquí?' or do you have to say, 'Desde hace cuánto tiempo vives aquí'?

Gracias de antemano.

Maam what about singular words having accent.How do they form plurals?

Hola,

Here is my train of thought. "Ayer estuve en un concierto:" "Yesterday" requires the pretérito indefinido because it refers to a completed action at a time in the past, and the verb is estar because it is referring to a location; hence estuve.

However I am stuck with "Fue en San Juan:" Is San Juan not a location? If so, would it require the verb estar rather than ser? 

It would be great if you could explain this.

Many thanks.

Hi, 

In the example sentence, 'Nadie ha traído regalos a la fiesta', please could you tell me why ha, which I think is from the auxiliary verb 'haber', is used? 

Thanks, Clara.

There could be an element of doubt in "Piensan que"

Would you use subjunctive to translate?

They think that the missing jewels might have been stolen but they are not sure. 

She might have left them at the hotel.

Si sólo fuera una perrita como Lalá, Qué vida tan fácil, no? :))

Gracias a Shui y Inma.

Hello!  I thought the hint for "to sign up for" was "inscribirse a."  The correct response was "inscribirse en."  Are both forms acceptable?  Thank you!

hi - What is the indicator we should look for to understand whether the verb is being used for third person presente or second person imperativo? Is it that in Presente, there will always be an El / Ella?
