In the Yucatan in Mexico, I have heard el derecho for straight ahead. It is quite confusing with 'la derecha' for the right. Todo recto is much better!
What is the difference between tener que and deber?
As mentioned in the heading; I got this one wrong when I answered the question with the Spanish phrase
"Tú fuiste muy rápido a Salamanca.”
As “you were the fastest of Salamanca” as the “a” doesnt immediately follow the fuiste.
However this one says that ir is the correct answer and that the answer is “you went to Salamanca very quickly.”
Wouldn’t that be translated as “tu fuiste a Salamanca muy rápido”? Doesn’t the change in order change the translation? Or is it because the a appears after the fui ‘somewhere’ in the sentence that it changes the meaning from ser to ir.
This is one of the topics I have found very confusing.
Kind regards;

Why don’t buitres and águilas reales have definite articles? Is it because they are examples? It’s 50/50 for me with definite articles, I can’t see any pattern and the rules seem to change even after looking at the lessons!
Where does the word "Librólogo" come from, please? Is it a play on the word Librero/a?
Me gusta esta historia porque soy un granjero!
¿Bajo las AFFIRMATIVE COMMANDS, no debería ser "tráelos"?
I've read the Q&A and related articles and am still confused. The sentence is: My sisters are often late, I always wait for them for two hours. When I apply the information in the lesson's Q&A, I ask myself: "For whom do I wait? For my sisters." Therefore sisters should be an indirect object. However, the quiz gives the direct object pronoun, las, as correct. Which is it and why? (Also, it would be helpful if you edited the questions so the correct answer to this appears consistently.)
ps: it looks like Marcos and Lisa, below, are asking the same question in slightly different ways. Perhaps you can address all 3 questions as a group. Thanks!
A quiz question asks “vas a venir al cine mañana?”. In English it seems more common to say “are you going to go the movies tomorrow?” (or simply “are you going to the movies tomorrow?”) Any insights into this use of venir instead of ir?
