Thanks!

The subtlety of this concept is lost on me.  Can you explain in more detail the difference between these two sentences, please.

Hacía unos meses que trabajaba con su padre.
He had been working with his dad for a few months.

Trabajaba en la empresa desde hacía tres años.
He had been working in the company for 3 years.

Buenas tardes,

Solo quería decir que me gusta mucho el nuevo estilo y formato de Kwiziq.com. A mí me parece más claro y conciso. ¡Es genial! 

Gracias a todos en el equipo :) 

I was just wondering if there are any new languages planned for release in the near future. I have read (I think it was on Twitter) that German, Italian and Portuguese were potentially in the works.

If so, that would be excellent news, as KwizIQ is definitely one of the best language resources out there!!

Hi, I’m an environmental consultant. Am I a consultura ambiental or a consultura medioambiental please? 

Also, i know I should say soy consultura, so assume I should still say soy consultura ambiental not soy una consultura ambiental, as the ambiental part is still describing my professsion and not a quality adjective? 

Thank you. 

When using the de + infinitive construction, does the tense used in the main clause indicate the level of probability? Eg present = possible, future = less possible, conditional = very unlikely/impossible?

When is use of de + infinitive preferable to using the conditional si construction?

The lesson says, "Sometimes, when we talk about putting or attaching things on people, animals or things we still use the indirect object pronouns without the preposition." In the examples of this that are given, what preposition is not being used? Thanks!
