Spanish language Q&A Forum

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a reason the "c" turns in a "j",  It seems to me that

conduce would sound fine in front of "e" and "i" (perhaps just a change in front of the "a" and "o".

Do you know of any reason for the change?

Thank you.

Why is there "en su espalda" and not en LA espalda? 

In the quiz I just did, the question was: “¡Qué ________ tiene ese hombre!” and the answer was manazas.  Is there a reason that Mano with an “o” ending becomes Manazas and not Manazos?  Is it simply because Mano is feminine even though it ends with an “o”?

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

If I had answered, "Me estoy muriendo de sed" instead, would it be viewed as correct? 

Hola Inma,

The question was given in this format "Está bien que vosotros ________ todas las noches."

It seems like an impersonal statement but isn't the usual structure Ser+Adjetivo+Que ..... hence: "Es bueno que leáis todas las noches?"

Saludos. John
