Hola soporte,

En la frase 'estoy estudiando español', ¿por que es no 'estoy estudiando el español'? 

I have seen the use of el español elsewhere, so ¡estoy confusito!

Amable gracias

You have this rule:

Mucho + [masculine singular noun] = a lot of / much [masculine singular noun]

Is this rule only valid for uncountable nouns?

All of the examples are uncountable nouns.

In one of the mini quiz questions the answer options gave en not a as the chosen preposition: never have I gone to Paris (it said en Paris, not a Paris). We can use either and they'd be right?

Amable gracias,

Hi,

In the above sentence could 'ir' replace 'irse'?  If not, why not?

What is the meaning of 'irse' if not 'to go'?  And, when would it be used?

Thank you.

Colin

Hola Inma,

I really like this construction. The words "I'm warning you" or "I'm telling you" are dropped, and I imagine the full meaning would be implied by the tone of voice that the speaker uses. 

I wonder whether this is like the reverse of phrases such as "Que tengas un buen día" or "Que disfrutáis el partido" where "I hope / wish" is implied and you are left with "Have a good day / Enjoy the match."??? Perhaps there is a separate lesson on this already, which doesn't come to mind right now.

Saludos

John

¿Qué es la diferencia entre las palabras rincón y esquina?

there are 2 separate lesson on this verb poder with the meaning of could, able to do something or not.

May I check if my understanding is correct?

Perfect tense and indefinido both means not being able to something, did not manage to do it, and we saw the result which is able or not able to. They have the same meaning but just that different time period will trigger each of them separately.

Whereas, imperfect tense is about the action not able or being able to do at a specific time but we did not know the ending. 

Hope someone could help clarify. 

Thanks
