Articles in Spanish + Matching gendersHi Kwiziq Team,
Please may I ask the following questions:
1) 'Soy profesora de español' - I am a Spanish teacher.
**Why is the answer not 'Soy una profesora de español' - why is there no need for the 'una' / 'a' in this sentence?
2) 'Está en el centro de la ciudad' - It is in the centre of the city.
**Why would the correct sentence not be 'Está en el centra de la ciudad' - would 'centro' not need to change to 'centra' to work with 'la ciudad' which is feminine?
Or is 'centro' simply a location, not an adjective in this example so doesn't have to change gender?
Apologies if my questions are confusing! Thanks very much for your help! Great website!

I was curious...
En esta frase, "Me recomendó que practicase meditación y que tuviera una actitud positiva." Es muy común que una persona mezcle ambas formas del imperfecto de subjuntivo dentro de la misma oración?
In spite of the hint that 'esos' refer to more abstract things, in the test above ( cakes) why would it be esos not eses?

Hola Inma,
I'd like some help with the following. Since the present and indefinido "we" form of -ar verbs are spelled the same, I would like to check something. The related lessons are all about the indefinido, but there is a strong implication that some of the events would still be on-going, such as cultivating crops etc, raising livestock and producing electricity. Do we assume that these are no longer being carried out, or does this narrative style of events over a fixed period of time allow us to use the indefinido throughout, even if some of the events have been started and are still ongoing?
Saludos
John
1. You marked my "continúa" as incorrect, telling me to remove the tilde (but you then included the tilde in your final version).
2. You told me to "Use a conjunction other than conque for 'so'", and then you proceeded to use "conque".
At the start of the explanation, there is a reference to the future simple which I think should be the conditional.
