Spanish language Q&A Forum

On the quiz, the question was: Es ________ hora; ven más tarde.  

My answer was “una mala” and it was marked wrong.  It was supposed to be just “mala”. 

Could please explain why “una mala” is incorrect? It didn’t mention anything in the text about not using the article.  Thanks.

Hello, 

I was wondering if the lesson you referred to below :

"Ours and Yours (plural) as pronouns are in a different lesson. It is not yet ready but it will be soon."

has been made and if so what the link is. 

Thank you, NIcole

If I say tengo que is this the same as necessito que for example tengo que ir or necessito ir 

Maybe I’m wrong but I thought in English, “when” is the one that goes with pretérito indefinido because it is “when” something happens, “when” something interrupts an existing action. So I would say “I was taking a shower when the phone rang” or “when you called, I was talking to a friend.” It’s weird to me to use “when” to go with an ongoing action. I mean “when” is a point in time, right? Not an ongoing event.

I know what this means, as I have read elsewhere that "to conquer" in this sense means "to win over" or "to attract", but to conquer out of context is a bit middle ages! Is this still used in Spain "by the youth" or have any other phrases replaced it?
Thanks

 Is this how you say "went shopping", or "looked round the shops"??

When a word ends in -o or -a, how do we know which is preferred?  When  to use -illo, -illa, etc. and when to use -ito, -ita, etc.?   For example, is it gatito or gatillo for a little cat? Chiquita or chiquilla for a little girl?  Or are both acceptable endings?  Thanks in advance for clearing this up.

Hola,

Los mariscos en Grecia estaban riquísimos

I would have said eran riquísimos - because it's a characteristic.

Why am I wrong? :)

Gracias,
