Spanish language Q&A Forum

Is there a reason why "and you can see advertising" translates as "es posible encontrar publicidad." Would "y [se] puede ver publicidad be acceptable? 

Hola Inma,

I used "planta" rather than "piso," and was marked incorrect. Is there a subtle difference?

Saludos

John

Hola Shui, Inma y Anna,

¡Estoy tan feliz con este reader! 

Muchísimas gracias

Why is it "Han salido" and not "Salieron"

Thank you! 

Is this common usage in both spoken and written Spanish? Is it more common in Spain than in Latin America? (i.e. Will there be raised eyebrows if I use it in Mexico, like there often are when I use "cover?") Thanks!

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?

I understand your explanation of the usage of this pair, but cannot relate them to the sentences that you set and so consequently keep getting marked wrong. It is very unlikely that I will ever do much writing in Spanish, so it is not very important to me. Unfortunately, the consequence of getting them wrong means that you keep on setting new ones on the same subject. A vicious circle. Can you please stop setting them for me so that I can move on and learn new things. The same applies to que/qué

Included in the possible answers in the mini-quiz are:

1. Ni un bocadillo ni un burrito me apetece. (Correct)

2. Me apetece ni un bocadillo ni un burrito. (Incorrect)

Can you please explain how placing "Me apetece" at the beginning of the sentence instead of the end changes the meaning and makes it incorrect?

Many thanks.
