Hi,
I was wondering if you have a lesson or if you could explain to me the formal and informal uses for Spain and LatAm.
Is ustedes formal for both? I know that the "vosotros: form is not used in LatAm. So what would be all the ways of being formal, i.e. sing and plural? and who does what?
Thank you.
Nicole
FYI: this sentence in English is incorrect.
I bought her some books about Mexico in case they were useful for his trip to Acapulco.
"in case they would be useful"

Hi, I'm new to the site and trying to understand how it works. Is there a specific section of the site for these exercises or do they only appear as suggestions in the notebook section? Thanks!
In English, we also say that a book is "heavy reading" when the subject matter is academic or complicated and detailed. A subtle difference between heavy reading and difficult to read. A book might be difficult to read if it is badly written. Not quite the same as "heavy reading"
Does the same subtle difference exist in Spanish?
I am very confused with the use of subjunctive mode in hypothetical clauses intorduce by si and the second followed by conditional verbs. I found out there their are different modes, present ,past, imperfect 1&2 , pluperfect 1&2. How do I know which is to use,?
On my latest quiz, I was asked to write “Alicia has as much joy as Carmen.” I chose “Alicia tiene tanta alegría como Carmen”, because I understood “tanta” means “as much/as many…as”. My answer was wrong. The correct answer is “Alicia tiene tan alegría como Carmen”. I thought “tan” here meant ”as…as”. Did I misunderstand something from the tan/tanta mini-lessons?
